I'm looking into this as we speak, this is not the intended result as I did explain, PoW blocks were supposed to continue to mine until there were 150,000 PoW blocks, not 150,000 TOTAL blocks. I apologize for this, it is our first coin, and up until now things have been smooth sailing, I was wondering when we'd encounter our first hiccup

That being said, the end result is that the coin is even more rare than expected. there are approx 8,900,000 coins that have been mined through PoW or PoS, so we're at under 10 mil, which makes the relative value of each coin a lot higher.

Again, we're looking into seeing if this can be fixed, and exactly where the fuckup happened in the main.cpp, however as it stands, there are much worse things that could have happened. At the end of the day, the coins are worth more as they are more rare. Perhaps you can see the silver lining here. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This will also have the unintended side-effect of stopping the multipool miners who were just constantly dumping their mined coins, so it should have an immediate effect on the trading price.

Not too far to look:

There was no doubt in my mind, when I began mining, that there would be considerably less coins mined than projected. This was a hybrid PoW/PoS coin until block 150,000. It is now 100% PoS. Now everyone can participate in mining it without owning or renting expensive ASICs or GPUs that increase the carbon foot-print! BLRY is now a green coin!

As you pointed out, the silver lining is that now this coin can start gaining some real value, now that the miners can no longer dump.
I would strongly discourage any move to hardfork and re-open PoW! These are decisions that need to be made before a coin is launched.
It would be much wiser to continue working with FollowMyVote and get BLRY integrated with their codebase. Time and other resources should be directed there. Time for BLRY to build value. It is so much cheaper to buy BLRY currently than to mine it, and it has been so for many weeks now..especially now!
