That is an interesting take on this problem. I was thinking we had bugs planted in the attack maybe. But your thought makes good sense. If they wanted to give up this piece of it - letting it degrade is a good strategy (for "them").
It looks like I will be sucking it up and moving to busy myself. This makes no sense to me that I would post elsewhere, but maybe it will come clear if I try it. I'm new to this whole blockchain thing since coming to steemit and I'm finally feeling like I almost know what to do to succeed. But for me - these last two weeks have been really difficult.
I'm big on comments and they have fallen off a cliff. If I can manage to make a comment in the first place, I am getting fewer replies than I was previously.
