Re: [ANN] [PMC] Premine Coin | Rare | Mining Transaction Fee Proof of Concept
The faucets have run empty because of the fairly huge payouts they were offering a little while ago (0.2 to 1 PMC). I believe there is still some money in the faucet's cold storage wallets (?)
It's not worth mining on an ordinary PC -- even with the very low difficulty, your computer or GPU just can't compete with ASIC's when it comes to SHA-256 hashing. For instance, I have a block erupter USB ASIC hashing Premine right now for fun. It costs about $15 to buy one, and it's probably 10x better than your GPU or 100x better than your CPU.

Ahhh I see..fingers crossed some comes out of faucet cold storage!
Thanks for clearing that up about mining....I'm in NZ and the USB ASIC is quite a bit more expensive, (we're use to things costing more here as they're made by hobbits
). Might look into whether it's worth shipping from US though. Lots to think about.
