It is bullshit to attack PoW coin with timewrap. Only some PoS coins can be attacked for purpose get more PoS rate for himself.
In PoW used cumulative difficulty, and win chain with 30 blocks with Diff 100, than 59 blocks with diff 50.

I agree that manipulating blocks is BS. I agree this isn't a traditional time warp. Yes, we're aware of how chains are scored. As I keep saying - this is simply some idiot exploiting a hole that's been in POW coins since BTC hit the streets in order to take block rewards and manipulate the difficulty. We've known about the possibility of this for years. We also know that POW coins live or die on hash rate, that's why we're so happy to see more miners on the network.

Calling smart people idiots doesn't really help create a productive culture.

If you want to call whomever is doing it disruptive, then maybe that's fair.

How's it sound if you say "When we removed the 30 second minimum block time, we re-introduced a design problem in the original Satoshi bitcoin that is now being exploited to create alternating long-blocks and short-block periods on bitcoin cash. Our short-term fix has been to re-introduce a 1 second minimum block time, but it should probably be something more like 2-5 minutes minimum between blocks"

If any of you would like to discuss how to further upgrade Catcoin's original minimum block time prototype and fix the problems it created with mining, we might have a solution that would get used by a 'major' coin, and this could be quite profitable for all of us. I prefer open forums, and I'd be happy to discuss more on the unmoderated thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1135534.40
