We all have other obligations in life, which require our time. Also the number of fail launches of all sorts of fail coins really got the best of us, none of us get any joy out of running a pool anymore.
Yup, I like to always do some solo mining on newly launched coins (have a separate rig for this), but in the last weeks it really has been dramatic with new coins.
The last being Rotocoin yesterday with a way to late launch, followed by an insane difficulty after just a few blocks.
I stopped following launches lately - feel like with are just over saturated already - although these country specific coins are becoming interesting, 1/2, 3/4 pre mined though of course by design so much different. What else is still coming out lately - how much more innovation if any is possible at the moment?
I think it will be interesting in about 8 days when all USDe rewards half from 4000 to 2000 per block, should help with inflation some, etc.
