I think it's crazy how Arionum, much like RavenCoin, manage to catch enough awareness for a respectable amount of trade volume to happen through their Discord & Escrows.
Like Arionum doesn't have an exchange, and doesn't have a specified date. Yet its hashrate and price are maturing well.
I agree! Considering it's not even on an exchange yet, the hash rate is quite impressive. Can only go up from here! With that said, are there any plans to get listed on an exchange yet? (Easy ones like Cryptobridge, etc, as a starting point)
I don't think it is something specific. There are thousands of guys like you and me who are looking forward to see the next in turn CPU mining coin and just gamble on it. Everybody hopes that it will be the next Monero, but we all know it won't.
Yes, we don't spend money on useless (IMO) GPU rigs or unstable ASICS, we just want to try our processors. Currently there are a handful of such coins - ARO, Koto etc. It is just a justified risk, high hashrate does not mean anything about the coin's future if you ask me.
I am not 100% sure but isn't it possible to mine Monero also with a GPU or is it CPU only?
