Yep The PoS issue required a hardfork and fixed that issue.


I am looking at three possible solutions, the move to PoS only must happen or the current issue will become worse as the PoW reward halves again, just the timing is the question.  Raising PoW value really defeats the purpose of the PoS. a New algo is just wasting resources, IMO.

The current issue with PoW is multiple multipools hitting PHS at low difficulties resulting into orphans and in some cases forks. this can be remedied by users mining PHS on a constant basis. The argument to keep PoW sort of falls flat when we have very few actual miners (other then from multipools/high hashers).

The solution (not using a hardork) would be more users setting 24-7 PoW miners at

And setting up workers to only PHS.  Miners on PHS will benefit from PPLNS.

So I guess we can see if enough miners do this then we have a solution which will not require a hardfork now, but will likely be necessary before next halving (you may notice the issue began this halving).

I put cryptsy on hold in case we go with the hardfork, that way we don't have to set it weeks in advance. We can let miners mine PHS or not, if not it serves no purpose, I'm also tired of updating client daily, and want a long term solution, which is coded and at the end of testing.

short version:
Keep PoW? > Mine it
PoS Only? > Don't mine it
