Hey I thought this coin was a good idea along time ago when there was some hash making it go but I stopped a month or 2 ago as why bother when im burning my money (electricity)and still have 20 BTM pending for god knows how long I mean there really isn't a point to this when miners are the backbone of a block chain ..I understand high difficulty but its plain just to high and this is going to die as ive held what I do have and watched it go from 250k sat to 30k and that doesn't fly well cuz its not like this will replace BTC ..this is just looking to find a niche market and turning your miners away will kill it end of story there isn't an argument to be had on it and to do so is just stupid after all the work and wasted electricity...my god man wake up and get the diff within reason that will at least grow and draw some attention to it...or watch it fade cuz as tipping and everything else takes steps forward this is fading and support is fading ...anyways let me know next year when I can get my last few coins out and I hope there still worth half a sat ... Cry

Sorry to hear that the high difficulty has given you a bad experience so far. We definitely don't intend for marking to be a niche market thing though.

Miners will mine whatever is profitable for them to mine, so if we can create demand for BTM then the mining will follow.

I have to agree with the first guys statement. I stopped mining because of the confirmation time. I've been waiting over 3 months for just over 2 BTM to get confirmed on a pool. I "made a mistake" earlier and bought quite a few on one exchange because the price was low and send to another where I could have made a 0.00004 profit, well, I've been waiting over 3 hours for the coins to show up in my deposit. Blockchain still showing unconfirmed. My would have been profit has now dropped that I may have to take a loss, this, my friend, is not acceptable in the mining world. The coin will die out if something is not done to fix the issue, other coins have had this problem and the dev's have fixed with a fork or other means and most of those are still being mined today, I've seen other that just faded away and died. If you want this coin to become what you say, then you will need to do something to fix the issues before the miners totally give up on it.

Speaking for myself, and maybe most other miners. I mine coins that I feel comfortable with and that turn a profit. As the other user stated, we miners also have to cover our expenses to mine (electricity/equipment), which, at present, this coin is causing loss for all who are mining it, including yours truly. If the issues are fixed, then I'll point all my miners at the pool, but until then, I need to mine coins that are profit and move a lot faster as far as transactions and confirmations are concerned.
