Tagcoin fork? Will those shares ever mature?
Yeah Botpool and some other pools went off on their own fork for a while. Even though their "wrong" fork had a higher diff, indicating the highest hashpower they all eventually reverted back to the other fork. I was mining on Botpool with my wallet on the correct fork for a while before I realized what was goin on.

Even as a small time miner and speculator, I've noticed my techniques that worked for me last month do not work this month. The algo might need to be redesigned for profitability to surpass Litecoin comfortably. There is no point in doing what everyone else does, that just evens out the playing field.
Just 2c.
