First ever X11 PoW/PoS coin will get a lot of buzz...

YeaBaby, that would be one to get into - as long as it was done a bit more like ZeitCoin than BC. Like bigger year 1 PoS than BC (at least 15%), big initial PoW rewards like ZC, but sloping off a bit gentler. If it was done right - no scam/shit coin, no big premine/instamine, definitely no IPO, then I'd mine it with all 4.3Gh/s I have until the rewards dropped off, then multipool to buy more.

What is really needed right now is a long-term coin for the 'little guys' - but the old-timers would do everything they can to kill it, I'll bet my last BolloxCoin on that Wink

Whether a hard fork on GiveCoin is even possible, well that's one for the tech-heads. Whether it's desirable? Maybe.

For now, this coin is the best there is - easy mining, and the commercial coin-farms don't get to play. Not much 'buzz' about it yet, so the day-traders aren't all over it.

My theory as to why no buzz?

... because 98% of everybody on this forum is only interested in how much they can make TODAY.

The very idea of a coin that GIVEs is abhorrent to them - they'd rather have 100% of a payout on a shitcoin than 90% of a meaningful coin.

I like the peace & quiet here. Have you seen the mayhem on the Zeitcoin thread? There are still people bitching that they haven't had their 50K bounty from the launch. The 'classic' is an idiot who claims he had 8 billion on some pool that's now vanished & expecting the thread to give him the money back! Words almost fail me! How can anyone have the hashpower to mine that much coupled with the sheer stupidity to leave it on a pool for 2 months? In my mind he DESERVES to lose the bloody lot Sad

So here's little old me - been mining Give since about 8 hours after launch, building up a nice bag, and no intention of even tracking the markets for at least a month or two. Not scrabbling for freebies, not bitching about anything, just calmly & peacefully mining & giving it loadz of '4:20' Wink

Long may it last Cheesy

E2A:- Steve, Dale & anybody else doing the wise thing & checking back - LMFAO ain't ya ever heard of reverse psychology? You KNOW who this is, enjoy the in-joke Wink
