TAG seems to be sorting itself out but I will try to spread the message to spread the hash power. If it means creating a few pools as joint ventures with others then I can do that as well. I cannot demand that Botpool, or any pool for that matter, refuse new miners..:-) I can only ask them to throttle back...
As for which chain anyone should be on, I suggest going with the block explorer at explorer.tagcoin.org, which should always have the highest block...
The highest block isn't always the fork with the highest or lowest or good or evil hash, it's just pure chance.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
No need for a 51% attack here, just mine your own fork until it gets to a point where it overtakes everyone else, defaulting everything to your new high block fork. Or is this where POS comes in and saves the day? Am I missing something?
