The developer of digicoin is mining WDC....so what's that tell you about confidence in digicoin?

...I admit I lol'd for reaalll.

It's amusing, but that said, I wouldn't doubt the devs behind CNC, WDC, etc were all mining FeatherCoin before it crashed. They were just smart enough to release their coins under an alt account.

relm9, are you not seeing that his mining contract was announced on the 18th of May and lasts 8-10 days? Thus, with digicoin's release, which was supposed to be Tuesday, but apparently was moved forward (suicidal move for a coin's launch, imho), Baritus, the dev of digicoin, would be mining WDC all through the crucial first week of digicoin's existence. Such a terrible message to send to the community. How can we expect much from a dev who does this? What kind of faith can we invest, not to mention our electricity/hash power, in such dev and his coin? It's insulting.

Mining another coin shows nothing but interest in the field. I'm not trying to create any pump club either. I openly admit to mining BTC, LTC, NMC, TRC and many more, should I be executed then?

If you are not interested in digitalcoin, simply close the tab and never come back though.

Thanks.

Baritus, let me explain this to you in a way where your peanut brain can understand the severity of your behavior. As stated in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper, the longest block chain will dominate the network. So to avoid a 51% attack, the longest block chain needs to be owned by a group of trustworthy nodes devoting their computing power. Assuming the developer of a coin should be the most trustworthy node, it would benefit the network security for having that added trustworthy node. But instead, you are devoting your computing power to WDC! You are in effect allowing your own coin's network to be more vulnerable!
