There was some discussion recently about SolidCoin having a "dim programmer" with about 100% of the network mining power. CoinHunter is aware of it and seems to be hiding the fact this 100% threat exists to SolidCoin.

It is possible this dim programmer already done multiple 100% attacks as they seem to be continually stopping their medication and "doing something else for an hour or so" before resuming. Hopefully someone is monitoring the source-code changes which have been occurring and determining if anyone is actually losing Bitcoins on the exchanges.
Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

How can someone have 100% of the network, if there are multiple miners out there?  Huh This makes no sense...

probably has somethingn to do with the fact that it's centralized and not decentralized...

I suspect this is a poorly crafted joke where "dim programmer" is supposed to be CoinHunter.  That appears to be a simple fit to the OP.

haha, sorry I'm so serious all the time.  Sarcasm is tough to pickup on through written/typed text!
