I think that the "only processor" currency is not good, because botnet owners will receive a lot of coins (and they will dump). At the same time, there is no botnet with a lot of graphics cards.
Best option: only the processors first time, but in month maximum - appearance of GPU-mining.
That is a good point Fablio. essentially the main reason i decided to work with YAC over the more recent QRK. plus i really like the stake features of YAC, but i can't tell if they are just remnants of PPCOIN code(looks like it to me) or what the deal is with that. Everyone else, i will be answering your questions in due time. I must be on my way. Got a yard to mow and some data to review later. if every thing goes to plan i should switch from testnet over to mainnet this evening and release the coin. I plan on doing what kimoto did and making only the binary available initially... worked out good for MEC, don't see what it could hurt really. For simplicity sake, i will be providing 3 downloads:
- windows installer package( created with click team installer)
- example conf file
- zipped binaries for those who don't trust the installer package.
This is starting to suck really hard.
Two big errors.
1) Releasing binary only - Booo.... MAN we need to review the source!
2) No linux binary? - Booo.... If so, then that would essentially be a windows premine.
I hope you reconsider and do the right thing.
3) NO MAC Wallet
Why do you think it is a fair start for EVERYONE if new coins either only has a Win wallet or a Linux wallet or both of them.
Take SPT for example they start with all three majors OS.
If I was able to create a coin you could be sure that I'd never start before being fully prepared.
(no whitepaper, no source analysis, no builds for all three OS, no website, list goes on and on)
Why do you even release. This will be another one of those coins which will shoot up for 72 hrs and then die.
