They've recently had to fork the chain, because the difficulty calculations were broken, and it went far too high. Sadly, they've now broken it in the other direction, and the dev seems intent on ignoring this, and abusing or hand-waving the problems away.

Wrong.
The community voted to fork the chain to avoid denials from bigger exchanges as they would have to many support tickets from users asking why coins dont confirm.
Nothing was broken.

It's now running at an 8 second block time.

Wrong.
Some day it will run at 8 seconds block time. Not now. It slowly decreases to avoid forks.

So, After being asked to help out to fix the stuck difficulty, I jumped on their IRC channel and had a discussion with someone called 'Unattanium' who was opped in the channel mentioned on their website.

Wrong again.
Nobody asked you anything. You just happened to pop up, because a miner pointed his rental to this pool.
I told you to go away, since all you did was causing FUD.

Enter FUD:

* X-Rob (X-Rob@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-boeazzlbzlokrgfu) has joined #Unattainium
I won't be able to help as I paid almost 0.5 btc to mine for 2 days

Uh. So who's bright idea was it to set the block time to 8 seconds?

that's un-mineable
X-Rob what?

all it's going to do is cause massive, huge, orphan trees

Where is this guy coming from:

Quote

DoubleDD: Someone rented my rig, and pointed it at a pool with this coin, and I hadn't heard of it before

I have ~13TH availabel for rent

so I read the thread and went 'aah, you guys need some help', so I left my rig mining on this coin

Strange for a coin so bad as you make it appear:

Quote

I can spare a couple of hundred TH to free the chain up in a couple of hours

well

probably 140 or so TH

And suddenly his hundreds of Th drops down to 13..

Quote

I'm intrigued
awesome
what pool will you be mining?

DoubleDD_: Oh, I'll just solo
nice
yeah, i'm solo for 750 Petahash to
to bad i cant prove it
I've had 10TH on for last 24 hrs and got another 24 hrs on 10TH.
X-Rob: how much hash and for how long will you help out. trying to keep track of how it will affect diff

Bitspender_: Amusingly, I -can- prove it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=513500.0

DoubleDD_: I'll hash until the difficulty comes down to a reasonable rate
13Th is not 150Th

I didn't say it was all mine.

And on his way to getting kickbanned after FUDDING all night long:

Quote

Right. 100TH is all I've been able to scrounge up

best share 67M.

So the guy who has hundreds of Th, who discovered this awfull bad coin, has been solomining it all night, RENTING 90Th extra than what he owns, and still is mining when i check network hashrate.

If this coin is really that bad, why are you still solo mining it as we speak?
Already told you. Wrong coin, no panic sells here. And that's the only thing you try to accomplish.

Go home rob, your drunk.
