Jackdminer,
You have a point, but then again you also don't have a point. It all based on supply and demand, we reduce the supply, but we didn't increase the demand. We are now in process to increase demand by adding new websites that allow Klondike coin as a payment method. Klondike coin will have some hard moments, maybe several weeks, but the pipeline is really impressive, and there are a lot of coins were you now earn only $5 per day, really a lot of them. So moving to another point is not really a smart option, as we have reduce the speed of new coins added, other coins didn't, so if the bear market finished then Klondike coin should be in a better position.
A reduction in BLOCK REWARD does not reduce existing supply, it only reduces the future growth of supply they are not the same thing.
Its great that more merchants accept KDC. Its great that there is more than one exchange to trade KDC. However if the merchants and exchanges accept/trade other currencies what drives demand to acquire KDC other then speculation?
Example:
If my local hardware store accepted KDC as payment along with BTC and USD, as a non miner or holder of KDC I would choose the most economical form of payment to me which will always be the method without the real and opportunity cost associated with exchanging coin/currency x for KDC.
KDC as a form of payment alone does not drive new resources to KDC.
No crypto coin can survive the death of its network hash. No one will provide hashing power for less then market rates for long.
Not to be a hater, but we clearly have someone that either missed out on buying KDC, or just wants to buy even more KDC at low panic prices
.
Im not saying that you are wrong, but you recently registered and you have only been posting in this thread... Posts like these cause additional panic after ,i.e., a failed but recovered fork.
Yes I am new to this thread since the forum @ KDC website is pretty slow. I have been a quiet full time 2Mh/s miner for a few weeks just happy to provide my share of the work for the reward.
This fork has motivated me to speak up, and speak out about some basic market fundamentals. My path to mining was from a brother in law who was hooked on DOGE, we talked over the holidays and I poked around and soon I was hooked on COINWAREZ profitability page and Cryptsy/CoinedUp markets. I had little coin loyalty if you want to call it that.
After trying switcher pools, and manually jumping from a few different exchangeable coins I stumbled on KDC, I was happy with the payout and the market on CoinedUp so I had been mining the coins for a few weeks. I havent invested much time into seeking out forums or much anything else just mining away and exchanging my coins for BTC.
About a week before the fork things were good. The payout was consistent earning me about .015 BTC a day, and the CoinedUp market had enough movement that I trade a few hundred KDC on the buy side below where I sold the days take. I am not a hoarder of this or any coin in less you consider my meager BTC and LTC wallets a hoard.
Its just my luck that just as I was feeling fairly compensated for my contribution, and looking forward to checking 'the market' in the morning POOF its all gone and I have to fined another coin to trade.
If I have learned anything during this fork it is to invest in the forums once I commit to mining a coin and not just use the Coinwarz and exchanges in a vacuum quietly mining. Had I have been here during the fork discussion who knows how things would have turned out. As always devs will do what devs will do regardless of what one guy with 2Mh/s has to say.
Finally as if my bad luck wasnt enough it appears the whole world is mining Auroracoin so the whole work/reward landscape appears distorted to me at the moment. O well I have an old friend who we've called Flappy for years maybe I'll mine some FLAP coin and print him a nice paper wallet since he has no idea about cryto$ or uses a computer much. I'm only in this for the fun and cost of electricity. But since I have yet to convert my BTC into USD, I'm paying for that too.
I have no delusions of getting rich quick or being a crypto$ player or a GH/s miner. I'm sure once the temps rise above 10C outside I'll begin to loose interest in this.
