QUESTION FOR EVERYONE...
Some have asked me if we can lower the starting block from 26850 to something closer to where we are. It's a valid concern and we originally wanted to start at block 27000.
Nevertheless, we just dropped the source and have people updating their clients, etc. Would it make sense to everyone to lower this to block 26815 or so in order to start the Kimoto Gravity Well sooner?
We need to give everyone the opportunity to update their code and there are still a few pool operators that have not confirmed that they've upgraded.
Thoughts?
MoonCoin is in terrible shape at this difficulty and loyal miners are mining almost for free right now. 26825 would be much better and still give everyone enough time to upgrade I think. People will switch to the much faster fork as soon as they can. There will always be those who will complain to have mined on the wrong fork later, but really, if you haven't gotten round to realizing something with Moon is fishy until then, it's your own fault to mine on the wrong fork and lose some mooncoins. Then again, you can't claim to have lost many at diff 350 cough cough. So, the sooner the better as we have to pay for power on our rigs, too.
