anyways downloaded client and will attempt to mine

It's good you are starting now because the difficulty is starting to go up.
same 5000 demoncoin = 5000 satoshi because price 1 satoshi lol
This is funny to me because there were a lot of people in this thread whining about an exchange.
The price is low because no one is willing to buy at a reasonable price. I see people trying to dump what they have for mere pennies. I see some douche bag trying to buy 1.6 Million coins for 1 Satoshi each. Get real, learn how markets work then maybe the price will go up.
@Dev have you tried to get the coin into c-cex, cryptopia, or yobit? It would help the coin a lot. NovaExchange sucks balls. People on Nova are mostly newbs. Coins go to Nova to die...
