I thought it was dying. What is with the growth, is it a pump or is there a legit reason for the rise? Thanks in advance.

FTC is broken. You can't mine it. I was on Big Verns pool and all his blocks are orphaned. It shows he has 90% of the network as well.

Yeah - something seems wrong with FTC - I did a transfer from one wallet to another and it took many hours to go through..

someone probably built their own block chain and mined it. since it is longer they used a ton of hashing power when the network hashing power was low and replaced the original block chain. The result is a ton of orphans as all the good transactions were wiped out. Now the new fake chain is in place someone who injected it has a ton of coins to sell into the market.

That should be fun for all the btc-e pumpers..

So does that mean FTC is broken / finished - or can they fix things from here?

It is working as it was designed, the majority rules. Therefore since nothing is broken, nothing can be "fixed". (except releasing a fork or such, but then a new 51% attack could occur)

They can try to replace the fake chain and that will orphan all FTC transactions from the point they fix the chain until the present. That will probably require distributing the chain to dedicated miners and making it long enough that it beats out the current chain. But that means they will wipe out legitimate as well as fake transactions a second time. Basically the chain is hijacked and the coin is now worthless. Someone is making a killing on the fake chain

That is why people had such a hard time getting confirmations and then all of a sudden several blocks appeared in seconds. What that means is that anyone can come in and add their own blocks claiming all the rewards. those are fake blocks so they will supersede real transactions so those transactions will be lost. the majority of real miners will drop out because they don't want to risk getting all their rewards orphaned. so the only miner will be the fake miner and a bunch of idiots who don't know better.

And FTC is still trading on the exchanges with this news? The exchanges haven't halted trading yet?
