Also, I've been watching the exchange price action closely. Coinbase/GDAX has been leading Bitfinex significantly during upward spikes, suggesting that it isn't Tether that's pumping the price. And if you look at Tether's circulating supply, it's silly to think it could singlehandedly prop up the entire market.

Hello there, I'm looking into this coin, trying to ding the value of it beneath all the troll and crybaby.

Because even after reading the whitepaper and 20 pages of this thread the only thing I know about this coin is that it was created to get capital for marketing GAME and the MobileGo Marketplace.

If that is is only function this coin has 0 value because you just make a donation to promote a project but your have not incentive  into that project (expect if you are holding GAME coin).

So my question is :

What does holding this Coin offers? How is this coin having any value at all ?

Hi,
Regarding to the Linux miner I've just found out that my last day work was a little useless because tandyuk in his repository already merged the relevant changes to a different branch that works also with datacoin. Source is here: https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer/tree/mumu-v8
Building instructions can be found also there. (This version doesn't requires the "-getwork" parameter)
There are still problems with solo mining on the Linux builds in general because of some communication problems with the wallet. Each request to the wallet takes at least 2 sec and the connection is not closed correctly as a result the miner doesn't gets the new block notification in time and also may result in crashing the wallet. I'm working on fixing this issue.
