i was talking about the price obviously, not the coin itself, back it was dumped to the ground as low as 200k satoshi, not comparable with today
so dev weren't incentivated to do a better miner, not to mention there were far better option to mine at that time
And I mentioned that the difficulty has increased to match the price in addition to talking about the price. You know difficulty is correlative to how much you make, right? Literally right there... Even included links to charts.
Far better option then what? As I said put 500hash into whattomine and look at profits for a 1070. 970s had even less hashrate back then.
how can you compare now with what it was back then whattomine can't do anything, there were another better coins before, if you are talking about 2015
if you said "years" before and not "year" i can even assume 2014 which is even worse for monero, jackpotcoin alone put it to shame on profit
Wow dude, you can't even keep your responses organized and confuse yourself when talking. If you type in 500 hash into Whattomine TODAY, look at how much you earn, less then $1. That's for a 1070. Now we take things back another notch, a 970 has less then 500 hash rate, closer to 400 (you can search this thread for some of SPs responses to people asking about his custom Cryptonote miner). When you start factoring in power that gets very close to 0.
There were better coins to mine because the miners sucked dick. Cryptonote has always been a really strong algorithm, which is why I always asked for improvements towards it.
Now lets separate that, lets talk about Price vs Difficulty. There has always been a lot of volume on Cryptonote. You argued that price has increased a lot recently, which is why it's now profitable. That is incorrect. Difficulty has also increased quite a bit to match the increase in price. Look at the two charts I posted, that's not hard. Even if you don't listen to me and actively confuse yourself, you should at very least be able to look at two links which show the rise in price (volume has always been very healthy) and rise in difficulty.
Hey look you're actually completely wrong on almost every account and don't know what you're talking about.
Do you also like condescending smileys?
Why are you always this condescending mr bullshit-pro ?, i understand why people hate you, you're a jerk and a prick, and you have nothing to do on any forum with this tone, and you don't know what you are talking about either... go read up some gpu papers, or find a better hobby than harrass people that don't find grace in your eyes (you were bullied in your childhood to have this much hate or what ?) in the meantime go to my ignore list and the hell with you...
I don't know, maybe it has to do with the fact that you're using condescending smileys.
You know in order to get the point across you have to make sure you look down on the other person.
I think I got that point across without the smileys simply with the eth-baby comment. Don't comment on something unless you know what the fuck you're talking about.
You don't even address my points you just go 'go read a GPU paper' because that's going to make a algo that isn't being strangled by the MCU become strangled by it.
And nope, my childhood was lovely. Unfortunately this is my workplace and I have to deal with retards like yourself cluttering it up with uninformed stupid shit which we then have to deal with so this doesn't turn into the Ethereum or Zcash forums.
