Perhaps it would be worth it as a call to AltQuick.com to delist that pair. Tongue

The loss would be passed along to the customers as per the FAQ and the warnings plastered all over the trading pages.

We are attacked daily too btw.  It is no secret that weirdos want to disrupt our little free market.  Plus, exchanges are a pretty prime target for fuckery on all levels... from state actors/rogue nations to mouth breathers in their 80 yr old mothers basement drinking mouthwash.

If Testnet is worth nothing, then vote with your feet and assist it to zero.  Very simple, but most people that think it is valueless are not willing to put their money were their mouth is and exchange the "worthless" testnet for gods gift Bitcoin... it is rather strange.

You would hurt holders by not holding, it seems brutally clear to me.  The issue is Developers with >10,000 coins are crying about people

The good part of it is that it hurts the functionality of testnet marketplaces

This is not true.  The blockstorms *HELPED* the Testnet marketplace and users.

If you want to drown me in support tickets and make my life shitty, make it where the third worlders don't get confirmations on their transactions like in Testnet v4.  Making stuff confirm really fast is like "Thank you!"

Drying out the v3 Testnet reward also helped the market's scarcity.

It drove up the demand for our free testnet faucet, other faucets that depended on mining to serve their customer went out of business in a week, and that led to more trading activity as well.




Just because someone has 51% doesn't mean they are going to attack it.  I've cross that point quietly without anyone noticing way more than once.  Cryptocurrency isn't actually about security, it's about mostly about the illusion of security (until it isn't lol Tongue).  If you have 75% of the network, split it up into 3, so it appears three entities have 25% each... and everyone is soooo thrilled by how decentralized it is!!!!! Omg it's gods gift to man because it's so fukin decentralized.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
