Whats the matter right now?

I don't understand why people want to change the code again? Its pretty "normal", that this coin is rare, this is a GOOD thing.
It produces fear, when the chain is forked again, especially when people could loose coins wtf. I don't want to loose any coins, and I don't see a necessarity in a code change, could someone explain to me please?

I agree, you are taking a gamble here. Not many people check forums like this every day to see if they are running everything properly. The coin is already on markets, and it simply needs to get stable. If this is another major code change, it needs to be the last.

The changes being discussed are necessary in order to protect the coin from two major threats: MultiPools (since you can predict the reward of the next block and choose not to mine it, and let someone else do it if it's zero), and a new type of 51% attack that lets you force the reward of the next block to be either zero or one CGA coin. This isn't a matter of if it will happen, it's a matter of when it will happen. Believe me, we had no intention of making any changes to the coin after we had fixed the constant forking problem. Updates take a lot of work to coordinate with exchanges, pools, miners, and regular wallet users, plus we have to make sure we compile all the new binaries and test them before they're released, and fix any bugs that come up later (meaning more testing and more compiling binaries)! Like I said earlier in this thread, we could simply leave the coin as-is and not make any changes, but we're going to be absolutely screwed once people succeed in a 51% attack or point a multipool at us.

Painful but gotta be done...
