It's up to us, CATs. If we work together, we can be at the fork in about 4 days. If keep going as we are, it'll be almost 4 weeks.
The best way to manage this is to mine the high diffs and stop mining the dip. Slowing the dip keeps us from bouncing. Once we're somewhat level, then we can add all the hash we want and sprint to the fork. Once we're there, it won't matter much how much hash we have on the network because the network will finally 'just work'.
I've got all of my scrypt capability on CAT 24/7 - 3x Black Widow and 2 Fury - and have a rig leased. I think Blak's been doing the same. I know some others are mining as well - but we can't do it alone.
It's time - we can get to this fork and have a coin that works or we can lose the blockchain to our attackers. It's up to us.
