Sure, I don't think anyone is disputing that anyway.


That portion of the problem does seem to be significantly less of an issue now.  The bot did push the anti-warp up briefly, testing the impact on his mining.  He obviously must not have liked what happened, since he backed off again.  I think this means implies that the system is working.

The real problem at this point, though, is that the network is still under a sort of continuous 51% attack.  At any moment the bot operator could decide to double spend, DoS the network, etc.  Getchains output and debug logging from various nodes indicates that he has never done anything of the sort, but this doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't suddenly decide to do so for some reason.


I don't think it even needs to be 100% solved.  I just think we need "much less of a looming unknown than we have currently."  A simple solution to this would be to somehow get miners to mine.  If we had many humans mining at any given moment through the day the big problem of the moment should simply resolve by itself.

MOTO NEEDS MANY MORE MINERS!

Considering how it is both fun and profitable to mine it (the exact opposite of most coins, IMO.  Even HUC is only fun and not very profitable!) it is surprising that we still face this situation several weeks in.

Any suggestions?

We need to start some kind of promotional campaign. Those who hold large amounts of moto can offer reward for this. Psychocoin already started to do things like this, he started a twitter account, made new subreddit, I was paying him from premine, but then bots gone crazy, price dropped etc. We can also do giveaway.
