What potential? It is nothing special, and it's only 10% ahead, of Powercoin, in terms of profitability.
Because someone pointed 2GH/s towards the network causing the difficulty to jump to 7, it'd be the most profitable coin on the market otherwise.
That has to do with the rate at which difficulty adjusts and it can be fixed.
Exactly, once we lower the difficulty adjustment time we should be fine.
So much trouble of trying to kill a "bad" altcoin that is going to die "on it's own"...
Listen, let me help you out here. GLD is tainted, with so much deciet, and controversy, let it die. Than, get your little cult friends together, and design a newer, better GLD from the ground up. Make the diff adjustment 4 hours or so, reduce block size to 50, for god sakes, don't start off with "Super Blocks", and make the block times, 30 seconds or so. And there you go, GLD 2.0, a Golden Future.
Stop wasting your time and energy on it's current state. If you really care about this coin, and its not just about a pump and dump, than you won't mind dumping what you have, for a loss, and going right back to the design phase.
If people will mine fucking DragonCoin, you can garrentee that they'll mine GLD 2.0, you just need some features, to make it stick.
