I'll be looking at ways to solve [51% attack] going forward, even though I think the current situation will resolve itself soon.

1. Merged mining.
2. Merged mining.
3. Alert user if nethash drops by c. 50%... oops! this happened already.  See #1.
4. Merged mining.
5. Tighten timestamp accuracy requirement.  Make miners run ntpd.
6. Design a new getwork/pool protocol that gives clients/members control of policy.
7. Alert user if a reorg with many hidden or old blocks occurs.

Pardon me if SC already does any of these.
