Mined 2 coins who's chains both split and miners lost out

[Digital Drug Lord]

I didn't lose out but I'm wondering how secure is their Network if this can happen?

Dems da breaks of mining shitcoins with a low network hash rate and questionable 'Devs'.

So it's the devs fault?

[Vann]

Not necessarily. A low network hash rate means it's easy to do a 51% attack on the chain and fork off. No dev can prevent that, but a good project will have lots of hash power, making forking the chain much harder. Sometimes it's caused by bugs in the wallet, which a good dev team can prevent.

Are there any algos that can survive a %51 attack if the coin has a low has rate?

no can do
pos and other consensus can provide a better solution for this attack but even they are susceptible
