Unless SONM gets some real-world job to do (apart from simple server hosting),
it can slowly decay as Golem did. Some months ago there was a rumour that
the storage part of SONM will be on the distributed blockchain storage STORJ.

Did that happen? where does SONM take it's storage space?

Listing on a small, unknown exchange can have bad impact on a coin.
Small exchanges often drop coins out of support, they vanish, "delete" coins.
This can influence a lot on the the trustworthiness of the coin.
Are there any plans for a bigger exchange?

If ROIcoin does not get a decent exchange before the next crypto currency price jump,
then it will miss a huge chance for growth. We are all here, because we think it will grow,
hoping to sell something when the price rises. If it proves to be a stable coin,
which stands strong next to the big names, then it will eventually become one of them.
It has staking, it has mining, it has quick wallet and network, transactions are very fast and very cheap.

Only if it had a decent exchange...

Come on team, you promised a working wallet! This is very important for the development
of this coin. No decentralization exists before a normal wallet exists.

 Another thing it is not fair to share my link for refering people for bounty,
but be limited to 12 referals. I have now refered more than 20 people, but received recognition
for only 12.

Please keep your promise and release the wallet.

Add to that the last fork which punishes the miners.
 Add to that a light node which barely pays off the VPS it sits on.

The crypto is suffering heavily and that is the nature of the blockchain.
It's not stopping just because someone feels insecure and wastes money on electricity.
Many coins will die out, XDNA might be one of them, or it might survive.
It all depends on the investments and the devs.

My vision for the future is big corporations buying out blockchains for personal use.
If those blockchains can transfer coins between different chains and values,
then it MIGHT become some semi-universal form of payment.

Scenario 2: a supply chain of some bussiness adopts a certain coin
and it becomes so big that it gets global.  Example: flower shops.

I know that a lot of people here invested heavily in XDNA and want to reach ROI.
The only way to do it is to invest more or spend time making XDNA popular (as I did).

While difficulty grows, compute power also grows. If difficulty grows too quickly (as it happened recently with all coins due to hype), the tech is left behind
and you need to double the number of compute units. That makes the price go down, and diff to stop growing (as it happens now) or even go down for unpopular coins.
The next wave of new compute hardware will again boost the numbers. It's always a chase game.

I've mever had to use VPN to protect my privacy or other use.
So i had no idea how much does it cost. So I checked and it turns out
it is around $12 per month. Thr price is for a pretty secure VPN with
6000 exit servers. Do you thing Lethean VPN will be able to match the
quality, number of exit nodes and make it cheaper?

As the miner was doing it's thing, here is what caught my attention:

[2018-10-28 20:55:58] [upx.poolbux.com:5555] read error: "end of file"
[2018-10-28 20:55:58] no active pools, stop mining

And then it resumed as if nothing happened.
Any idea why?

If you have VPS, mine something that later can be used on the VPS for hosting a masternode
and staking the coins. The only drawback is that most coins require 1000 of them to start staking.
So you need a few hundred $$ to run a masternode. There are also exceptions, but i never dag deeper
so far. If you find some chap CPU coin which is also stake-able, please post it here.

Hi JCE,

Could you add support for this coin: Uplexa
It is a CPU only minable (so far). It is using a modified Cryptonight V1 (lite) or atleast that is what they say.
It is a brand new one but has a good start. It's aim will be to gather hashrate from IOT devices.
Thanks!

Hi team, as in every new project, there are a lot of questions
and uncertainties.

1. Where is the wallet? How can I transfer coins from one address to the other?
2. Why there is only one pool?
3. How is it decentralized?
4. Which exchanges are planned?
5. You mentioned IOT devices, but I did not see any IOT implementation
in Github. Can you provide a real world example of IOT device which
works on the network?

Found a brand new CPU coin: UPlexa

They are so new that they still offer airdrop for early access users.

Coin is CPU inable only (modified CN V1 algo) and ASIC resistant.

I have not mined it personally yet, but my new Ryzen arrives tomorrow and I will try it on Tuesday.
If anyone else tries it before me, please share your experience.

Hi Pallas

2. bug wallet release
4. hashrate will go up when $$ goes up (e.g. when many LTHN nodes are live)
5. Monero V8 became live on the 11th of October. Lethean was attacked 10 days later. Then Lethean was updated to V8.
If this trend continues (someone wealthy to attempt attacks on smaller networks), and it will, updating on time will be cruical.

Thanks for the detailed information. I'm really sorry to hear that it was that easy to bring a whole network down. Too bad that it took several days for everything to go back to normal. This goves me some important information:

1. The team is trustworthy and cares about the coin.
2. They are quick when things are critical, but not that quick after that.
3. If Lethean is a target for someone, than it must be worth it.
4. The network needs more peers. When a simple node instalation guide is available,
many new nodes will help avoiding such attacks.
5. Regular code updates will be needed from now on.

Hi, can you share some more information on this project? It looks interesting.

Quite an interesting board. As you also pointed out, it is a server board which costs a lot.
And you can always go to any shop or order online a bunch of Vega-s with a cheap 80 bucks mobo
and some risers and you're into mining in no time.

Any new interesting CPU coins?

An announcement that something will be announced, after other things
are announced? This is not instagram and we are not 13. If you
want serious support you must provide serious info.

So far we see only promises and plans. I like the plans you make,
but so far they are not backed up bu real world product.

That results in price drop and much less supporters.

I'll give another chance to the project to see some real
(atleast half done) product. After that I'll move to something more
promising.

Yes, it is now cheaper to buy coins compared to mining or the beginning of the year.
However i would like to know why do you think that crypto will grow at the end of 2018?
Is it a word of god, some analysis you have done, a hunch or because the same happened last year,
or you just hope? A lot of people say the same, but none of them wants to explain why.
I'm not arguing, just asking.

I'm glad development keeps on going. I personally prefer Bitcointalk over Medium, but if it works for you,
Medium it is. Video can be secondary, but much worse for informing people for detailed updates
as these. Whatever you do, just keep updates coming
