Amazing, after a long silence the Dev's announce the plan, and the price of AIR is falling (against BTC which is also falling against the $).

Sorry but there is no reason with such a small number of miners left not to just hard fork this with minor updates.  But that would take the dev's getting involved and communicating to have everyone on board. 

Really with around 10K AIR being enough to totally floor the price of this and the dev's holding an estimated 2.5M AIR from the premine you need a lot of trust in these silent people to stick with this coin.
