What did you mean with this comment?
It's BitJohn indicating that Cryptsy finds Premine interesting.
I thought that's what he said. I like the "there may be a pool" line. Exciting news in the world of Premine.
Block Rewarder has been topped up again. Payout rate has been slowed down to min 30 seconds to allow for an approx rate of 100 PMC in block bonuses a day.
I think Benezivas makes some fantastic points. Not just about Premine, but what is at the core of every Cryptocurrency; our concept of value. In most coins this comes from mining, and while this still can be the case with Premine, the mining rewards are inherently linked to the movement of the coin. I believe it is this link which, when the coin does gain more exchange volume, will create a system that feeds on itself. Miners get more rewards, so move more coins, more coin movement will mean more miner rewards, and so on.
As all the coins have been minted you can't put a cost on that minting process in same way like with other coins. The cost is in re-obtaining Premine, or recovering it from the network. As that is linked so directly to coin activity, then any idea of coin value is likely to come out of that process, as that is how Premine is essentially distributed at its core.
I think the biggest advantage to Premine is this link. There's no potential huge influx in coins on the network due to a drop in a difficulty, something that plagues Cryptocurrencies. This I believe is one strength that hasn't been highlighted enough. The amount you mine is linked to the amount of transactions per block, as well as the difficulty. That makes for a very different type of coin.
The only way there would be a huge influx is if there is huge activity, and the two essentially balance each other out, because if there is more activity, there would likely be a better price on the exchanges, and so more miners to distribute the tx fees to.
Yeah, I can't tell exactly what he says his video feed is too crappy. The "somebody may have a pool" line is what makes me think you might be right.
Yeah, that's what gave it away for me. I could just about hear him say Premine. Someone was offering to set up a pool a few pages ago, so it all adds up.
I'm pretty confident he was talking about Premine.
While I don't personally would get my hopes high right now, it would certainly add a really really fun variable into this experiment: Sudden exposure to a big market. I am currently not sure whether I should think of this to be a good or bad thing in the end, but it would certainly become really interesting regarding the network.
Mind this: Once this coin hits cryptsy (if at all), the distribution phase will most likely be over and switched to the mining end. I don't want to say that this is a bad thing, but I wonder how many people are currently involved and if we shouldn't spread out the coin more in any way thinkable (give some to your personal friends or so) before this happens. It is very easy to become a hoarder right now due to the low prices over on poloniex.
As I said: I can't tell what to do, really. I will personally spread out the coin to a few more people I know myself, but right now I am not sure on which other ways we can increase the distribution.
