Quick idea since this once very vibrant thread and company comes to a resounding death.
What if Spondoolies created their own SHA-256 and if they accepted it for payment for their miners, or even only that for payment for their miners (cash and their new coin only).
I am really not tracking here. I think it's been amply demonstrated that any SHA-256 coin that
isn't Bitcoin, is "Dead On Arrival". Every single previous example has been a "Pump and Dump" trade for Bitcoin scheme that fails.
A new SHA-256 coin will
NOT solve any problems for Spndoolies, or anyone else for that matter.
You missed the point.
