lol ya especially after they switched back to ASIC mining to appease them and others.... guess it didn't work out so good.

Actually it seems to work out way better as the GPU debacle than back.
At least the coin is 51% attack secure. Actually one of the very view ones that can no longer be 51% attacked.
That alone is a huge success and only a handfull coins/projects including ETN is at least safe from nicehash 51% attacks.
