I would have to concur. While it takes no effort to fork and it is completely within the ethos of cryptocurrencies, much like low-quality ICO's, these thrown together forks likely do more damage than good from an industry perspective. The free market will eventually be educated well enough to discern fact from fiction but until then, this is the state of a burgeoning new paradigm.
agreed....
Should this fork turn out to bring real innovation to the industry ....
...and I think we both know the odds of that happening are miniscule to zero, at best
I thought the key premise of this coin was to be pool-resistant. I guess someone forgot to tell suprnova? They do have a spreadcoin pool, right?
this forking nonsense has gotten beyond ridiculous and now is just a cancerous blight on crypto. sad really
Seems they've discovered a new seemingly legitimate way to artificially pump the price of their coins, eh?
I believe we are in the very early days still, but Blockchain will have to get its sh%t together sooner than later. IBM, Samsung, and other monster tech companies are jumping in full throttle, so they'll force it to do so... while squeezing out the majority of small miners and crap coins in the process. New tech never fails to bring out the sharks.
