1.12 Million pre-mine and people are still mining this.. Can't see this taking off myself
Yep. So long as the pre-mine is used to grow the coin interest and value and not dumped, I am ok with it. I've seen a few coins without the incentives just die. If it doesnt fly, it will likely be some other reason.
Just a quick thank-you to the developers and pool owners for continued support and updated code.
Franko was a fairly smooth launch, especially compared to some of the others recently. It did get lost in all the announcements. A real exchange (c'mon cryptsy) would be a big help to finally grease the trading badly needed.
I continue to mine it - the p2pools run great - presently on coinminer.net:9777/static with the v0.6.3.2-g3aaa7ba-beta build.
If anybody wants to trade, pm me. I also might contribute to a faucet.
This is definitely a good time to learn about this up and coming form of transactions.
I would recommend mining and trading a bit just to get a better handle on all this works. The experience may pay off when clients begin asking about this stuff.
Pretty sure its not going to work. I got an old 1800 that is not even in the machine.
But its not a waste. If you decide to invest a bit for an OpenCL card, you may want a secondary card for using your machine during mining. Intense mining on a GPU that is also used to drive your display generally makes your interface choppy or non-existant.
