We may have a 51% attack attempt on DGC today...this could get interesting.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236498.0

while the dev may be confident in the coin being able to withstand this, as a pool op who has supported this coin since launch, donated > 650DGC from pool donations, and will undoubtedly be ddos'd into oblivion as part of any attack, I must say I'm not too thrilled with DGC right now, nor the recklessness of those comments.  Be confident, fine, but don't throw the entire pool infrastructure running to support your coin into the line of fire for no good reason.    Angry

there is a good reason.  if the network is strong enough and people are committed to DGC then people will invest in it appropriately.  I would recommend putting some of your DGC earnings into DDOS protection.  Well as long as you think the coin is worth it.
