The way I see it, the die hard ETC supporters have a coin going simply because they lost the vote. A few hurting the majority simply because they didn't get their way.
check this discussion out. blckeagls has a good understanding of how to carry this attack out.
I'm not necessarily advocating for a 51% attack, but as far as I'm concerned, it's absolutely fair game considering how that small minority has behaved both in their defense of TheDAO exploiter pre-hard fork under the guise of 'code is law' and post-hard fork by continuing to directly support the thief.
For them to whine and cry about the possibility of such an event seems quite ironic and hypocritical. I mean their blockchain is out there in the wild for anyone and everybody to participate in. If a group of people chooses to go and start mining that chain and some prior block in order to rewrite subsequent blocks, and the applications, tools, and programs that facilitate such activity due to the way their code was written, then should that code and its use in that way not be considered 'law' as well?
@MrYukonC good summary.
pool is ready to go
