These parties wouldn't generally consider themselves attackers— nor would many users (presumably everyone who mines on ghash.io, for example)— rather they'd they may consider someone using hashpower voting to reassign coins to be an attacker, and reassigning their coins instead to be a morally justified and pragmatic response. I think we're capable here of discussing the specifics without needing to use generalizations which invite definitional arguments... I don't think that bombastic language like doomed helps the dialog. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
