THERE IS NO FUCKING POINT to mine a currency that is to be FORKED in a day!

Bullshit. You just mine. And they confirm. Simple.

lol didn't you just say

the coins are not confirming. i have 10 coins mined and unconfirmed for several days.

After the fork it will be faster.

however, what motivates a miner to mine right now when they know the difficulty will drop the next day? why not mine something profitable today? by stating you'll drop the difficulty to bring miners back, in effect signals to the mining community they're losing money if they do ANY more pre-fork mining.
self-fulfilling prophecy!

It doesn't SIGNAL anyTHING. The miners let the POOL decide for them. Most twitch miners aren't watching the blinkenlites. They are out skiing in the snow. They are not babysitting their mining.
