Few issues:
- Its dangerous for the coin that the one pool has so much power. The pool owner could destroy the coin if he wanted to.
- Also, not a good idea to change the algo because gpu-mining would balance the powerful pools and vps-miners. (Quark gpu-miner isn't very powerful and it can only solomine, so its kinda ok)
- No premine and not sufficient mining power for the devs: Not enough resources for basic services.
- Megaminer mystery (~800Mh/s with the animeminer at that time was unbelievable HUGE) - was it a ~5000-10000 comp botnet or some weakness/backdoor in the algo?

Hope these things can be fixed by the voluntary community work! Wink

PS. FairQuark was launched with p2pools and the network has been stable.. maybe those could balance animecoin too?

I agree but am not sure that the one pool has the % everyone thinks. This morning minepool had 900MH whereas the P2P pool had 500MH. Add solo miners in and when the dev releases their pool, it isn't too bad.
I am sure if someone wants to amend Smelter to work, they will be able to. I think GPUs from the offset are pretty unfair for the CPU miners though, so it was a good idea.
I agree that people need to donate to the dev or make communtiy projects. I have done both, but not large amounts.
The megaminer was strange, has he gone solo, or popped up on another Quark-like coins?

Fair quark was (ironically) heavily premined, so they should have resources to buy services. I think a community will form here, anime is too cool for that not to happen!
