work finished since a good week... (actually I helped vtc team in tuning their new algo, so the code even predate the algo 
)
)Interesting. The vertcoin botnet has over 50% of the hashrate, will they be able to hardfork?
- Botnets have free electricity
- Botnet owners will dump the coins for bitcoins and crash the market price.
(and it won't be the case anymore at time of the fork and they might end-up on their own fork, considering wallet will have a new check point set)
actually they will probably mine the last block and be out without noticing
ps: the situation was much worst when they forked out the asic miners
Scrypt-N had ASICs?
