i actually had an idea last night... can we get a multipool mining now? i mean launch the multipool now and let it build up the btc until the coin actually launches? the mining power it could draw due to the massive interest in nem would be huge! and plus if btc takes a massive run up again you will see the dificulty of most coins go through the roof again... why not build up some funds up.. if nem wants to drop a bit after launch let it.. then after the drop start buying up with the mined funds..? what you think?
I like this idea as well, it will allow another option for people to acquire NEM besides just buying it in open market... BUt you really need competent guys to be running this who have similar NEM interests aligned. Look at the blackcoinpool, they are doing all sorts of things to attract miners, giveaways etc ...
I don't mind the 10% for the devs, but it would be comforting if there was some sort of gradual lockup period for the first 6 months or so to give outside investors confidence they wont be dumped on, a stigma which NXT has
im a bit behind but here goes.. using a multipool doesnt make nem stop being green.. nem still is.. the multipool would just do the same things as other coins (mine them) but it will do it faster and kill them off before all coins are mined which is actually beneficial.. why let all the other mulitipools suck all the wealth out of the other coins when we can take a nice big slice too? build up a nice large savings of btc to add big big buying presure after launch! its all good good good! theres allot of people in the community that agree too... and allot of miners would get in on this to get cheap coins.. throw in a bonus stake or 2 on top of the earnings to give extra profitablity and youl get mega miners coming.. the miners would actually get the cheapest coins(bar registration people)
imagine the amount of nem that will get bought up if we got people mining and stock pilling btc for months to buy nem at launch!
and loads of people will know about this and try and jump and get cheap coins before the pool buys in and raises the prices and others will try nd get infront of those people and the price will just explode!!!!!
+1 if you agree with people!
Actually ,I was thinking along the same lines as this too. We want NEM to be green always but overall change in types of cryptocurrencies will be gradual probably. We need to dictate the pace and not hope !!!! Enforce our views from a position of strength!!!!
Pow will implode eventually, we would just be helping it along the way. I do agree with Pat though. It should never be endorsed by NEM. Some of the Guys should just get together and do it on the quiet. as long as the goal is achieved.Also if people are swayed to join NEM sooner because of its success then it will break the pow crypto backs.
you gotta be cruel to be kind in the right manner.
It's not like we can prevent anyone from putting this up anyway. Some wan't to support it some don't. I guess we'll see what happens
I don't like the "they'll mine anyway" argument because it's just not valid imho. Not only will a multipool give people incentive to start mining even if they we're not before but it will also further support the imho outdated PoW paradigm.
If all people jumped on the green wagon and all pools would close doors then the world would be a better place imho. Instead we're putting up a new one to get a slice of the cake ? It just sounds wrong to me.
Maybe we can get something going that will at least not waste the energy ? We could only support coins where the mining process is not worthless e.g. Primecoin and Gridcoin. Searching for prime numbers and supporting projects that try to cure cancer, aids and what not sounds a lot better to me than calculating otherwise worthless hashes
That's also something that could set our multippol apart from the others.
