Re: MC2 ("Netcoin"): A cryptocurrency based on a hybrid PoW/PoS system
Not sure I understand the utility of encrypting the miner/client, but that overall plan sounds great. Very fair release. I can assume Windows users will be included; someone else was asking about this, so I just wanted to clarify.
So the software can have a wide release without the first-10-people-to-download-profit-handsomely drama. If the code was available in advance, people would start mining right away. Although this raises the potential threat level that tacotime is fooling everyone and putting in a wallet stealer for every *coin out there for everyone greedy enough to just run the binaries at launch. I'd say that probability is pretty low, but it would be hilarious.
Yeah, I know why it's being encrypted, I just I forgot you can mine solo, I'm so used to mining through a pool. I was thinking that unless he gave out the password for a mining pool, no one could mine Netcoin. It's been a long day, apparently...
