Can you please clarify what is so special about bitcoin specs that you think CAT should keep the block times? People on this thread have some deluded emotional daydream about bitcoin. CAT is not BTC. BTC was the first of its kind and the only one to truely receive mainstream popularity. CAT has to compete with all the other altcoins and therefore needs to face the reality that people WILL move to the most profitable coin. Your idea does not solve anything. People will STILL move to the most valuable coin. In fact, what you are doing is further disincentivizing people from returning to CAT to mine.
CAT is BTC in scrypt. It serves the REAL WORLD pace of transactions and money valuation.
ADHD altcoins can't do that.
You are underestimating what's possible as far as getting miners into the currency. Scrypt cloud mining is about to become a reality.
You're arguing that people don't want to drive snowshovel trucks and semis. People who want to make a living on the vast potential of the winter season or transporting goods DO IN FACT want to drive snow trucks and semis.
