i kinda hate the cryptonote algo coins they are botnet friendly ....
How is that any different than other algo's getting raped by large mining farms? I seriously doubt that anyone is going to setup a botnet to mine this coin.
Hi. my first post in the thread. FYI In the BitCedi IRC there was or still is a Chinese guy who mines on 30x 12 core Intel Xeon workstations, lulworm can confirm. He held or still holds the majority of the supply so far I suppose.
I doubt it. Look there are people who claim all sorts of things. Some are just kids making it up or pathological liars or whatever. Or maybe a half-truth, like he has that many servers but they don't mine full time or aren't all mining this coin.
30x12 cores @ 50 h/sec/core would be about 18000 h/sec which is more than the entire network hash rate right now.
It is much the same with botnets. Making claims you know that no one can prove or disprove is easy, doesn't make it true.
Don't forget one of the reasons people try to shittalk a coin or tell scare stories about it is because
they are mining it themselves and want to discourage you from doing so. I have seen that so many times it isn't even funny.
I have no idea if this coin is ever going to be worth anything, but that depends a lot more on the development and marketing plans and execution than scare stories about some Chinese superminer, botnets, etc.
