I read on mersenneforum that some off the members there dislikes crypto very much. It did not matter to them that they did not understand the concept. That means that we can't expect them to respect the boundaries of this coin. They are not happy over how ETH have made a shortage of graphic cards and they fear that a new token also will make a shortage of hard drives. So we could also exppect a targeting of this area.
THE good news is that it takes time to find all records in this area and their metod finds records faster but not all off them.
There have been a lack of upgrades of the miners and if we can make them better so we find more records maybe they don't find it so interesting to target this range anymore. There are still a lot of records to be found.
