Re: Altcoins mined with CPU

Any coin that can be mined by CPU is a bad idea, as it's network can be dominated by a massive botnet.

On case of Magicoin hashrate is limited to 250 Kh/s by user but you can to get a thing beetwen 6 or 10 coins for day only.

That doesn't stop a botnet in any form, it just makes the creator make each infected pc mine on a new user that sends the funds to the main person.

Its true, But as far as almost of pools have a legend about "Botnets are not welcome" , And if the operator of pool detected any activity relationated with this like to a big number of accounts created recently, they can cancelled all accounts suspicious.

if it is a successful botnet it will have the hashrate to be its own pool, no need for others.

Even so devs of coins can get to ban nodes suspicious if they want of the same way that they banned an node when they dont update an compulsory release.

Were obviously playing a game of cat and mouse and it is getting ridiculous, you're telling me that magicoin is botnet proof due to the limit on cpu, but also because most pools have a sentence in their legend or that the devs are going to be watching nodes? This seems pretty damn far fetched, has there been one instance of Magicoin baning any nodes?

Really I don't know if they have banned any but nor can we say that a botnet has done mining on Magicoin. I only say on theory that can be prevent an exccesive mining of a massive botnet over any coin. Obviously the botnet will get some coins until this be detected.
