All the pools and regular miners getting massively ripped off on the block rewards right now. This is blatant and obvious to anyone who cares to look at the publicly available numbers. Their is no other explanation for what is happening. I am not going to try to tell anyone what to do but you look at the numbers and make your own decisions.
Last 24 hours of blocks found. Time period 4 pm on 2/17/2014 to 4 pm 2/18/2014 (PST timezone)
The two biggest pools for Karmacoin
http://karma.hashstrike.com = 230 blocks and 98155792.429 coins mined for an average block size of 426764
http://pool.karmacoin.info = 369 blocks and 163830536.742 coins mined for an average block size of 443905
Total blocks mined during this 24 hour period by everyone (numbers from the blockchain site) = 1411
Total number of coins mined with these 1411 blocks = 1082426659
Remove the coins and block mined by these two pools and you have the following:
1411 - (230 + 369) = 812 blocks by others
1082426659 - (98155792 + 163830536) = 820440331 coins mined by others
So then 820440331 / 812 = 1010394.496305419 average coins per block.
Yes ladies and gentlemen that means that the exploiters are getting over twice the number of coins per block as the top two pools combined over the last 24 hours. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IN A FAIR COIN? The profitability calculators for this coin are way off and should be cut in half to get the correct numbers for us miners. The trade volume is dominated by the exploiters who artificially inflate the coin to make it look attractive. You my friends are the patsies in this scheme.
These numbers do not lie. There is no way this is pure luck. In fact they tell us a truth that someone has found a massive exploit of the code behind Karmacoin and is using it in our face without any fear of being caught. They do not care
Well if the devs do not do something immediately to remedy this I am going to post this everywhere and anywhere that people will listen. The best thing you can do right now is spread the word about this far and wide so that all miners know to steer clear of Karmacoin until this is fixed. As for what you decide to do with your own hashing power and hard earned cash I will leave up to you but I am not touching this coin with a ten foot pole. Good luck to you all.
Honestly, is there a conspiracy at work or are you just out gunned in the mining world now? Try to stay positive, this is KarmaCoin after all! :-)
Huh? You are not making sense. Are you not able to do basic math? My numbers don't lie. The system in place in far from level and if you want to go on mining the coin or perhaps you already have a large position that you are trying to protect then so be it. I will let everyone make their own decisions. You seem to want to take jibes at me personally while avoiding directly addressing the numbers which speaks volumes in and of itself. I am trying to save others from making a mistake in thinking this coin is actually more profitable then it really is.
I just went back and read all of your posts from Vertcoin to Maxcoin etc and you seem to fall in love and then a few days later try to crush the coin by trash talking what you once admired. Just seeing a pattern and find it odd. Read the previous posts where fairness in mining was discussed. Quote those and make your case. Your arguments was addressed from what I have read. sorry.
Please everyone feel free to read my previous posts. You will see that what I am being accused of is not true. As far as my Maxcoin comment it was in pure sarcasm as the coin had already launched a day or two before my comment. Please don't try and attach me to this cancer of a coin. I don't recall never said anything negative about Vertcoin. I still hold almost everything I mined from that coin (I am only down the 4+ coins I donated to an African well project).
Karma used to be fair and the distribution was equal among miners, but no longer. That is why I have made this message. I want us all to have an equal shot at mining this coin. My arguments have never been directly addressed, sorry. I understand many of you may not like to hear what I am saying but the math and the facts speak for themselves. I have presented my case and evidence. Present some evidence to repute this without somehow having to attack me personally (really is that what this is going to come to?) and I will stop bringing it up.
