The Self-Mining principle relies on the basis that the Token will mine the coins itself for a specific amount of time without the direct need of Mining Equipment or Miners. The token supply is automatically generated on the fly by a mathematical formula.
I'm very interested in what the price will be on the last day of the Ico. After that there will be many possible scenarios. MNE were burned to buy ART but from that moment both ART and MNE will be totally indipendent and their price will no longer be connected.
