But Rimbit looks dying as well and if you do this there is a high chance to be dumped even more (thought I'm not sure if there will be good buy orders for dead/dying coins). What is the reason for even considering doing this?
i kinda agree with you but i do understand rimbit idea(even tho i'm not mining/buying dead coins).
if you look at ANN you will see a few dead(actually, almost dead) coins with a "strong" community, and by strong read 3~10 users who doesnt give up. Rimbit is probably trying to attract these users.
at the begin i think it will cause a big dump in rimbit price(which is not good) but in the long run
seems a good strategy.
