I also have ergo and I o not know what is this token. Several fake or worthless ones too so be carefull - one of them was mobilego fake one.

12 Solutions per second. A single AMD 390X does 150S/s. With 1000S/s you can expect ~0.01 Zec every 1h to 1h30 so with 12 you'd do...something like 0.0001 ZEC/hour. Not worth it unless, again, you have free juice.

Yes their might be some other coins you can mine, don't know which ones though.

I guess it depends on your electricity cost.. Where do you live?

Well said about how it discourages potential new money coming into crypto. I myself started exactly the same way it maybe just took for me a bit quicker to filter everything out but not everyone have enough basics and determination.
But if you look at the bright side-in crypto only smartest survive(don't put myself in that category though) and stay. Quality over quantity is the bright side of it-later or sooner cryptos will become mainstream.

That's all the Nxt people talk about after the failure of the project (some weird guy who nobody cares about), because facing reality is to hard.
The interesting thing here is that Nxt had a massive upswing, and the deflation was way too rapid. Never mind the code quality and general trust issues, but this can break a project. It would be interesting to consider a system which can be more adaptive to price movements. In non-algorithmic distributions this is possible, but for Cryptocurrencies it is close to impossible to estimate the future value.

On Nxt itself. Pure PoS is actually not a bad idea. The simplicity of the system is a major advantage. But Nxt was centralised in development and has a lot of garbage in the codebase (from the beginning). Crypto-assets the way their were done on-chain don't work. The Nxt assets were mostly or all fake (one would need trust guarantees of some kind to make this work).
 
I don't know of people who cashed out. I know various Eth holders who are millionaires, but contribution to the project are not necessarily correlated with financial success. Actually having developers/founders getting some early equity is not that bad a model, rather than investors only who buy the currency in the early stages.

he did answer your question mate, it depends on timezone, go to ico.wavesplatform.com and refer to day/hrs remaining

It is your personal account. You will be able to withdraw when you like after beta mainnet launches.

As per counter and depends from timezone you are looking at. Counter should be properly synced with your personal timezone.

ICO ends on May, 31, next beta mainnet launches, first checks, next investors are able to withdraw their tokens directly from their personal accounts on the ICO site to exchanges wallets, while they are withdrawing they will need to confirm also through email they receive in the process. Exchanges will announce by themselves when they have wallets available.
