That was mining farm attack
Is back at normal at arround 5 now.
Mpools will not hang out to kill us off as much, as they dump at lowest bid. (autodump)
Farms will if they want coins, as you will need powerful rigs to get coins now, still very low diff.
Doge was around 1000+ diff last time I looked, slows down the strip mining. But cannot stop it all.
KGW is protecting us somewhat, without it we would have lost much more.
Coin is still liked, and not considered a scam coin, as devs have attempted to slow the strip mining, thus being unpopular with hydraulic mining equipment users
I think a version update on wallet is needed now, some are using RPC and the SSL up to version f is hackable.
wallet needs to be recompiled with "G" version or better when they can.
I have NO idea how much work it is.
