So cryptocurrencies are worthy of our charity, now? I ask this (rhetorical) question because it costs me $0.86/day to run my 1.9kH/s cryptonight rig which would only bring in $0.30 in DERO...
Also, my rinky-dink 1.9kH/s would hardly be noticed on a >300MH/s network, so I think it's safe to say the DERO network isn't missing me too much.
Finally, keep in mind that EVERY crypto relies on small time CPU and GPU miners to get started; sine qua non. In my opinion, it is more a case of the coin having a responsibility to support us, rather than the other way around.
I long since gave up mining DERO, but I am somewhat hopeful that the Atlantis release will justify the choice to not fork off the CN ASICs. Consequently, DERO still has my support in the form of me not dumping my coins.
This project doesn't owe you anything and dumping your coins will only hurt you. You can choose to support the network or not. It's okay to be a fairweather miner. Like I said, it is your choice.
You seem to be taking a moral high ground of your own invention, because there is nothing noble about continuing to mine with a GPU/CPU when ASICs have been developed for that algo; you are merely contributing to global warming with almost nothing to show in return (in my case, around 0.11 DERO per day). In case you are tempted to persist in this line of argument, consider how many people still mine BTC with a GPU/CPU, for one very notable example. Arguing that I am a fairweather miner because I chose to put my GPUs to work on something far more profitable is analogous to calling a vegan a hypocrite for killing a mosquito... It might technically be true, but it's kind of a dick move to press such an argument.
Finally, I said I'm showing my support for DERO - in lieu of mining - by
not dumping my coins, so saying that dumping my coins would only hurt me is a classic case of preaching to the choir.
