Title: Round of Applause - Crisis Management Post by: eleuthria on March 12, 2013, 08:37:20 AM It's not everyday we see sanity in these forums. During the hard fork crisis, most pool threads were kept very clean. We did not see a mass panic that bumped off the important announcements or vital information being posted by pool operators.
We also saw many miners actively look for pools that were either moving back to 0.7, or ones that had never made the switch to 0.8 at all. It felt great to see miners taking this matter into their own hands, and showing that even though pools are centralized, miners will still take responsibility and seek out a different pool during a crisis where they aren't sure what their own pool's status is. Thank you all for keeping your cool (as much as possible) during this eventful day. EDIT: I didn't include this in the original post because at the time I was mostly referring specifically to this subforum. But another round of applause to the developers. While it was immediately clear what the reaction to this event should be (especially with a super-majority on the forked chain), the #bitcoin-dev channel was quick to come to a concensus about what the proper action should be.

It's great to see how quick and good you guys can work together if needed. Title: Re: Round of Applause - Crisis Management Post by: 2weiX on March 12, 2013, 08:48:25 AM +1
Title: Re: Round of Applause - Crisis Management Post by: DrG on March 12, 2013, 09:10:18 AM Agreed, good job to all the pool ops for managing the crysis.
This proves that mining is still in it's infancy - you can have these shiny new little ASICs mining away in the corner and if you don't pay attention fork happens :o ;D WHAT THE FORK! :P Title: Re: Round of Applause - Crisis Management Post by: drawingthesun on March 12, 2013, 09:14:58 AM +1

The mining community seems to be maturing. Title: Re: Round of Applause - Crisis Management Post by: slush on March 12, 2013, 03:32:00 PM I think today's issue approved that we're able to fix problems when it is really necessary. That's definitely a good sign for Bitcoin project.
