This just shows how speculative these coins still are. That is changing, slowly, but surely. We will eventually see value determined by measurable success.
Agree with this!
The whole Bytecent system seems to be very strange to me. Although I read how it works and checked out their "client" things don't really get more clear. Using a nicely built GUI is probably a good way to catch a lot of unaware users to push the whole network, but it can't work out very well for a long time imho
People mine and get coins when they find a block. That is how cryptocurrencies work, what in that do you not understand?
