Interesting. So the people who mine it are the ones who lost all their BTC on Gox. They basically feel cheated and are going to start their own version of BTC like Gox never happened.
Hey I know can we fork the BTC chain back to November 3rd 2012 so that I can get back the 10,000 bitcoins I sold for $3. I want it back because I made a mistake selling it as I did not realize that Bitcoin would be $1200 each in 2014. So can someone make a new block chain for me. I''ll send you 100 of those BTC at $1200 each that an easy $120,000 for the service. :p:p:p
Ouch man, I feel for your pain. I think the November 3rd rewind is gaining traction, so I think I could support+mine that. Plus the difficulty would at least be initially pretty low until someone with more asic power took over.
The idea is to go back far enough so that the damage caused by gox is nil. Now who do we know that can easily fork this?
