You make some good points for sure, but my vote is wholeheartedly against a hard fork on this or any coin that isn't officially broken in some way. At this point it works and it's generating investor interest. Let's not risk disrupting that positive motion. A hard fork could also be seen as another blemish on a coin with an already scandalous history.
You make some good points. Lots to consider and think about.
I'd be happy with the org specs. In the end, it's still a low supply coin.
Well this is basically how I feel too. At first I wanted to cut PoW, but I believe it was you who made a good point about the positive side of mining.

We just go with the original specs. We all decided to invest/mine based on these specs if you look at it in that frame.
I will just update the seednodes for now and do some other minor changes.
I looked at the ticker change like you suggested, but it's REALLY hard to find one that is not being used on social media already. I guess we need to blend in with MAR stocks until we find a good solution.
I like POS. I am staking MAR now as we speak
And you should! By staking you support the flow of the network. And every new MAR is a new MAR!
