I can see how the mining pools make sense for the investors and early adopters to artificially prop up the price and demand of the coin. But don't they negate the supposed environmentally friendly claims of the coin that come with using PoS instead of PoW?

The devs are still encouraging mining and a bunch of excessive electricity use on this project through the mining pools.

LOL
Who came up with the logo?
It's not even yellow.
Should've called it "orange coin", or is that coming next week?

Re: Investing $100,000/200 bitcoins into my new Crypto

Am I missing something? How does the $100,000 actually get invested?

Stashing a wad of cash in an account while simultaneously creating 1000 shares of thin air doesn't magically make those shares have any intrinsic value.

Blackcoin taking a bit of a hit today.Gone down a fair bit.  Undecided

Well, what's the real value of holding black coins.

It's not like you can walk into the supermarket and buy a case of beer with them.

Basically any coin that needs PoW mining to keep going is not going to work long term and become a viable alternative to fiat money in the real world.

Doge is at least kind of funny though.

Some of these other coins take themselves way too seriously.

Add bitcoin to the list.

It doesn't solve distributed consensus.

The equilibrium between energy use in mining and market cap means it cannot scale.  The only way the market cap can grow significantly is by having centralized miners that have access to private energy efficient mining technology, which makes the "distributed" part meaningless.

All in all, it's a total scam.

Right, I mean last fall you could sell these electronic blips and bleeps for like $1000 each.

Now tell me that's not a scam too.  Cool
