I've have to wonder if we've reached the point where there *needs* to be more than one developer on this project.

@artos, it's obvious you still have shit going on in your life that keeps you from addressing issues with this coin. We're now into the third day of a situation where the difficulty is pegged... and will only rise. Your response: it's being monitored. There is nothing to monitor. We need a fix. It's a simple fix. It's a fix that's been posted here. It's a fix that's been committed via GitHub... it's a matter of merging code. It simply couldn't be any easier.

There are a lot of us that have a great deal of money invested in SBC and we're left thinking 'am I an idiot for thinking this guy will stick with the project... after having abandoned it already?'

Dude, what the hell can we do to help? This thing is dying here and YOU are responsible.

Had I merged your code, the blockchain would have been forked instantly, 1800 blocks in the past. Does that sound like an acceptable solution? The actual fix is an extremely simple one, and has been ready for days. I've been monitoring block generation trends so that I could set a reasonable point for the next fork to occur at. Hardforks are a delicate art, and screwing this part up would surely be the final nail in the coffin. Why are you all suggesting that we rush into it? Is 3 days of low mining rewards worth jeopardizing the coin over? I've gathered enough data, and the fork will occur at block 317,000.

Chill, artos, it's not about you, it's about the coin. Had you communicated this information, you would not have had the sort of reaction you see here. You say the fix has been ready for days, but you didn't inform us.

We need timely information, especially when things aren't going as expected. We all want this coin to succeed. We all have a vested interest in it succeeding, but when we don't hear anything for a couple of days, it leads to folks asking serious questions.

AS I said before. By choosing to create this coin and push it's development, you have taken on the additional burden of communicating with your base. Perhaps cobrabyte is correct, and you need some assistance in running the coin (preferably someone with plenty of knowledge and expertise. It appears there are some in this community with the knowledge to help.

Please give it some thought.

And thanks for the update.
