This is quite an ambiguous situation for investors. Should we sell now before GPU miners start to dump their coins and the price will go down? Or should we wait for the announcement of new feature test results when the price will probably increase? Which will come first? Haven't decided yet.
I dont get the argument of why people mining with gpus are more likely to sell them than those mining with cpus.
It's a matter of volume. I was mining DRK with CPU, getting some 250-300 KH/s, around 12 DRK a day. Not thinking about selling because I really want to see the concept implemented, but with those rates, at current prices, the profit is small and less tempting to cash out. This perspective changes if you multiply the results by 5-10+ when using a decent GPU. Also the difficulty rises faster and CPU miners are slowly moved out of the picture.
I'm personally a little disappointed since one of the two things that made DRK interesting for me as announced (CPU only) turned out to be false. But I'm not selling and will follow developers work.
I agree. I kind of gave up on mining since the GPU release I noticed the amount of coins I was making drop quite a bit. I loved the fact that it was CPU only, but now it is just one of many GPU coins. But, I'm holding what I have.
