Looks like BTC has hit its all time high - Magi still seems to be holding up pretty well compared to most other coins. Price vs BTC has dropped but we havn't lost the recent rise in market cap.
Yes Magi is doing very nice. Btc might drop little more next week.
I hope so - the BTC bull has been stronger than I expected again.
Looks like its going up again!
Market cap value is looking very good - we are stabilising at around the 200k mark, if it stays where it is for a bit longer I think there is a good chance for a further rise.
I agree with that. We will continue with the awesome future of Magi.
as soon as joe update POW diff engine + dynamic diff based reduced rewards
we will see much less POW coins rolled out per day and a way more competive coin inflation
mining diff will increase with coin price and more miners joining and this way XMG have a automated selfmade POW reward reduction
but yes the downside will be much of the time people mine for little gains
but thats the idea of XMG POW that by reduce rewards with increasing diff u keep away the mining farms
and single CPU who run 24/7 without care about diff and rewards will be the people who really earn the XMG POW coin rollout
the sell pressure will be lot less and trader instead of miner will have main marketprice impact
I like the idea behind new POW engine. It will be very interesting to see how it will influence the price of the coin and of course how interesting it will remain for ppl to mine it. Sure there will always be those who mine the coin cause they beleive in it. but those who mine it currently for profit, they could leave the coin as it will not be worth anymore.
This is verry hard to tune because if you lower the rewards to much you end up with only enthusiasts and botnets mining that dont care about electricity cost.
To make sure to get always a fair reward the network has not only to scale considering the actual coin price, it also has to consider how many hashrate it needs at the moment accordingt to the amount of incoming transactions to always allow them to proced fast. To do this in perfection the network has to learn and predict a large arise before it occurs to make sure the hashrate is pumped when it hapens. To make it realy fair it also has to cut the reward of big pooled hashrate first, without touching the diff or reward of small contributers what is probably almost impossible. Just take a look on BTC transactions, the network is huge but sometimes transactions take a ridiculous long time while still charging a big transaction fee per kb. To use magi as a payment method as a customer that only wants to pay for goods i would presuppose that my transaction is almost instant like it is at the moment without taking care about how it is done. For sure it will take a lot time to get to the state where thousands of transactions per minute are done on the network but the goal should be to reach and handle this.
Apart from this the best thing that could happen to a Crypto is a large comunity of solo miners with as less as posible big hashpower pools.
