We don't have to worry about a 51% attack no matter what our marketcap is (as opposed to auroracoin which just died because of one)
Um, Auroracoin didn't die. The dev supposedly claims that there wasn't a 51% attack, either. I didn't verify that part, but I did verify that it's trading like normal, so it's obviously not dead. (I don't know why someone would want to hold that coin, but that's another matter.)
I'm just going by the btctalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=546338.0Yes, that is what I assumed. You shouldn't believe everything that you read around here, though
(*).
The exchanges aren't worried and the coin is trading like normal after a brief scare. (The long-term trend is still down.)
https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/160https://www.mintpal.com/market/AUR/BTCThis (in the thread that you referenced) reveals what happened:
I have fixed my block crawler and it is syncing to the correct chain. My wallets are kept neutral from the exchange wallets on purpose and I failed to update in time. I am currently out of town and failed to update before I left. It should be fully synced in a few minutes
Cryptsy was updated in time. There is nothing to worry about

Sorry about that....
Note that mullick@cryptsy was talking about the block crawler that Cryptsy links to. It
has this at the bottom:

~BCX~ saw the problem and tried to stir up trouble just for LOLs or because he hates Auroracoin or whatever reason....
(*) But I really do have a great coin. You should invest! Don't worry, the premine is for, um, promotional expenses. Yes, that's the ticket! Really!
