The people renting the hash believing in the coin are the ones who get screwed.
Just like paycoin.
Who makes the most?
The current Asic mfg with product shipping, and the "devs" of the coin.
What would be great is to spot one of those scamcoins coming and pull a double reverse on the pump n dump...
Now that would be a movie!
BTC miners don't mind as long as the difficulty drops, and then the people who bag hold don't start yelling until a month or more down the road.
I would not compare to paycoin. Gaw in my opinion killed paycoin. Looking back it was all pretty obvious. I was looking at gaw twitter it shows them renting private jet to conference when they were looking ok before paycoin dropped.
It is very nice on pay on nicehash and renting right now. I will not complain, I hope it continues.
As far as tonight bitwisdom continues to show a downward trend in difficulty. Hard to say how much hash is being rented and not on btc right now.
