Re: [ANN] [CPU mining] WAVI [YescryptR32] [NO Pre-mine] [Masternode]
What's going on with the coin? The project is alive? I've been watching the coin for a while, I liked the project. This is the problem with all coins on yescrypt - not enough buyers.
problem is, all cpu minable only coins also get run over by botnets. mining is not feasible for a person with 2-3 cpus vs botnet owners.
This isn't true for WAVI at all so far.
With my 3 CPUs I've created enough WAVI in 2 months to make 2 master nodes, and am well on my way to a 3rd.
That says nothing about the fact that cpu coins tend to be mined heavily by botnets. This coin is young and the difficulty is still low. Think about 2 years in the future: those 3 cpus you have will still be proportionately small compared to even a small botnet's hashrate.
It's probably the number 1 problem cpu-only coins face.
It's not a problem... it's a feature. Some people lease hardware that includes power consumption and bandwidth, and even replacement parts. What better way to get some ROI on idle paid infrastructure than CPU coins... it's literally one of the flagship use cases for these types of coins...
Albeit some of them are legitimate malware botnets, but there's no way for anyone to determine the validity of that statement. Regardless, it's speculation - at best. Could just be some IT guys that are responsible for several cages across the world... wondering what to do with their idle money during non peak hours and seasonal usage...
