whats the benefit of attacking pools? this is helpful to anyone??
The only "benefit" I can think of is when the difficulty retargets it may go a little lower since the DDoS wastes the hashrate of the pool for a brief time, lowering the average block time in that period.
Also, it benefits any other coin by killing off weak competition. Not gonna lie, this one's looking pretty weak right now. I'm getting a little worried about holding it honestly.
No interest, no marketing, no news, no pools, not easy to mine. . .there's really not a lot of hooks into this right now other than having an awesome PoW concept.
And don't go and quote me the idiotically large buy order on Poloniex. Check out the depth below it, like 2000 coins will take this turd-train back to sub .0003 levels. One, maybe two people with about 18 bitcoins are interested in this coin and that's about it.
Someone reassure me!
