If someone were to perform a %51 attack (lets just say out of spite ignoring other possibilities) causing the difficulty to drive up to an unbearable amount.
Would it be any benefit for the coin to be pooled only on a source like MPOS ?(https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos)
This way there would be some sort of record on hand as to what kind of speeds were achieved and what it's going to take to bring the difficulty back down.
(This would be assuming the 'attack' would also have to happen on one of the pools)
I've seen some new coins come out and maybe some eager new guy gets a little excited and throws 60gh/s (scrypt for example) on the pool and then just leaves.
With this situation do you guys see it more beneficial to try to only keep pools that provide this kind of data reading capability?
I could probably go into more depth about my questions and concerns but I am 'new' when it comes to the back end and would like to learn from anything
Look forward to your guys response!
Edit:
In addition was also curious to suggestions to help make things 'smarter' in terms of pools; if any exist.
