I'm pretty sure BEN is a lost cause now Unfortunately, I am a Holder as well

Mined block confirmations are taking days, weeks, months you can't even send BEN quickly anymore it's like 3 days - 1 week for a transaction

I got to admit, the Security is good for the above reasons, like a Titanium Door behind another Titanium door and so on.
KGW will kill the Coin, Short block time will also ruin the coin for it being a Sha-256 Cryptocurrency, But a 10 minute blocktime which in reality is 10Hours+ to solve a block is pretty Harsh as well as the insane Difficulty considering not many People mine anymore except a few, its hard to keep things running smoothly.
Bounties & BTC have been offered to Fork & or Merge Mine BENjamins but there are no takers, even people mucking around with the source are having troubles with it.
I really don't know what to say other than BEN is a Diamond in the Dirt !
