litecoin and dogecoin (merge-mined) are the perfect target.
Attacking dogecoin almost seems like an even worse idea. Who would want to attack such a nice community? All they care about is tipping each other and making fun pictures of dogs.
Seriously, Bitshares should not be in the business of attacking other coins. Even if it works.
We can win due to a superior product, there is no need to be the bad guys and launch attacks on other coins networks.
Let us not be the one to initiate use of force. I thought that was what most of us agreed upon, but it looks like I was wrong.
Overall, this sounds great. However, on the other hand eagleeye is right when he says business is warfare--well at least he is partially right. Think of Ripple, for instance, and how somehow dropping a huge chunk of their shares on the market when we had reached the #3 position somehow quadrupled their marketcap, bashing us in the face and pushing us down to #4...that was 50+ million marketcap ago. :/
This was seen as an attack by our community (and rightly so) but it didn't do anything to hurt Ripple at all (though admittedly that is because BTS has no real voice outside the small community wherein we exist).
There is a case to be made for these types of attempts. I simply hope we do not use BTS to do it. I would far prefer an altchain be built up, advertised and use this method to "climb the ladder" so-to-speak. This way at the very worst it is not seen as BTS doing it, and at the very best, it works and this method becomes a very good way to assimilate other coins into DPOS-upgraded chains (which will not hurt users at all....but rather improve their experience significantly and free them from the control of mining cartels).
