Guys, no need to belittle each other, believe in it, or don't. It's pretty simple. I don't hold a ton of Flik, I bought, sold, and bough half back and made a profit. What I have now, I'll hold. The Flik team are currently attending and presenting at AMF this week - in case you don't know what AMF is check out: http://americanfilmmarket.com/Does this guarantee success? No. But at least they are active, and trying to push the project forward. Let's face it, the majority of startups fail. Crypto or non-crypto alike. Like any investment, there is risk. Especially with crypto. If you invest in a crypto startup, adopt the mindset of an angel investor. You may lose the lot, or you might make a mint. The key thing is making wise decisions and researching them.

The worst decision they made was to release ASICs for the coin. I know atleast 3 close friends who completely left the project as soon as they learned about it. I wish I followed their footsteps.
Why? If it's a proprietary, custom design, available for anyone to order, it can still be a level playing field and not necessarily BTC centralization type of situation. Plus GPU hashing is incredibly power and heat intensive, making it far more eco friendly. The fact that it's proprietary itself is a big turn off for a lot of people. I understand it is available to everyone but lets be realistic here. The average crypto hobbiest isn't going to invest money into a asic that will devalue in price faster than a brand new car. That deters a huge part of the population away from a coin that was once mineable by anyone with a computer and internet access. The whole point of a crypto asset/global ledger is to be atainable by everyone, not by a few who are well enough to risk a investment loss by purchasing said asic. You make a good point but at the same time, to mine with GPUs at a meaningful hashrateyou still need fairly expensive equipment. Equipment that is likely to fail much faster - like one of my EVGA 1070 GTX FTWs that burst into flames a few days ago, after less than three months of use - so that's $500 down the drain. Also, based on the electricity rates where I live ($0.19 Kw/h), 50% of the cost is balanced out just on the running costs over a year.

Hello!
Asking for some advice from experienced miners...
I've been running a mining rig using EVGA GTX 1070 FTWs, keeping their temperatures under 75C. This morning, one of them caught fire. They've been running for 3 months, with occasional breaks. Have I been pushing them too hard, or should this still fall under the warranty? I'm assuming it's probably the former, but this is my first rig, so I'm not sure what the normal tolerance should be.
Would appreciate any advice.

Cannot understand. 1AUD = 0.77 USD for now... So 0.088 AUD = 0.068 USD.
All prices were USD to it was 0.088c USD not AUD Well, if it was USD, I'm still 761.xxxx short of what I should have received. I'd like to think that it's an honest mistake that the team will address, but it doesn't inspire confidence. SO if you go to: https://presale.powerledger.io/stats.phpCheck your figure there. Do they align with what you received vs what you sent I'd like to, but I get the following error when I do "Ethereum address or email was not found, please try again". I used the same email address, and ETH address. Ahh, did you buy during the pre-sale or the main sale? If you bought during main sale I beleive the price was closer to 10 or 11c USD where the 1st pre-sale was 0.088 USD Check your balance here if you bought during main sale: https://mainsale.powerledger.io/stats.phpThanks Gunna, I can see my transaction on that link, but how long did the pre-sale last? I thought I'd qualified, my transaction was on processed on : 16-09-2017 at 01:53:52 UTC Did the pre-sale last less than 8 days, or was I sipping too many tinnies at the time? The presale lasted until they sold out I beleive. I got mine on 29th August so I think it lasted 10 days then a week later went into main sale but don't hold me to that. Thanks for the clarification, appreciate the help.

Evaluating the status of a project by the price charts vs Bitcoin is a nosense, as Bitcoin has increased by 7x its value in the current year. It is like stating that you are driving backwards in a highway just because a faster car passed you by. If you compare the price vs FIAT, the value of SC has been moving in the range of 0.35-0.5 cents of dollar for several months.
Well put, and while I said that there may be cause for concern if the price plummets in December, it's on the understanding that Bitcoin's value tanks after the Segwti2x drama plays out, and people reinvest in alts. I'm invested in Sia - otherwise I wouldn't have ordered an Obelisk
