Understood...  network size does not necessarily equate value.  What gives a currency true value is the ability to exchange it for goods or services.  

Many cyptocurrencies are valued only through speculation and marketing, if not downright manipulation.  Some will become rich, others poor -- the 'pump-and-dump' we see all too often on these boards.

PiNX does not strive to become such a currency.

I believe PiNX has the potential to have more real-world value than many cryptocurrencies today.  The Raspberry Pi community is larger, more committed, and more supportive than you may think.  Early outreach into these DIY communities will be crucial to the success of this project.

Tipping will be important.  See a fellow hobbyist with an informative blog, or project idea you like?  Throw him a few yummies!  Let him know you appreciate the work!

There are no illusions of grandeur here.  The day I can go to a small website and purchase a digital LED board for my Raspberry Pi using PiNX is the day that I consider this project a success.
