sorry if I missed something but I am lookin for hours in the forum and can not find an answer about the fork thing. Correct me if I am wrong but maxcoin is forked and had a 51% attack as disscussed in here and maybe here . It seemed certain to me that, the "hash-powerful" pool operator attempted and succeeded on a double spend attack and messed up the block chain, killing the price etc.

1) Now that we have 2 maxchains, what on earth happened? did the network decide on one chain?
2) Does the large pool still have >50% hash power?
3) If there is currently only one blockchain, is it the one that the pool had unfair advantage/earnings or is the mess somehow cleared?
4) And maybe most importantly: is there an example of a cryptocurrency that survived 51% attack for comparison?

Max Kaiser tweeting about new web wallet while develeopers and max totally ignoring answers to these questions except max desperately denying the fork going on with promoting "how cheap it is" now bla bla. What on earth happening  Shocked  Seriously, anyone  Huh

note: If you are going to start "let this coin die bla bla", please don't, lots of it has happened, not the kind of answer I am looking for, as your wishes or emotions has nothing to do with the answers I seek, thx in advance, regards..

ah thx for the share bitcoinexpress. I follow ur posts. One (2) more question(s);

1) In general, how do we figure out total pool hash rate for any coin including bitcoin? Is there any way to do so accurately? I mean do we just believe whatever the pools announce, or is there a way to check it? Maybe on blockchain like how frequently the block is found by a certain client? Not sure if possible.

2) What is the poolhash rate distribution case now in maxcoin?

Lol.

The fork was just fake to give people the possibility to get the maxcoin down. Now it is cheap and we can load it.


@rojuwah take a look at http://max.cryptpool.eu/ for stats.
