But killing zombies is a lot of fun.

yay we have the right to destroy peoples work, decide which coins are "shitcoins" and which ones are "good", which coins have potential or should just be killed... cause we're a bunch of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs

notice how most true shitcoins die off on their own Wink

agreed and +1
At the end of 2015 many coins will be dead. (Without any attack)

But I want my coin secure. The possibility of an attack is reason enough for me.
Shitcoins will not update their code. Most of them have no active development.
Like I said: Attacking a shitcoin is like killing a zombie. Nobody cares. Look at Apex.

exactly killing next to dead coins isn't impressive, nor does it really show what would happen to a "good" coin with a large network. wouldn't using testnet be much more useful?

I never really followed Apex, was it yet another one with a ditching dev like mobcoin, nebula, xanon, etc, etc , etc ,etc ? cause non of them are on exchanges or have people trying to make something happen with them. (even if their just bag holders looking for a dev to take over) just dead

apex was still on an exchange even if any trading movement was just to get the .2 btc daily so they didn't get kicked off the exchange.

I don't know seems like if you guys were just interested in making good coins safer you'd use testnet, find weaknesses and make coins stronger... if your killing zombies just for fun... your still killing just for fun and it's still quite psychotic Wink

He is using testnet as well. In fact he's just been working on NXT testnet at the request of many. I'm guessing you haven't read the thread thus far. He's doing a good job so far and lots of people are interested in seeing more of his attempts.

This type of thing is critical for PoS to really be considered a robust consensus system. Actually it's not great that it's taken this long for some good public stress testing/attacks. Anyone interested in the idea of PoS should be supporting people who can help strengthen it.
