It would be a real shame to see MEGA coin die. From the beginning it looked like a winner, and has some of the best development and features seen in any crypto coin. I expected to see a jump in difficulty after block 42k, but this is nuts. Nearly a week of wasted time,  money, and hashing power so far. I have a couple buddies over on mega.minepool.net trying to keep MEGA alive. Between us we found 21 blocks in 4 days, and confirmed none. I think we need to hear something soon, or I need to advise them to move on and cut their losses. Thanks for all the info that was provided here, and to everyone that tried to keep this coin going.
