I once stake mined a dying Blackcoin-clone altcoin. LOL, there were only about three of us and sometimes only two of us. It was fun though because I learned you could triple your coins in leass than 4 months. It was an experiment and eventually the other miner called quits. I had no one else in the network.
Heh, yeah it is great for learning! This coin did get stuck once. We're quickly getting to that point again.
