The more Agile MPcoin would (hopefully) survive.

I'm sorry, I'm kind of lost in this discussion, but what is MPcoin?

it would be the coins on the 1MB blockchain and as opposed to the 'gavincoin' from the forked 20MB blockchain.
(MP standing for Mircea Popescu.. - dam he must be so thrilled having the 'basic' bitcoin renamed after him XD)

My sense is that most things don't fall out of the sky and bop this guy on the head. I'll bet that there was some engineering behind it so I'm not sure that 'thrilled' is a word which captures the emotion with precision.

I think that 'mpcoin' is a mistake from a PR point of view mainly because the guy bends over backward to be unlikable (and it is one of the admittedly numerous things he seems proficient at.) Similarly, but for the opposite reason, 'gavincoin' would not be to top pick for the bloatchain fork. Oh well. I never did have much of a knack for marketing so maybe I'm wrong about this.

Not native english here so I used simplistic terms just to picture the irony/fun of the situation.

But eh my aim here is just to preserve and be cautious with my investment in Bitcoin. Hence not blindly jump in every new patch and fork..
BTW if one could make a step by step guide to prevent one's coin from getting into the forked 20MB blockchain, that'd be quite interesting.
Still got lot to learn..

Also, I used to read their logs on IRC, and there was a guy called 'pankkake' (also in btctalk) who seems to have vanished.
I think its because they disagreed regarding the fork thing, so if anyone could share the light on his views, that'd be interesting too since I used to value his thoughts.
