thanks for the info chaps. I will be able do have it on at least once a day or every couple of days but just not all the time.
will stake for sometime now. will this ever go back to PoW?
I think it would be very unlikely as PoS is better for the environment. Also PoW wouldnt work very well with the upcomming solar miner/staker.
hanken, sorry to say, no PoW has ended and making an additional PoW phase would require a hard fork. I do not wish to increase the supply or go through another hard fork. Many investors have explicitly said they like, in fact love, the present supply. I understand many people, just learning of EGC because all the recent attention, are disappointed PoW is over. But, it is over.
Kazadar, exactly. PoS is much better for the environment. Actually, the solar staker could still stake if there was an additional PoW added, as I would run PoW and PoS side-by-side, like we had for the first PoW phase. But, again and for the reasons already stated, EGC will not be hard forking for the addition of another PoW phase.
Also, X15 ASICs have emerged. We were fortunate to not have ASICs invade our PoW. I wish to keep it that way and I certainly don't want to set everything on hold now for a PoW phase fork and an algo fork.
Sorry if this disappoints people but, I view it as extremely unfavorable for many reasons.
