Hopefully the age of the chain will support our claim to being a geniune project and not some scam! Certainly if this was a scam it would have to be some sort of record holder for the longest slowest scam in history.
Another thing to consider if your going to join us is that as a low-cap coin, which has already been running for a significant time there is very little inflation running now and any coins you obtain are not going to be swamped out by a high ROI peak 2 minutes after you buy them.
For me, the age of the chain does the exact opposite. It makes it look LIKE a scam, because who has all those coins if you just announced it? You have a mil coins yourself now? Do you have 371 mn? Nobody else is posting here, etc.
I'm interested in pow, but I didn't mine this because it's already nearly a year old and not on any exchanges, with today being the first announcement. Looks sketchy to me. Not looking for another coin to waste my time mining for it to just be dumped by the devs.
Tell me, what's the difference between a premine and announcing the coin after you mined it for a year? Like you said, it's a low cap coin. So, a million coins being in circulation for a low-cap coin that was just announced. Of course, I'm going to assume that you have them all. lol. If you don't, who does? Why aren't any of these other people posting in here? (inb4 a bunch of copper and below noobs start posting random support)
Your ann also has no links to anything but your website. No wallet, no block explorer, etc. No mention of pools. Very little content. Your website is basically the same, but at least has a block explorer and wallet link. It's almost like you don't even want miners to mine it.
You also talk so much about not being a scam that it's fishy. lol.
Most crypto scams don't make sense, so your "slowest scam in history" point is moot. "Touriva is entirely funded by donation" and "I don't take any money for this project" don't work well together. If I donate to the project, you take the money, right? It goes to your pocket, right? Sure you might invest it into the network, but you're benefitting from that too. Ultimately using someone else's money for your (and hopefully our) gain. Is that not taking money and profit?
Don't get me wrong, not saying you are definitely scamming people, or not, just explaining what I feel when I read over this thread, why I am not mining it, etc. Once I ran the wallet and seen 46 weeks, it was a wrap. lol
