Greetings, Mr Dev
Hello, future miners
I'm going to be turning my solitary HD7990 to this innovative coin on Sunday. Since the effective end of the PoW phase of ZeitCoin (Yes I am on the staff, but I'm NOT 'technical') I've mined Vert, Hiro & for the last couple of weeks, GiveCoin.
I will never go back to scrypt again!
It was bad enough having to put a large extractor fan (1000 cubic meters/hour) on my rig to keep the GPU temps below 90 degrees in the winter (it heated the whole cottage better than 5 radiators!) but now that scrypt-ASIC farms are erupting like zits on a teenager as well, the game is basically over for "little guys" like me for ALL the scrypt coins.
Even if this coin does have some 'question marks' at least I'm competing on a reasonably-even playing field with X-11. At least all the other 'hobbyists' will have the chance for a reasonable share of the pot, and the 'day-traders' will have SOME incentive to hang on to the coin for a good while instead of just auto-selling for a few cents profit & moving on.
The 'big boys' will be upset, of course. It's been REASONABLY peaceful here so far (Yep, I'm one of those weirdos who reads every single post in a thread before speaking) but that won't last. If the whales can't grab 60% of a coin by mining it, they scare the miners into panicking & selling cheap.
I'll be totally honest with you all - as this coin has no 'grand purpose' behind it, I will be using it as a tool to enable me to do other things, just like all of you.
But I'll never act in an unethical, untruthful or indeed unintelligent manner. I've learned the hard way that with only a single GPU (albeit a decent one
) I have to mine & trade SMART in order to survive. I've got quite good at it, especially with PoS. If you've never had the pleasure of seeing coin just roll into your wallet yet, stand by it's GREAT!
So, I'll leave you with one VERY pertinent question for the Dev...
Does the wallet incorporate 'coin control'?If you lot don't know WHY that question is so vital, best do some research, huh?
