Hey I thought this coin was a good idea along time ago when there was some hash making it go but I stopped a month or 2 ago as why bother when im burning my money (electricity)and still have 20 BTM pending for god knows how long I mean there really isn't a point to this when miners are the backbone of a block chain ..I understand high difficulty but its plain just to high and this is going to die as ive held what I do have and watched it go from 250k sat to 30k and that doesn't fly well cuz its not like this will replace BTC ..this is just looking to find a niche market and turning your miners away will kill it end of story there isn't an argument to be had on it and to do so is just stupid after all the work and wasted electricity...my god man wake up and get the diff within reason that will at least grow and draw some attention to it...or watch it fade cuz as tipping and everything else takes steps forward this is fading and support is fading ...anyways let me know next year when I can get my last few coins out and I hope there still worth half a sat ... Cry

Sorry to hear that the high difficulty has given you a bad experience so far. We definitely don't intend for marking to be a niche market thing though.

Miners will mine whatever is profitable for them to mine, so if we can create demand for BTM then the mining will follow.

Demand would have to sky rocket for mining BTM to all of a sudden become profitable again - I don't see it happening.

Point is without miners there will be no demand for this coin as no one can move it anywhere. I moved some to Bittrex the other day and it took days. That is not really acceptable.

See the circle of doom here?

Not profitable for miners -> No one mining -> No demand -> not profitable for miners etc etc.

Honestly, this stubborn refusal to fix the difficulty problem is vexing. How many people need to keep saying the same thing before someone listens?

Not sure where you see a stubborn refusal to fix the difficulty problem when I just mentioned more than once recently in this thread that we have three people working on the 'zmark' chain testing algorithms.
