Net hashrate is 20 Mhash/s. Are there really 10 persons mining FOX right now? Grin

How could it happen?

The profitdiggers are gone and the others are going :/

It is not always that low, but the difficulty is on the easy side with a smaller number of miners. I think it is one of the more interesting "fair" KGW coins from launch and a slower halving structure. This flying a bit under the radar in some ways, which is a shame. I have to credit the exchanges for starting to support these better structured coins. Thankfully foxcoin does have some life there, I think more will mine it if it picks up in value.
I would prefer more of a slow build for it more then anything else, but a good community is necessary.
I also think the website can use some work, and it really needs better marketing. But it a slow build as people recognize it as a hidden gem may be a good thing.
The reddit is dead, which really is depressing.

Yes, the subreddit needs more activity then the occasional giveaway post.

In order to be effectively marketed, the coin needs something truly distinctive to set it apart from the slew of other alt-coins out there. People need a reason to focus on it, and long-term mining strength is going to come from people recognizing that good reason.

I think that if AnonyFox settles out what the USPs (Unique Selling Points) are going to be long-term for this coin, and gets a good level of shine and polish on everything associated with that, the coin has a wonderful future. Personally, I think the idea of making the coin ultra-easy to get started with for people who have never done anything at all in crypto-currencies stands the greatest chance for a solid USP.

Solid GPU mining from the wallet (with near-zero prior knowledge about mining required from the user) could be a great way to get a bunch of people involved. While that may be a goal, I think we're still a long way from getting there. The starting post in this thread is a good example... there are simply too many things listed there which won't make any sense at all to people who aren't already deeply involved in crypto-currencies, and some of them will even elude people with moderate experience levels.

When trying to reach out to new people, it's important to make as few assumptions as possible regarding what will be "obvious" to them. "Easy to use" is one of the toughest goals to achieve, but if it is done right, it can be EXTREMELY powerful.

Can somebody please definitively test CPU/CUDA/OpenCL mining in the foxhole so we can get this out of the way.

I will keep mining this coin for no reason .. I believe it will be some thing in the future but needs our help .. shame such a hard work for developers goes down because it is not popular enough ... we can marketing it, tell friends about that coin and who don't know about mining at all we can help them a bit do a videos in youtube . any thing need a risk at first .. I am new to mining so i don't have bitcoins to donate and still have low rig for now . I have 50$ Google AdWords can be something i do help with it ?

Hmm.
25,000 FOX Bounty for a good youtube promotional video!

Haven't used AdWords before, but foxcoin could definitely use some advertising.
