just start mining now, otherwise, it will be too late.
yes, I am sure. some big LTC miners have 700M hash rates. That is quite normal.
on the other hand, if they join with full power, it will destroy GRC. I try to persuade them not to use full power at the moment. Otherwise, I won't be able to mine anything as well.
I persuaded them that, now they are using only less than 10M hash rate. they do not want to destroy GRC.
It would not "destroy" Gridcoin even if 10gh suddenly jumped on. The difficulty algo is responsive enough to adjust upwardly to compensate and back down if they left. Hopefully they would be able to get the proper amount of BOINC utilization on each rig to maximize their mining. Any size hash rate would be welcomed since it would strengthen the network and increase beneficial research.
I know them in Ripple forum and they were running boinc anyway even without GRC.
I show one of them start mining step by step on one rig, and I see the boinc utilitzation is nearly 100 when they the first time mining GRC.
If one big miner with 700M just jump in, no others can mine anymore somehow. Majority of people will lose interest in GRC I am afraid.
