I'm curious where you pointed your rented power since the only public Testnet mining pool is gone?

I launched my own. It's not expensive in terms of resources and money. If the community needs a pool, I can assemble it and launch it.
But I'm afraid there's not much point, against cpu mining

I strongly believe this would be a good thing.

You could likely charge a 50% fee even because it's the only one and it opens up the renting market for people who can't just toss up their own pool.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Use the pool fees to fund the faucet and create something that is sustainable and scaleable.

Congrats on your blocks!

You think, that traders really care about technically running any nodes? As long as centralized trading works, they will trade.

Those "testers" usually do not care about nodes and usually only care about whatever they are testing or doing. (Loads of noobs like worthless coins before they get serious in Bitcoin too, they don't give a fuck and are still learning how see their txid on a public explorer...)

I think people are over worried about a little shitty altcoin exchange offering pairs. I suspect the bid will be empty eventually and it will just be a huge line of Testnet sellers sitting waiting hopelessly on the ask. Time will tell. At least it will be tested in reality and not in theory... I'm a bigger fan of free markets than ideologies.

I understand that it is profitable for you when the testnet is traded. But I do not want to support this dirty business.

I think of it more as greasy than dirty, but I understand and respect that. I also consider it BAC testing, which is often not appreciated by everyone.

and make a faucet for free distribution of coins.

Please let me know when you get your faucet up and I'll recommend you (if it is decent.)
