"DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DEVS HAD TIME TO CONFIGURE THEIR EQUIPMENT TO MINE THOSE ?"

And, do you see this as being a problem if it is indeed true?  HOW DARE the DEVS have an advantage over those of us who have, frankly, done nothing.

Remember the guy who was a dev of bitcoin who stated that Satoshi would send him 10-20 BTC from time to time just as a test to make sure everything was working properly?  HOW DARE he do that!  That is giving a developer what is now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, it not millions, while the rest of the 'deserving' world fails to profit from their hard work.

As for your question.  No.  I do not think anyone other than the DEVS would have had time to configure their mining gear at the very outset.  And, I frankly do not give a shit that they didn't.  

Nobody is entitled to anything in this world other than the oxygen we breathe.  

BTW, how is the DEV's advantage any different than the advantage that the first miners had over those that had not yet heard of SIGT?  I mean... in your perfect world, we should all have learned about this simultaneously... right?  That way, nobody has an advantage over anyone else.  

Come to think of it, nobody should be allowed to own more than the average number of GPU's.  We should all have 2.7 GPU's.  It is not FAIR for someone to have hundreds while I am forced to try to keep up as best as I can with just a dozen.  That's not FAIR.  Right?

We should ALL be equals.  The dev's of new currencies must only develop their plans on LIVE feeds that are made available to everyone.  And everyone needs to have their government give them 2.7 GPU's and all software required to mine.  And all of this must be synchronized perfectly so that everyone achieves the exact same results.

Right?

Excessive supply?  Care to support that statement with some actual comparisons? 

Mining will end in roughly one week.  Where are all of these excessive numbers of coins going to come from? 

How do you know there is no demand for the coin?  Price action is starting to hint at something other than your contention. 

Is it just me, or do those hats on 4 of those guys look like they could double as bed pans?

How about just slinking over to the darkest corner of your mom's basement, just behind the water heater, and, as you claim in your profile, pull your little thread for a while. 

OK.  I think I get it now.

You are doing all of this 'I have seen enough to prove I am right' stuff in order to get out of Jury Duty for life. 

Smart move.  Appear in a public setting where a record of your posts can be easily established and retrieved at will - reach some hare-brained conclusion in a few nanoseconds without the aid of any real evidence - then shout in red caps that you alone possess the truth and/or the ability to discern it. 

That is a permanent get out of jury duty move since it portrays you as someone incapable of fair and rational discourse.

That is still more specific than saying 'withdraw from your wallet'.  I have a wallet.  On my desktop.  No need for me to do anything other than hold my coins.

I think you might need to be a tad more specific.  Where, other than a wallet, can one even STORE SIGT at this point?

You must have meant to say 'withdraw from Cryptopia's wallet'... no?

Just thought I would throw in that I received another POS block reward late today.  I have 10K coins and 43 inputs of 23505 coins.

The difficulty is harder for sure... but got at least a little lucky.

Mining about 1500/day since day about 2.  These are my staking numbers.

9/7 - 300 coins
9/8 - 200
9/9 - 300
9/10 - 600
9/11 - 300
9/12 - 100
9/13 - none

I figured the POS difficulty would kick in strong when the auctioned coins matured.  Looks to be the case.

I had 12 GPU's working for the first 4-5 days.  I have 10,000 coins to show for it and at today's last sale price, it is worth about 38 bucks.

Yep, that 4 grand in GPU's has just made me filthy rich on this.

But, one never knows.  The story has it that someone spend 10,000 BTC on two Papa John's pizzas in 2010...  so, maybe at 38.00 I am doing OK.

I can tell you this.  Without an exchange, that 38.00 is likely to just sublimate into the air.

No offense, but I would frankly rather see you having to pay a lot more...   

I see someone sucked up the courage and steeled their resolve to take the leap today.

Sold 72 TZC at 100 SAT. 

I can only imagine what they might have in mind for that 27 cents. 

Bid and Ask at Coinsexchange is just absurd.

Bid is at 60 SAT while the Ask is 210.

That is lame beyond recognition.  There is no liquidity in the market for TZC at this point. 

Either mine, stake or buy.  But for goddness' sake, don't sell to anyone who is bidding anything more than 10% discounted to the best Ask.

Just sort of wondering out loud here...

Who goes to the trouble to sell 72 TZC's for 175 SAT? 

That's FIFTY-FIVE cents. 

Would it not be easier to just lift the sofa cushions?

Everything that is coin-related gets backed up to two separate network drives.  It was the reindexing process that was causing the crash.  I just extracted the wallet to a new folder and replaced the essential files and it appears to be working fine now.  

Sort of pisses me off that the two exchanges that do about 30 dollars worth of trades between them every 24 hours are useless.  As it stands right now I feel that I am mining this not for any present value at all, but for the outside chance that at some point in time an exchange will pick this up in sufficient volume to have it matter.

Splitting time between this and SIGT right now.  SIGT needs much better excahnge support too, though it does have Cryptopia... sort of.  

Power just went out here in the U.S. southeast and when it came back, wallet will not start.  Appears to be a database issue.  I cloned my keys this morning, btw.  But not sure how to restore things.

Does that mean you are listing on Cryptopia once the wallet is ironed out?

The coins are divided according to the actual BTC received PLUS the bonuses.  In other words, the total is NOT 25.89 BTC.  It is rather 25.89 BTC PLUS the bonuses.  The blockchain is NOT going to show you the bonus awards but those awards ARE part of the calculation for your portion.

Sadly, value of the coin requires a liquid means of exchange.  Right now, the coinsexchange site is a complete joke.  The bid often runs less than half of the ask.  That's unhealthy and unworkable.  Right now it is 252 SAT on the ask and 85 SAT on the bid.  

And, as a result, nobody wants to deal in it.

Right now, a BIG trade on coinsexchange is a decent tip at a good restaurant. 

There is no value at all to an exchange that can have more than a 500% variance between the bid and ask.  There is simply not enough volume for either of these to make sense.
