April 12 becomes pure POS?
No, it's within the next 36-40 hours, we're ahead of schedule because the minting hash power wasn't taken into account.
AHEM.
Let's kill this fallacy. Once & for all time.
PoW DOES NOT end.
ZeitCoin will NEVER be "Pure PoS"
Mining will still be possible for decades to come. The only question is, will the price rise to the point where mining is still a desirable thing to do when the reward is 1 coin/block?
Here are my (simplified & estimated) 'beermat' maths on the subject...
At 1 Zeit/block, mining will give roughly 3 coins per Mh/s per day.
For it to be seen as desirable to mine, ignoring the benefits of PoS, it will need to be approximately as profitable as any of the 'top 20' coins. Right now that's only around $2.50 day, like it or not we are all tied to the performance of BitCoin.
So, on today's numbers, 1 Zeit would need to be worth around 80 cents to be profitably mine-able after it hits 1/block
With BitCoin @ $450 that's 0.001777 Btc/Zeit
So, do you still think it's sane to be even thinking about selling Zeit right now?
Those who do will feel as stupid & short-sighted as those who sold Btc when it hit a couple of dollars apiece, believe me!
