Anyone who has looked at them knows that's not true.  You can buy things with litecoin, dogecoin, ETH, and monero. Even Earthcoin was set up to buy a lot of things at one time.   

You got my point.  The people who have coins that they believe in don't seem to realize that for them to be valuable they have to have
a real world value today.  So, if a Pizza is $15, and their coin is worth .0015, then they need to spend 10,000 of them to buy one.  Not bad
if it took a day mining something for some people.  Then, maybe the next pizza takes 8,000 coins because people are aware that they are
having a value.  In a week, it would take 5,000 coins, and lesser and lesser until a coin is worth much more.

I am investing very low on bitcoin mining earnings (which they say you can no longer do without expensive machines, but in the winter it's the same electricity as heating your house).  I've bought lbry, curecoin, steem, doge, ripple, synereo, and digibyte.  All are very cheap and portfolio is going up since I've been buying them over the last week.

Thanks.

Not sure multipool.us is a good pool...seems to have some outstanding complaints on threads with no response from them, and dead
threads going back a while.  It looks like it's alive when you sign up and mine there so any feedback about it welcome.  However, I did have
a small balance and then I noticed it disappeared, so I just stopped mining there.   I am still wondering if balances can go down because of the
large hash rate of the pool compared to one's own.  

I appreciate an answer to this.  New and learning here.  I put some has power at your pool, but went to another pool and so left the pool.  I notice the BTC balance that I have has shrunk about 50% in a day or so.

Since a block hasn't been found for a while, way longer than since before I started mining, I gather that an unpaid balance will go down if I no longer mine here?  That's normal? 

Thanks.  The unpaid balance from Eligius keeps doing down, so I'm looking to see what the reason is behind this.   Since a block hasn't been found for a while, since before I started mining, I gather that unpaid balance goes down if I no longer mine there. 

Is it on all pools that when we don't mine our balances go down?  Is that because of the hashing power to find a block begins to accelerate past the previous contribution you made, and so that contribution dwindles in value? 

Reading back I see there isn't much activity on this thread.  At the page they say they use another message forum but it's not active either, just one complaint and no response.  Mining didn't seem to look too good from my initial trial.  It looked like I had a balance and then it was gone.  It looks like there is a lot of hashing there but no community saying they use it anywhere else.

Anyone know the better pools to mine Peercoin at?

Hi, I have an Antminer S1 that I want to mine peer coin with.  I'm successfully mining it at the pool with an Orb right now.  I created
another worker and used:

http://us.multipool.us:3335
name.workername2
x (anypassword).

I applied it, and turned the S1 off and on from it's recent BTC mining, but it doesn't seem to be catching on.

I had a couple older antminers on the pool and now pointing them to one with an easier payout but I have a smaller ASIC at the pool which
is getting 30 gh/z which is much higher than it's rated as.  I have never used a "diff" command in any of my cgminer batch files and I'm wondering if I should use one here.  I'm getting shares rewarded 41%.  Is there something I can do to improve that?

I'm not saying they are bad people.  Most people including myself do things for reasons that are not good or bad morally.
Sometimes it's just because we all have limitations in how far we can think or act.

I think this seems to be the problem with most altcoins.  None of the people want to follow the example of Bitcoin.
I guess they don't want to fathom that right now it would take 10,000 of them to buy a pizza.  

This is virtually the same story with every cryptocurrency, and even to a lesser extent Bitcoin.  It's hard to develop easy to use marketplaces
for coins.  I have a lot to sell, in many different areas, and I've only been at this a few months, mostly focusing on mining and I can tell you
that it isn't that easy to just hook up with a marketplace and say, I'll sell this for any of the top ten coins, Curecoin included, etc.  People hold the coins but they for some foolish reason seem to want to hold on to them.

How many actual Curecoins are minted right now?

Thanks for all the help.  Was reading the whole thread last night and a lot of great history and times.  It seems the best of both worlds, both getting paid for all you mine and playing a type of lottery.   I see that at certain times like now, the DGM will fall faster than I had hoped, and it was hard to keep it above the payout level with a very small ASIC.   So, with older ASICS, one is forced to keep a S1 or better miner here from time to time to stay above that threshold.

My PPS Total Shares for round will turn into BTC Payments for Round when a block is found?  What is the math on that?  I understand that this
figure is only knowable when the block is found.

I hear a lot of experienced people talk about keeping USB miners on pools as a type of lottery.  That is probablistically possible? (I understand not probable).  I wonder how the odds of that are compared to a state lottery.

Someone should make an index fund with the top ten less expensive picks in this thread.

Can you post a link?   Maybe PM if you want to remain anonymous.

To make your pronouncement a little more dramatic, we have a film with it:

So, it will be a little more memorable if what you say is true.

Thanks for the links, never saw that site.  I like you can scroll down and see their moves. 

Where are they going to do that?  They aren't using twitter much.  Maybe they should talk about being
bought out?  I really love how they created something but doesn't seem to be miner/marketplace driven.
