For starters, no one knows what caused those crashes in Vertcoin's prices early on. To assume the early adopters sold off all their coins is rather silly, imo.

I just discovered this about Vertcoin because I used to check cryptometer.org all the time. I forgot to check it recently and saw the creator posted Vertcoin. Once I found out, I posted.

My main agenda is to get people familiar with cryptometer. It's a great tool and I think we should encourage whoever runs that site to compile more data about the incoming currencies. Or, we should encourage everyone who is investing in this alt coins to know this basic data. I suspect some people who be hesitant to jump in if they knew this about a coin. I want this kind of data available for all coins.

Basically, if your currency's graph of coin creation is tends towards being STRAIGHT, your coin was mined fairly over time (assuming no premine).

If your coin is mined with a steep curve in the begining, the designer of that coin made it so the early adopters got A LOT more.

I didn't know vertcoin did that, hence my posting.


Other currencies worth viewing on cryptometer... Peercoin and Primecoin also have questionable curves. XPM is interesting in that it had a "super fair" start by not minting any coins the first couple of days...but they still created 1,000,000 XPM within 10 dyas. They mined a lot of coins fast and slowed down over time. I think PPC and XPM are cool ideas, just pointing out the facts. Bitcoin has a nice, mostly straight line. Quark also has a decent line, but their fucked up launch lends me to believe their credibility is already damaged for investment purposes.

Now i understand that the coins come out slower and slower over time...but there is a difference between doing it slowly and doing it quickly. The quicker you do it, the scammier it smells.
