reward not just x2, it's x10 from 5 coins to 50 coins. that's not fair for earlier miner

If you're an early miner and didn't lost any coin after block 1610, than all i can say is that you gave up the coin to soon

If, however, you lost coins between blocks 1611 and 2900, then you should be happy that pool ops are doing anything they can to still payout something from the wrong blockchain

Just mine now and make up for your losses, because VC will get back to 5 coins reward per block - what will you say then, if you already think it's "unfair" now?

One must keep a close watch on the coin, not just carelessly mine - that's the only way to be on the loop and deal with problems immediately.
Come back more often, will'ya ?
