One thing to remember...
This is by my observations of trades. CAP coins are being held the longest. (Compared to crap coins, that are all sold ASAP with every BTC move.) Thus, only those few short-sellers are listing to get rid of them for the rising BTC. Funny thing is, they are devaluing the coin 10x to get the 2x gain on BTC. Thus, morons. lol.
Not to mention, this is the ONLY client I quickly get 15+ connections to.. thus, a lot of people are "POSing" the investments, not mining.
I have swiped up 48,000 coins at a steal, on cryptsy. This lowered the loss from my 27,000 I purchased when the coins were high. Now my average coin price is 0.000045 as opposed to the 0.00015 I paid for the initial 27,000 coins. Not including all that I am continually mining, to keep out of the hands of short-sellers. I keep buying every short-sale I can. (BTC I earned from trading and investing in mcxNOW and mcxFEE-shares.)
Thus, buy every short-sold coin, at your gain, and their loss. The coins will rise like mad when BTC starts to fall. However, BTC will fall only about 50% while CAPs rise back up 1000%, to the previous ground. That is a lot more BTC you can buy at that point, selling at the higher level.
Now, if I could just find a reliable source to sell me hardware or art supplies, for BTC.
Trade tip... Now that BTC is high, and CAP are low, you buy CAP with BTC, not sell. lol. When BTC drops and CAP rises, that is when you sell... Selling again when BTC rises, to buy more CAPs. Until you own everything!
Still, I am having the major issue with the client not even showing for almost five minutes, after it has started. (Doesn't show on the screen, but the icon is there, frozen.) Sending transactions seems real tedious, as it does the same slow-down. Though only takes about a minute for the (not responding) frozen program to begin working and let me know it didn't just crash, before I can send the next transaction.
Might just be a windows thing, something like compile optimized settings wrong or database bottlenecking, on a windows system.
Good thoughts. It seems the sell off of Alts is slowing. I see some gaining ground over btc, well see how long that lasts, but encouraging none the less.
As far as your client, there are a few things. #1 I wouldn't mine and stake on the same wallet. They compete for the same resources, slows down both, and the gui. #2 When sending, it is slower with mined and or many small coins. As all the blocks have to be assembled before they are sent, again this is on the same thread as the gui.
I am working on these issue with HBN as well. One approach I am taking is the use of multiple wallets. You can bring off line wallets online, with the gui still running. Let them stake then take them off. It is still a WiP but the rpc commands are in place. Since HBN is forked off CAPs, it could be added fairly easily, should be an easy diff change.
Better would be to get they gui and mining on separate cores. A bit more difficult.
With HBN and MW2, I mine for a bit, till I get a few k, then load up a hold wallet, push them there. Once I get a few of those, I zap into a separate stake wallet, and leave them there for a while. Eventually I will start taking them offline into storage and only bringing them to stake, then back to the vault...
