Someone is dumping a lot of sexcoins right now, and I'm buying Shocked

It seems someone is exploiting vulnerability found with KGW to mine as much as 10 blocks per minute (instead of just 1) without mining difficulty
increasing enough to compensate for such instamining. Just check blockrate at http://sxcexplorer.com/chain/Sexcoin to see it yourself. SXC difficulty
adjusts waaaaaaaaaaaay too fucking slowly! Attacker is someone with major hashpower, at least 5 times higher hashrate than rest of miners. Mined
coins are auto-sold at Cryptsy, in bursts.

I saw what he is doing and decided to enter the market for around 0.25 BTC total at 0.00000450 but until difficulty retargeting is fixed to react much
faster I won't be buying any more SXC. Instead, I'll put buy orders at 0.00000100 or less and wait.

we are aware of the kgw timewarp attack, the fix is another hardfork, but we are already waiting on the magic hardfork. I was hoping this would not prove to be a problem but ...

well, we can fix it just as aurora coin did here:

here is the "i'm going to hack your coin to prove you need to fix it" msg posted to aurora coin thread
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504103.msg5550654#msg5550654

so, take advantage of it while you can, if you can. I predict we will be fixing it sooner than later now that you've pointed out it's being exploited
