Doesn't matter anymore, the good profits have come and gone...
Another coin coming in few days I heard
And I bet it won't be the last, considering the popularity. And it is still more profitable than all of the popular algos anyway, even if that changes with every passing hour (but then the price may reflect it at some point).
And I don't think he's considering the change just for skunk.
sp_mod 4 , Is the release date roughly known?
2% fee is nice for me, and not so nice for the miners. My work is stolen and resold. What can I do?
Increase the price? Only sell to old members with a trackrecord. lock the miner with a key?
Claymore and EWFB is doing pretty good with the fee.
Another option is a close sale to a a few big farms for many BTC. Then you will never be able to mine because the big farms will harvest all the profit and destroy the coin.
Only sell to old members with a trackrecord and lock the miner with a key that is generated from HWID and something else. Maybe to build mod with uniqe number and you can see from which IPs that uniqe number is connecting.
How would that help, I have miners in the office, back at home and I host two rigs that I can manage as well. I men IPs are not going to help much in such case, not to mention it is a bit far stretch to track them.
Track record wont help if they share it and someone shares it ... with public. Well, at least he'd know who leaked it.
