It's good to hear you guys have the situation under control. Changing the block reward to 2 shift every 25 seconds should encourage more miners to secure the network in the meantime. Once the problem is resolved and the network is more secure will the block reward be changed back to the 1 shift per 25 seconds?
This is what I love about shift, the devs and news folk are always on the ball, their response time is fantastic, I love it.
IMHO, the reward will drop back down after a little bit of evolution to the parameters of the ecosystem, but it isn't for me to say if or when.
