A pool ran dead on 300 blocks on worldcoin.. is that a first for any crypto?

God must be hating on WDC then, lol.

I don't hold any WDC but then again I don't support any system which is fundamentally flawed.

That's just inadiquate pool setup, other WDC pools didn't.

You do realize that chain splits are, happening somwhere at some point for all coins don't you? If you want to trumpet like a Luddite that the future of crypto coins is in impracticality long transaction times for retail merchants, go right ahead. I would like to see you accept BTC at a fast food drive through and have the customer wait for confirmation! 15sec is tolerable for most busy retail, that often how long a EFTPOS transaction takes. If client code needs modifyiing to increase resistance to chain splits, off you go, it's open source.

When chains are split is more from like 1 orphan.

Not 300 in a row.
