24 hours. And at this point I believe there's only one hope: That I'm wrong.
Why do you keep counting down?
The Dev announced to post the still missing whitepaper about the future plans regarding the coin, more information about POS 3.0 and more this week. So this deadline is kinda important to asses the credibility of the Dev regarding this coin. Or, in other words, if this coin can be trusted to keep funds in it, or invest them again, after the second big POW/POS phase.
was someone asking for 'donations' for a gpu miner? More info anyone?
A working miner is finished and if we can pool together a bounty the developer will open source it for us all to use.
So far someone has vouched to put in 0.1btc
Unless someone has a GPU farm the uncertainty about a POW fork makes this not the best of investments. After all the miner works roughly 3x as fast as the better CPU range with probably about twice the power consumption. Given that and, if the Axiom team is serious about giving the CPU an edge back, that the POW fork should happen before the incoming second distribution phase to make sense. This doesn't looks like a good time to invest in a new miner.
Then, given the performance was taken from a 970, I'm missing some information if this is a CUDA miner or how well it would run on an AMD platform. I'm not that long into crypto but I found that usually GPU miners are optimized for nVidia or AMD, not both. I doubt I'm the only one with an AMD in there.
To the Dev of this GPU miner, I'd say it's either writing it off as a loss, hope for a post from the Axiom team that these GPU performances are still considered acceptable and a POW fork is not imminent or release it asap with a hardcoded mandatory donation.
This situation regarding this miner is another point were it shows that it's really time the Axiom team comes forward with some information. People are on the edge and being there is not a comfort zone at all.
EDIT:
How do you find 250/block when pos is supposed to deliver 5 coins per block atm ?
He doesn't. It's a mixup of chunks and blocks and stuff. He means he organized his coins in this example in chunks of 250 Axiom inside his wallet. If you activate coin control and watch your addresses (send tab, inputs button) with it you'll notice that your coins are still grouped in chunks of the amounts of your original receiving transactions, even within a single address.
