What a surprise, no one has answered what would have been so hard about announcing a coin re-launch to occur 12 hours from when the problems started?

Probably the answer is "devs already had their miners set up, and didn't want to wait to let others reset their miners to new chain".

I'm not an unfair FUDer.  In fact, you will see me defending the early launch problems, earlier in this thread.  But the way this re-launch was handled is silly.

I hope that, to the extent devs are compensating people by providing them replacement coins, that:

1) You will provide both the confirmed and unconfirmed balance in any .wallet files from the old chain
2) You will provide any coins "burned" by mining to that old address on the new chain, before the miners could be re-started with a new chain address
3) You will take the coins out of your own developer reward.  This is key - you made a mistake, the only way to show ownership of your mistake is to pay out of your own pockets.  If you just increase the supply artificially or provide us with coins that were earmarked for bounties, you are just diluting the value of the brand without taking any responsibility.

This is a list that would start to address some of the concerns about your impulsive and reckless decision to not do a fair re-launch.

Edit: for those still reading here, devs have made some announcements that may justify the instant re-launch.  Whether they handle it properly remains to be seen, but please read on to that point before making up your mind on this launch
