You seem to be fixated on earning interest from your (shit-)coin and trying to get DERO to be something it isn't; might I suggest Bitbeans (BITB)/Beancash (BEAN) or Trezarcoin (TZC) instead?
Be nice.
That *is* nice for me... Also, I actually have 2500 of Bitbean and have mined >800 and counting of Trezarcoin, so I wasn't recommending anything I didn't find at least marginally worthwhile myself.
That is a completely counter-productive attitude. Dero is so new it can still be foundationally changed by discourse between the devs and stakeholders or directly by technical stakeholders themselves. With any new organization it is important to be nimble and find product-market fit as fast as possible. If the market (users) are saying they want a new feature, they're much more likely to get it in a newer coin than an established one as their word has more clout.
When I do DD, I don't look at what the coin promises to offer (*cough* bitconnect *cough*). I instead look at the team and their commitment to making the project as a whole a success. This is the investment strategy used by top VC firms (Sequoia, Lightspeed, Andreesen-Horowitz, Kliener-Perkins, etc) in the Valley and by many successful institutional investors. You invest in the people, not the project.
CaptDero has proven to be an active and engaged developer offering new code and ideas to the crypto world. That is why I have turned all of my hashpower and attention to Dero now while it is still in its infancy.
