I just started mining on my 6950x after all the commotion. Exchange volume on bittrex is better than most altcoins I've been mining. If it can autosell just fine on bittrex, who cares? My silly $1500 processor with ten cores will pull in maybe $30.00 after electric expenses in a month. LOL. But that's way better than zcash or any other cpu mineable coin unless it's been too long since I checked the competition.
I'm new but not dumb. Obviously I can sit here and play with 26 different coins and algorithms. If I find something else I'll jump ship I'm sure if I wanted to play with a calculator all day I might eck out another $5.00 in a month on the cpu side of things. Some of the buyers here might be mad at miners that autosell, but the last time I held a pump and dump shitcoin like neoscoin the value went up 500% within 24 hours after I sold that coin. The reason why I sold it is that it would go up and down 500% in a 24 hour period and I refuse to hold altcoins since that time.
It's free money for an already awesome gaming computer so whatever. What is all the fuss about?
It puzzles me why Bitcoin sells for over $900.00, and why we need thousands of new shit coins. I'm not saying this is is a shitcoin...My favorite thing about it is that it's the only real viable gpu and asic proof coin in existance, but its easy to use the term shitcoin when every single altcoin in existance is pegged against the bitcoin before it trades for actual cash. The constant selling pressure on alt coins to buy bitcoins creates undeserved buying pressure on bitcoin. Sadly, bitcoin isn't really a great coin in function and features, but only in commodity. Altcoins unless developers allow or setup a situation where it's worth actual cash and not just bitcoin is the only way to save them from their eventual failure...who knows....I'm just talking about mining to trade up to bitcoin being what ruins them. How is this coin any shittier than bitcoin in actual function and features? Could you really say that it is?
Mining is for the selfish and the lazy who don't want to get a real job in real life. Be thankful for what you get. Zcash was over $1200 months ago wasn't it? Now its worth maybe $50? We are mining it, we aren't even buying it or putting any development into it. We are taking the lowest risks of all the work that goes into it....how could you complain?
Is this coin really all that dead? I don't think so...bittrex had and has coins with 200-300% less exchange volume. I'm glad you guys were all able to pull together and save this coin though. Delist dangers are a serious thing on bittrex. Haven't checked what other exchanges VRM is on but I don't see what's so aweful about this coin.
Why we need thousands of new altcoins I don't know. But being gpu and asic proof is pretty darn cool.
When is poolinat0r going to fix the "warning - payouts disabled" that says its been like this since like November? I haven't mined more than 24 hours so I don't know if the payouts actually work, but there is an annoying warning that payouts are disabled every time I login. what's up? This is a good pool...can't find any others. Haven't figured out yet how to solomine on windows without using the much slower built in wallet. There is a way but I have to read through some material and just do it when I feel like not being so lazy.
Thank you poolinat0r for doing what you do...believe me....but any idea as to why you warn payouts are disabled? Are they? When do you think you will fix it?
tl;dr He doesn't get all the complaining because there's nothing wrong with VRM... but then again he's not going to risk $30 on it
Actually though you make some interesting points. I guess we won't know how this one will turn out for a while, especially because devs in the vrc/vrm world are in short supply. I wish I had the technical skills to contribute but alas I am not there yet.
