But something should be done. While we a talking bot owners are mining. I am not very satisfied with the fact that we discussing the ways how to save the coin while bots are mining. It appears that we are now working to protect their wealth. This is not a normal situation.

Ironically, I very much agree!! This is why I'm pressing our friend Bill to at least communicate to us their intents. We at least need an immediate resolution to the difficulty-warp attack. Multiple approaches to mitigation of this vector have been proposed, discussed, and even mostly agreed upon. (Does anyone still *not* think that we should constrain timestamp and return to a traditional difficulty retarget with an upward pressure to ensure blocks can eventually be mined? (regardless of the timestamp bias arguments...)) Why we're sitting here arguing over my "N-heads" patch instead of rushing out a hotfix and hard fork for what is unquestionably the greatest risk to this coin is beyond me.

I just ran some quick numbers on what it would cost me, in terms of both time and energy spend, to fork the network back to block 1. You don't even want to know the results. Suffice to say that this is a critical issue and everything else should come second to it!
