I really can't understand these guys that knock one crypto over another. I go to bed at night sometimes thinking, what the hell I'm I thinking by sinking money on "virtual currency". But then again, people thought the dot com was a joke and yet those who got in it made millions of dollars.
The internet itself was considered a joke at one time. And now 80+ year olds use emails to stay with their friends across the world. What is facebook but an interactive web page with powerful computers in the back end.
I'm new to mining cryptos. Started looking into it in October last year. Waited until February this year before I decided to get me a computer and mine using a gpu. Then when I felt a bit more bulzy, I got me a used knc jupiter. Then gridseeds. But most of the time I think I will not see a return on my money any time soon. However, the idea is jenous.
I mined LTC first, then realized it was taking forever with gpu, switched to Doge. Once I got my gridseeds, I tried the multi coin pools, and mining coins like doge on it's own. regular pools or what you call MPOS, p2p ... and now started to venture out to mining other cryptocurrencies that I see there is a potential in them.
But to those who knock one coin over another:
Doge started as a JOKE. Even by the developers of it. And not it's become one of scrypt's most mined and traded coins. Every time I look at a huge multicoin pool, it's mining doge most of the time.
The coin started as fun and remains to this day as fun by its community. So why would you think this coin is nothing or will be nothing over another?
