I hope they can get it fixed in days and not months. Now we know another way ASICs can damage a coin. I hope the Equihash coins take note of this and change their algos asap. Don't let the ASICs mine at all.
actually the equihash coins (expect BTG, eventually Bitcoin Private) decided first to make/order a professional research to see the impact from all angles, not just the miners one, which makes perfect sense for good valued coins that have a given target. You know that you miners are just a small part without real investement of the whole picture of a given project which includes investors, stake holders, companies, traders, foundations, whatever not,
And the allready shipped Z9's allready mine since yesterday on equihash, just as a side note.......
LOL now that's the bullshit statement of the year in bitcointalk
I consider $30,000 or more in Mining Gear and an ass load of electric bills and countless hours of maintaining them and researching the various coins to mine, quite an investment "of the whole picture" as you say....
Until you directly invested it into a given project it's not an investement into the project, easy as that. If that's the value of your gpu mining hardware it's an investement into YOUR business, not the projects business!
P.S.: Now think again about it and mark your own post as the "Bullshit statement of the year" .....
Oh and one other small thing, without miners there is no coin or blockchain or confirmations etc etc etc.... but then again for a big investor like you that means nothing I'm sure...
1600+ useless posts and still below noob (not newbie) level?
Was that really all you had to say after you indeed realized you invested in YOUR business and not a project? And when you mine you get paid for that, which again doesn't make you an investor in a given project. So now take your little 30k farm and look for the next coin to switch every 5 minutes through all the coins (make sure you don't miss one with 2 cent more payout) around to get your own big investement medal on the next 1500 projects, lol. What a joke that 1.600+ post forum junkie
over 5 yrs of BS. Where as I agree with some of what you have to say in your "points" you make, I think mining carry's a lot more weight then you make it out to be, or at least the way it was worded.
And don't you worry my little farm produces what I need it to. lol and it is an investment for my business true, but if I am mining ETN am i not investing in ETN? different views, but its cool.
