>>> I still say the problem would be addressed if there was a minimum block reward threshold of zero, that is triggered by input of minimum block reward due to hashrate.  I.e. if block reward of a pool falls below 10 XMG, for example, then block reward drops to zero until hash returns to reasonable levels, meanwhile any hackers doing a DDOS attempt on the pool should be IP logged and arrested if within a country that has laws against DDOS in a harmful manner to a server not owned by the hacker. 

>> returns to reasonable levels,

What is reasonable? Any constant in net algorithm work until not a lot people interested in this.
Forget for a second about botnets and hackers..    
For example, now algo limited by  20Mh/s  and it is work, coins become more popular, and now we have 40Mh/s fair solo miners.. And then what?  Admins decide change 20 to 40?  
And where this decentralisation? If only one man can easily decide change revenue for everyone.
Such manual manipulations is path to drop price or delist coin from markets.


>>DDOS attempt
What are you speak about, we didn`t speak about ddos or other hack attack..   For example, I or someone else  have  10000 remote devices, each is not strong enough (50-100Kh/s for example) and have different IP.
I can do attack do coin reward, I push required power to make revenue near zero and then wait until others stop mining..  then I start optimal power and get most of coins, until others not back.
And when they back - I start  from begining.  
It will work not because I doctor-evil and want to beat all this beautiful community... no...  just because it can be profitable, more profitable than other coins.

I'd agree to a certain extent.

this is a bad idea and not a good idea 

i've said it before... people are selfish. nobody will drop their own hashrate for ur cause unless the zero block only applies to themselves.

i agree with oxothuk:

He does seem to have a good idea:

if you remove the reward limit it will be just like other coins .....why do tht just mine something else . am i the only one who understands the dynamic here .... price goes up hash goes up reward dwindles .... dump avoided .... seriously . why would you remove this innovation

Finally it worked. I had to import the private key and it showed the balance not all I remember I had, but any way I am glad to see the project I followed years ago, come back to life.

I know putting FLAPPS into an exchange is very important. I thank whoever is working on it.

BUT,

is not it better to see the future of the currency first? POW like so far? POS? what return?

If we put the coin on the market now, everyone will dump ...

What are the reasons to keep it? what use?

If the POS is at least foreseen, and good, then small investors can buy it and put it off the market in their wallets. This will certainly increase demand rather than supply ....

What I'm going to suggest now may be pure madness: Why not put the POS with a variable rate?

Deria crazy if I could have a week a return of 0.5% and the week after, 10%, by sheer luck

Or in increments for those who keep more time ...:

1 week in the wallet = 0.5%
2 consecutive weeks in the wallet = 1%
3 consecutive weeks in the wallet = 1.5%

They are only ideas and examples of values, I did not do the mathematics of inflations, etc ...

Hanzou was the one who got it to where it worked so he deserves the reward. uBm did a lot of touch up as well though.

i remember there was a a workaround for rented miners, i think it was kinda like a proxy stratum which offers stratum+tcp to the miner
and connects to the pool with http - cant remember which one that was ... at least you where able to set a static diff rather then the one from the p2pool
