Quick note. You can enable and disable the checkpointing with enforcecheckpoint true and enforcecheckpoint false

./feathercoind enforcecheckpoint false
, this discussions over the attacks came up on the forum many times and this solution was discussed there. The general consensus was that ACP was the lesser of two evils, the other being simply leaving ourselves unprotected against attackers. This is not an easy call to make as Satoshi's original vision was one of complete decentralisation. However we should not regard his paper as some religious text with which to limit our abilities.
Also we have been talking about this solution for months now. You had your chance for a say but as you can imagine we never had these debates on BitcoinTalk as there are more people throwing stones than trying to be constructive. A vote was never taken, just general consensus. If you are really interested in how Feathercoin is being developed then please spend time on the Feathercoin forum. The feedback system is not some form of democratic system
Balthazar, thanks for sticking around even though not being a great fan of Feathercoin. We could always use someone with your ability over in the Feathercoin forum. We are a friendly lot and you would not to spend so much time shouting at people. I think that NVC is in a good position to disable checkpointing as you have PoS which will give you more and more protection over time. I do believe that crypto coin is going to be a revolution and not a quiet one either. Bitcoin should be looking to get some kind of protection not less. People are ignoring the issue of attacks on Bitcoin because they cannot imagine such a thing and let's hope it never happens, however people should not be complacent on the issue of attacks.
atomicchoas, Feathercoin still loves you
