15 second blocks?

OMG, Seriously, people are just randomly changing numbers without knowing WHY those numbers should be what they are.

15 seconds isn't going to be enough for blocks to get from one side of the network to the other. A couple of miners are going to modify their clients to ignore other chains, and just mine everything themselves. With blocks only 15 seconds apart, it's going to be almost impossible to avoid multiple, simultaneous, attacks on the coin.

Your assuming this is meant as a long term coin.

Can somebody explain why this wouldn't be viable long term? How can you just ignore a chain?

In the beginning of a coin the difficulty is very low and there are not many nodes on the network. If you run a few nodes that always agree on each other and you have some hashing power behind those you could easily extend the blockchain while others are fighting with orphans.

This only works while you can find blocks in seconds and other chains are not extending faster than your nodes chain

still confused, don't all the blocks go through the nodes?
