I just found that and want to explain to you all what happend that night (german time).

1. Catcoinforums did sticky our pool thread, as we promised to reduce the confirmations to 60 on our own risk. This was a "reward" from the catcoinforum communitys admin for our work and move to help the coin.

2. The Admin of Catcoinpools contacted my via PM if its ok when he send a email to all his forum members, to help working on the needed blocks till hardfork is coming, so they use poolerino, as we had a low hashrate at this time.

3. In no way I thought about so many miners coming to poolerino.com in such short time. Plus the fact it was in the evening (11pm german time) when we from poolerino were having a short break with our families, was the reason we didnt reacted in the matter of time we should.

At no point we wanted to harm the coin, hostile takeover or whatever. We showed that to everybody as we took the server down right after we got informed what happend here via PM and went to IRC to talk to the other pool owners.

4. The advertisement for our pool in the email to 500 forum members was in fact too much for us and also a the trigger for the problem, as only one pool was mentioned in the mail. Human error, I dont think the owner of catcoinforums wanted it to be it that way.

5. Im have in no means something going on under the table with catcoinforum, but I do respect the work and affort they do for the coin.
