Large scale botnets have little incentive to mine a new cryptocurrency and probably won't prevail for a while. While it is a possibility in the future, healthy amounts of legitimate miners will weaken their effect.

On the flip side, while botnets can suppress Neptunium's value and distribution, they help support and strengthen the network by mining. Viable botnets can exist for any ASIC resistant coins. Although we see botnets do mine other CryptoNight coins like Monero, it doesn't stop them from being successful.

Botnets are undesirable, and small scale botnets may appear in the future. However, I don't see Neptunium going through any botnet epidemics nor having a fatal effect on our coin. I obviously can't say for sure what will and won't happen, but that's my thoughts on it.

*.xyz Goodbye.

speculation is the biggest scam in the mankind history

Botnets cost money and time to run so why would a botnet operator give a shit about a new coin that is not traded on any exchanges and has no known value?

Hope this coin wont be over runned by botnets ;( 

One of my nodes has been receiving disconnect errors. I'll try to launch the 3rd node today and we'll see if the problem still persists.

Besides sharing the same algorithm, we have fairly different specifications than Monero. This includes a significantly lower number of coins and a different block reward formula. Our emission rate is actually fairly lower than Monero.

Done.

Yeah, i guess i need to wait for the dev to answer :/ i cant find any config file either with the nodes

you have no whitelisted peers thats why but i dont know how to fix

for some weird reason this testnet wallet is not syncing for me but the earlier launch wallet did, hmm weird.

Any help?

what this offer over monero, aside from the low diff to permit earlymining for those that lost the monero train?

check inbox messages dev

please create a countdown timer for us

Thanks for using the testnet and positive comments, always appreciated!

I've restarted the nodes and they seem to be working fine. I will be adding a 3rd node in Europe before release to prepare for heavy traffic.

great work dev

cli wallet testnet working fine here, successfully finding blocks, each with same reward 3.06, much better launch, good job man

Thanks to everyone so far who decided to join the testnet! I'm aware there is an issue with the client losing connection. I believe this has to do with a poor node. Trying to resolve it right now.

Wallet mining seems to be working on the testnet.
