We've gotten 4 orphans so far, if we get 2 more I'm going to take FTC off the multiport.
I read on the feathercoin forum that they were under the impression that you pointed the multiport to FTC to help them counter the 51 attack.
Although it was an automatic switch, it could be a good idea.
Why not offer altcoin developers the possibility to manually point the multiport to their coin when they are 51 attacked?
Obviously they have to compensate you/us for that so we make at least what we would on another coin, but they have big pots of pre-mined coins anyway that they could use for that. It might be a win-win situation.
I like this idea, it's similar to something I read in a fictional story in Bitcoin Magazine a few months ago. Basically in the future there will be companies that insure against double spends, and they contract with emergency hashing providers that will mine for them on demand in case of double spends.
