Dear community!
We found a splitting of the blockchain. At the moment the BSOD.pw pool is running on an alternative chain.
We recommend temporarily transferring your hashrate to the official pool http://pool.ethereumfuture.net/
At the moment, we are working to improve the situation. Updated wallets will be available soon

This makes no sense. bsod is the longest chain and the chain with most work. you can't just decide which chain is correct based on a whim. There are rules in place for cases like this. if you happen to chose your pool's chain as the official one, which had 0 miners for a week over bsod that had most of the network you will not like the results

The LONGEST chain is the CORRECT chain, there is no other way around it, you can make how many excuses you like. If your network is unstable and your nodes are weak, it's not pool fault. If you don't know how to fix the problem (which happens not for the first time already) all you had to do is ask. You can't just rollback and choose the chain when you see fit

ETHF developer apparently wants to rollback the chain to the "official" pool which had 0-2 miners last week and is behind ~500 blocks from the longest chain which BSOD is on. This is against every rule in the blockchain crypto book as far as we see it. The chain we're on has had 90% of the hash (not only from BSOD pool) before the fork. If you have something to say about that, please do so on the ETHF Discord: https://discord.gg/VemhhcG
