Not that I'm taking sides, but a pool 'owner' 'fixing' a block chain in the absence of the dev team then telling people to join your fork regardless of your intentions raised every security hair on my neck the other night.
Just like any healthy market this community needs people who have a contrarian view to things especially if they jeopardize the coins value or security.
Don't hate us embrace us!
I was here, the guys that normally take care of the coin code were not. It was very easy to see the changes made on github and i checked through them and had no issues with them. It wasn't like it happened without anyone about.
