I predict a huge rise in price based on the fact that multicoin pools won't shift their focus to smc and dump coins until it isn't worth mining for them anymore, the coin will finally be able to see some proper growth considering how much interest has been shown.
Exciting ! Grin

You know, i think, that multipools are not so bad. They give a decent ammount of Hashrate and make price growing.

Watch this logic:
1. If coin is not profitable, nobody is mining
2. If nobody is mining, Hashrate falls and difficulty falls to
3. Miners get their coins cheaper so, they will tend to sell cheaper, so price falls
4. If price falls, profitability falls too.
5. If price falls constantly, nobody wants to invest in coin

At that moment, SmartCoin hashrate is really depends on big pools, constant Hashrate is, maybe, 1 GH/s or somewhere around it. But plus 1-3 GH/s is generated by multipools and by people, who search information at Coinwarz... Current Hashrate 4 GH/s is very cool, but I wait for 10 GH/s at the start of next week. SMC will grow +200%.

Multi-pools do have decent amounts of hashrate but are not good for coins.

What multi-pools do is mine the most profitable coin and dump coins constantly causing the value to drop. Hashrate goes up as value goes up.

When difficulty goes up, less coins can be mined=demand>supply and price goes up.

If price falls, miners move and diff drops. More coins to be mined thus more profits=miners come back.

I've witnessed multi-pools destroy a coin, take a look at fedora (tips). Multipools throw at it several GHs and push diff to 100+ levels then leaving small miners to do the hard work. Also take a look at leafcoin there had to be 3 updates due to multi-pools destroying the coin's value.

Multi-pools are bad for any coin and are based on greed, doesn't care about any coin just mining and selling right away.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. They completely ruin the stability and value of a coin, and their community, they stop people who have genuine interest to mine the coin and people who have genuine interest from investing in the coin, because as soon as the value gets higher the miners' impact becomes negligibly small and investors get burned.
Once this update comes in SMC will grow steadily, as it should, with the community support going strong currently.

You can already see what is happening when multi-pool oder farms are mining SMC. They are waiting for a lower diff 10-15, jump into it until diff 35-45, leave us alone and come back when diff is low again.

Like I told you. After the next rise he will leave and we´ll go back to 7-10.

I know Kimoto´s Gravity Well is coming within the next 2 days... and we need it really quick.
