    - Being honest I don't even know what that is, but apparently someone basically got enough hashpower to buy the network.    - They had something happen related to this 10 days ago and "Fixed" it.    - Now they had to Hard Fork their mainnet.    - I don't really get how it works, but Walton essentially has their ERC20 token which is traded, and then their mainnet which gets mined and pays out rewards in tokens that have no way to be traded yet.    - Attacker attacked the "worthless" chain.    - In a hilarious anecdote that we missed - WTC has that sidechain, and they posted a picture of their offices. Then freychain, the sidechain, posted a picture of theirs a little later, and literally just changed the signs and took a diff angle.
