The top miners are making a shitload of money if they were to dump right away (thank you for not dumping)
Well, some are. It's the first time I see the price at or below 10k. They sold into some of my buy orders.
It's nice to recover some of my previous sells at a strong discount.
As far as mining goes for the new project, it might make no difference to web miners but it sure will make a difference to you if you can direct that hashpower at something.
Webmining via cpu an asic algo is just a waste and only serves to distribute the coin. Why not choose an algo that is actually cpu minable and cover some of the costs?
That's not how the web-mining works. Anything that happens to our chain would not affect web mining earnings. The web miners are mining Monero and getting paid out in NEON. Unlike any other pool, with the forum, you are also paid on a per-hash basis, it has nothing to do with whether blocks are found or not
To date, the entire forum in like 5-6 months has mined roughly $250. At the current (very low) sell price for Nucleon, there have been
well over $30,000 worth of NEON sent out. So as you can see, I'm really not making shit on this whole deal. And don't take that the wrong way, I'm not upset about it or anything.. the point is not for me to make money on the web mining, it's just a unique way to distribute the coins and give an even playing field to both large and small users
