I'm not exactly sure whet there was to talk about exactly,.
getting all of the pools in cooperation for one would have been one. in fact, someone did mention that very issue in the thread before the fork.
i mentioned above etblvu1 and vondi1222 were also discussing proactive strategies above. there was lots we could have talked about.
one big fucking sign we didn't have enough time was the discussions over block rewards, times, and general coin parameters UP TO FORK BLOCK. that should have been decided days before, and as some have pointed out, a handful of individuals did make up their minds for everyone. if we had talked a bit more, there would be less bitter taste in some people's mouths that this was a manipulation.
We were losing like 35% of network hash per day. PER DAY. Does you think catcoin would have survived another week at that rate?
if you put it that way^^^^, yes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#Paradoxes_of_MotionHindsight is 20-20 but you guys are delusional if you think that immediate action wasn't necessary....THE. FORK. WAS. YESTERDAY. CALM. DOWN.
so let me put it into context: you say that there's nothing to freak out about
because the fork was yesterday, and to calm down and not rush to judgement.
all i'm saying is the coin was
about a week old when the first fork was attempted, and for us to calm down and discuss it, and not rush to act.
we agree that we needed to calm down, but many of us wanted to have a calm discussion
BEFORE THE FORK, NOT AFTER.now, we all have to pick up the pieces of a clusterfuck.
