Dev posts are killing my profits....
There isn't any profits to be made. Mintpal already knows about the shitstorm. You guys think this is going to be like BC you're sadly mistaken.
It'll be on a few fringe exchanges, get dumped, and forgotten. No self-respecting exchange is going to host this daemon.
I REALLY don't like this devolved pools vs. devs thing that's happening... i'll tell you why...
I was mining FLT really early and occassionally (not full time unfortunately!) but on a regular rotation because I liked the coin. Now take some time and go over there and read through the history. That coin had a shitload of issues from launch even after it hit BTER (blocks were getting stuck for like 10 hours).
Now at some point, I was pool mining and there was a scheduled fork happening to fix an issue. So, of course, the pool I was on did NOT keep backups of wallets (
) and just tried to direct patch the coin. Wallet gets corrupted, results in unhappy me with too many coins being lost.
I go talk to them in their IRC, they tell me coin is fucked, dev is fucked, coin is shit, coin will never go anywhere (this about a week before BTER announcement).
Now, i'm not trying to compare coins here, but rather that it makes me pretty sad to see pool ops resort to confronting devs... it's really not your place, I would hope you'd be professional enough to remain neutral on a coin. I think whatever the quality of the coin and/or developer, it's up to the market to decide... Coins have issues, many coins are crap, many devs are crap, but again let the market decide...
Whether you like the dev or not, you're still coming in hurting your peers (there are still some really solid pools on this coin, with solid ops) as well as miners by acting like this...
@binaryclock, I dunno man I like ya and have chatted with you many times during launches on IRC... but this seems a bit petty for you....
