This is what CAT coin did. This is NOT the way to lead coin that wants to be taken seriously
Hard forked means arbitrarily changing the rules midfight, and after everyone has agreed to certain set of rules.
This is basically admitting the defeat.
Time and again we see here nothing but ANTI Ron Paul views.
It's same like BAILOUTS. Everyone agrees to CAPITALISM, then the moment they fail they start talking about common good, and they want socialism and federal money.
This coin doesn't have other leaders or elders meetings... have you seen any votings here?
We have a leader who is doing hard to make RonPaulCoin successful so at least have some respect for him instead of whining.
And i agree with you that such important decissions should be consulted with community, because we don't want to be involved in centralised coin. We see it as property of all and in such case we own also rights to decide the future and future shape of RPC.
Colinistheman: Bro next time consult such things with us. You aren't owner of this coin and making such fundamental decission can't be made one-sided. You don't want to risk to loose so great community support, because it is a real strenght of RonPaulCoin and only reason it succeded. As i understand these changes are being made to make client easier to use for cryptonewbies and to not have a long period of high difficulty when interest in coin is lowwer and system can sometimes stuck in place. But this is a predictable mechanics of this coin and changing rules while playing multiplayer game is unfair and risky.
BTW Cheap RPC's to buy people... i told ya to sell high and rebuy lowwer by believers, you didn't want to listen. Or maybe you wait for much lowwer bottom?
We need to use momentum. Dogecoin is rising again and BTC is slowly recovering.
In response to the difficulty adjustment time change, trust me, I didn't want to change it more than anyone. I am a firm believer in keeping operating rules stable. That's why I didn't do it the first time the difficulty got stuck. I let it ride out, and I was hoping it wouldn't happen again. But it has happened again.
As far as a vote goes, I received a LOT of emails, messages and requests from the RonPaulCoin community for this difficulty change to be made. That is one form of vote. Secondly, I foresee a potential future with multipools hopping onto and off of RonPaulCoin like a midget on a pogo stick, riding its difficulty waves, and that would ruin it even more. The coin is no good for anyone if it doesn't exist.
By the way, you also always have a vote-- the choice whether to use the new client or not. Majority will win in that case too.
But I agree to this: if I or we ever again feel it's important to implement changes, we will do a community poll and ask if it's desired or not. And this will serve as a vote.
Sound good?
P.S. You can always address me. Usually in a polite manner is best.
