Id just hate for the miners to open up and dump like what happened to LCL. hope this makes some sense. weird to me to have an ipo and a mining period.
That's what would really scare me about this coin. Even if it manages to hold its own pricewise, I'd be afraid of dumps. Even LCL was in the ballpark of ipo prices for a while, until miners really destroyed the coin.
miners is what makes a coin wtf kind of kool aid you drinking? =\
Unfortunately, dumps are always going to be a short-term threat. After all, the immediate profit motive is what brings lots to this scene. Compound that with miners needing to recoup costs and that’s what spikes down the price a lot of the time. That said, a lot of the time, mining is just an excuse to justify profit motive; but it is what makes a lot of these coins “work” (even if they don’t have “financial grounding”).
Frankly, investing in these kinds of coins only makes sense if you think you have the savvy to outpace all the people trying to make short-term gains or if you think there is longer-term potential. Although, seeing that the creator of this coin set a total valuation over $350,000 is interesting (draw your own conclusions).
mining justifies profit motive in the sense that miners are not willing to dump under the price it cost for them to create the coins they mined. this changes if they are expecting or recieve new features (price up) or are rushing out the door (price down) but should be stable that if it takes someone 3 hours to mine a block and their costs are whatever for electricity & hardware & a normal profit.
In this situation the mining only will happen in a short period (2 weeks) we still end up with a situation post vote where every satoshi put in by ipo is still only distributed evenly amongst the total investment * 20% of the coins to be distributed. then along comes a 2 week mining period where solving one block could (should) equal more than .011Btc or more depending on ipo distribution? what if the diff retarget doesnt work and someone pulls 1000 blocks. (extreme example) but maybe you get where im coming from? were paying into the ipo so dev can have cash on hand for development and doesnt need for a premine to accrue value as people mine the coin and it gains traction to cash out.
tl;dr
why have mining after ipo whats the point? if your a miner and want this coin, save power and buy some?
