Keep driving traders away, and in the long run you'll find yourself in new atl's.

It looks like we're still on track to hit higher lows, maybe you should zoom out.

And really now, how can devs prevent a whale from manipulating price Huh

You need to keep in mind this coin uses a scientific PoW, in that regard it's doing very well, it's merely a geeky prime number coin. This is why you see most contributions to the project are around improvements in mining.

That being said, having more average people mining the coin would help create a more even distribution of new coins and reduce some of the whale manipulation we're seeing.

+this. Riecoin is one of very few coins where advances in mining are actually cool. For normal PoW functions, better mining means ... wasting computation more efficiently.

The Riecoin miner code formed the basis for finding new world-record length prime tuples. Not super useful (which is good - as Satoshi noted, it's important for the individual solutions to the PoW to be worth money), but intellectually nice to have. Better than knowing that hash(blah blah) = 0x000000..blahblah.

cant agree more
