Just a thought, as I'm no programmer.....

This coin was meant to be designed for kids / newcomers - and everyone with a bit of power has punished this - there's no way to stop them.

So, my question is, is it possible to:

A) set up a wallet (if solo mining) that has a MAXIMUM hash rate that will be accepted (lets say 150kh/s) - the rest is essentially useless
B) any pool participating, has a similar setup, where any overflow of hash over 150kh/s, is directed to a 2nd backup coin

I know that option B could be circumvented by multi-signups, but lets face it, most people won't be bothered to set up multi-accounts, and the fact that anyone with a decent rig won't even mine this because of the restriction, give's it the credibility that the OP was looking for.

Maybe something like this already exists (although I've not seen it out there) - maybe it's not easy to co-ordinate, but I'd be interested in anyone's views on this.
