So what is going on right now? Those that actually downloaded from git the previous 2 days are merge mining?
No, the only thing that changed in github is the minor version number tag on the blocks. TFT had said that anyone using the new minor version number would be construed as "voting for" merged mining, but he later agreed that some explicit action will be required to vote.
No merged mining is happening right now, and in fact there no code for merged mining in github yet.
What is the plan? I for no reason want to support BCN...
The plan is to keep fighting to keep the BCN shills and ballot-stuffers from sabotaging this coin in order to pump their ninja premined BCNs. Hopefully we can stop them, but you have to recognize they have 100 billion reasons to keep trying.
