The first thing I want is for amDOGE to clarify as to what happened to the community PND fund and why they suddenly abandoned the coin.

Can't really say I have followed the development since discovering the coin was still alive.

Just hold, mang.

Those losses will remain unrealised until you sell.

Interesting to see 250gh/s on the network but less than 1mh/s on the pools.

The constant push of Bitcoin is keeping a lot of altcoins down lately. Given the supply, it's already difficult to maintain satoshi levels in the hundreds, especially when there are other coins with similar supply with more convenient features and uses.

The coin's future is certainly crippled by its troubled past.

It'll need a lot of improvements and new features if it wants to succeed, especially in today's crypto world.

Would you mind (obviously not in actual detail for personal reasons) explaining what happened when you did suddenly just disappear from PND a few years back?

What ever happened to the funds that were accumulated via the community with the plan of sending them to a charity to benefit pandas?

Perhaps if storage becomes an issue, they could work alongside Sia somehow. :^)

The death of PND began after amDOGE stopped replying to messages on IRC and then randomly disappeared, not to be heard again. No warning, no 'hey, real life stuff coming up' messages or anything. Just disappeared.

I was there since launch, so it's very weird hearing of amDOGE being back on the project.

So is amDOGE working on this again?

From what I recall, amDOGE straight up abandoned PND one day in IRC after days of silence.

Constantly linking exchanges to every poster is only going to put people off of investing.

Proof-of-Stake kinda defeats the purpose of creating a currency that is supposed to be used.

If everyone is too busy staking and trying to create more Sia, less people are actually using the coin's features (file hosting).

"Trust has to be built. I will operate Poloniex with honesty and integrity and be as transparent as possible when answering your questions. I believe this is the only true way to earn trust."

Poloniex is operated in the exact opposite way.

Charging $2499 for an ASIC is most definitely centralising the mining.

At least with GPU mining everyone has a chance and it remains less centralised. ASICs will always fall into the hands of the already-wealthy.

You can't really make the argument that it's okay because Bitcoin does it, when Bitcoin is currently crippled due to a monopoly-winning sack of shit (Jihan Wu).

If you take a look at Bitcoin and China's major ASIC farms (literal warehouses) and think "Yeah, this decentralisation thing is going great!" then you have the wrong idea completely.

So what is the point in decentralised storage when you centralise the mining?

I'm really liking the platform so far.

Community seems very friendly, and the platform itself performs wonderfully. As a frequent writer, I'll probably use it a lot.

That's a bit weird given it's a pretty good coin with far better prices than others on the exchange.

Surprised this still isn't on Poloniex.

I'm having an issue mining Dash on Suprnova, which is strange given the pool used to work just fine for me. I have a small amount of coins already mined on the pool.

I recently started (attempted) to mine Dash again, but the software (ccminer rc3, have also tried other versions of ccminer) doesn't seem to be accepting any shares (nor is it rejecting any). I've tried other pools with the same config, just the URL and port changed, and it works just fine. Accepted shares just as usual.

Normally I would just mine on the pool that works and be done with it, but given I already have some coins and other pools have absurdly high withdrawal fees, I'd rather mine at Suprnova.

Has anyone else had this issue? The software detects the hardware, it raises the temps, detects blocks, just doesn't actually accept any shares.

Aside from Suprnova, are there any other pools?

Given how violent some alts have been in terms of volume and movement, I really wouldn't look at them the same way you used to.

Bitcoin has been steady for a while and many alts are still pushing. Things have changed.
