I had been very positively surprised by the Hellas Verona annoncement:
https://www.soccerex.com/insight/articles/2015/hellas-verona-partner-with-jetcoin

Buy after that the sudden jump to $1 made me somehow suspicious of the credibility of the project. This has nevertheless brought back my hopes: http://bitcoingarden.org/jetcoin-announces-new-champion-leveraging-blockchain-launch-supermodel-career/
Good luck to the project if it's indeed not a scam one.

To me it looks like the project has *only* one developer (not one core developer, but only one developer), as it can be inferred from the GitHub page:
https://github.com/216k155/lux/graphs/contributors

I wouldn't count a dozen commits as serious, long-term contribution.

This is a bit concerning, given that there've been constant references to a "team", but it seems to me it's a dev team of one. Good luck to the project regardless, if it's indeed not a scam.

Thanks - very much appreciated!

Have you got any references for backing up the suggestion that Bittrex might get shut down? Or is it just personal opinion? Would you mind elaborating why you think so?

Thanks very much for the response.

Is it an absolute no-no for mining even small-time (currently) alts with a PC? My intention was to not necessarily go into a 24/7 spree, but mostly get myself familiar with the software, methodology etc.

My apologies - my intention definitely hasn't been to begin a verbal fight on a personal basis or otherwise. And I don't appreciate your suggestion about who might look like whatever.
The bottom line was - drawing completely arbitrary and imaginary connections doesn't hold up to the promises of the project, and doesn't bring any positive points to its perceived quality. Any other relatively intelligent person out there would infer more or less the same. The best we've got so far from the project is the laconic "wait till date X. big announcement coming" ...
I don't think having done a course on the history of EMC2 is a pre-requisite to realizing that things are not going okay. Github metrics and developer interaction is what I trust.

Hello dear community,

I've got a HP 8200 i7 box at home. If I'm not mistaken, the specs are the following:
- https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-8200-elite-microtower-pc/5037940/model/5037942/document/c02779504
- https://www.amazon.com/Compaq-8200-Elite-SFF-Professional/dp/B00ZS63XLO

I would like to start mining, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind recommending a few relatively profitable coins to begin with (to simplify the question, let's not consider electricity bills as an obstacle). I'm open to suggestions regading expanding the setup with multiple GPUs or CPUs.
For CPU-based mining, I think some potential candidates are:
- XMR, XZC, GNT, SIA, VRM, DSH

Definitely not considering BTC or LTC, as I think they belong to a completely different category, where mining is done on a quasi-industrial scale. I might be wrong about the former though.

Thanks in advance, everybody!

My apologies but the severe lack of developer activity on Github and the social media suggest otherwise.

With all due respect, the aforementioned article doesn't contain any references to cryptocurrencies or blockchain.
How is this less speculative than pulling out any of the top 10 results from a Google search on "science and engineering"?
Posts like this undermine the credibility of the coin and strongly suggest scam! And this is coming from a person who was genuinely intrigued about the "intended" ambitions and goals (as scarcely represented online) of this project.
