Title: Re: Information to clear up how Elacoin works. Post by: kibu on May 14, 2013, 05:49:22 AM It is fail because there is basically an endless amount of coins being mined, because the more miners - the more coins there will be. So it doesn't matter if you start mine now or in two months, you should always get the same amount with your hashrate. While this may seem 'fair', on second thought you may realize this is not the solution, as there is no scarcity.
And without scarcity the coin will have no value. Title: Re: Information to clear up how Elacoin works. Post by: milly6 on May 14, 2013, 07:00:10 AM That would be true if there were an infinite amount of coins being created, however there is a set amount. I think it's a neat idea because given bitcoin the God of all coins setting the baseline value of all cryptos....don't we all deserve a fair shot? Couldn't that be the point of cryptochange anyway? The value might not be much...but hey someone might be able to get their hands on a BTC who might not have been able to otherwise...IMHO ;-)

I am sure he can compile the windows thing too for you. then release again asap before another coin just uses your idea. releasing with working p2pool will be awesome. |
