I'm a little bit out this day, but I would like to clarify one thing: it's true that BC developer found the attack, and it's true that they illustrated it to the community as a whole.

Did it influence Mintcoin? Yes.

Will it influence every hybrid PoS/PoW coin with low PoW difficulty? Of course.

Did we lost the price cap we hardly earned the past week? Sure.

None of this is a reason to bash BC community. It would make us look weak and focused not on our coin&project, but on the envy on others.



I don't know shit about economy. I'm an engineer. But if we try to use our brains, and look at a future were cryptocurrencies are used in the real ordinary world, we could easily have a world were different cryptocoins (and this is without distinguish BTC from every other alt) are used for different type of goods and markets.

I think both blackcoin and mintcoin have a bright future, IF
- the respective devs don't screw up
- the community stay focused
- something really important doesn't happen (BTC related, but that's not the place to discuss the matter).

Something bad happened, a flaw was discovered, and could have been really worse. Now we have two possible way: think about a "conspiracy" (and drag ourself and mint in the mud), or show that cryptoworld maybe is made not only by whales, kidswhowanttogetrichfast and so on, but also of people who are capable to cooperate even with projects that seems concurrent, like blackcoin and mintcoin.
