We have to tell then, that this multipool was throwing 50 Ghash at the network at last Hardfork, so we could not get through the blocks. I can tell you all we could bite out tongues for not shouting like maniacs.
Instead we took the quiet way and this hard-fork is the result. No multipool is going to tell us what to do ever again.
Now the team can focus on the real deal and move on with the dev.
Thanks guys for your patience, it has been a struggle.
^ This. That said, my vote was not one in favor of quite such a drastic drop, but more of a gradual reduction. That said, I am only one person, and just because I'm the guy that writes the code does not put me in charge of the decisions that are made. That responsibility lies with the community, and the community voted for a drastic reward reduction. This type of community-governed change is exactly why I support LTCD and will continue to implement features, updates, fixes, and complete the work laid out in the roadmap without question or hesitation.
My opinion is that this is what open source is all about. I will continue to deliver the changes requested by the community to the best of my ability.
i hope you don't blame us too much for complaining/wanting (about) features all the time while you were clearly working hard on this
