Again:
raiblockscommunity.net miner is distributing private funds.
It means we must buy XRB before distribute them. It means we are not getting XRB for free like when the raiblocks faucet was running (now is closed forever because all remaining funds have been burned).
It won't use captcha or advertising because fight bots and pools was too hard and we don't want to run in the same troubles again for the moment.
raiblockscommunity.net mixer is already developed but we are waiting for some factors to release it.
Is raiblockscommunity.net miner is a sort of ICO like thing ? As you said we have to buy XRB first ( just we buy any coins in ICO) and then trade with on exchanges. The faucet has ended forever so this project is no more unique ?
The original dev created the project for the people and did not take money for the coins like in other projects. Can you tell me how this is now any different from any ordinary ICO ?
No. It is not ICO.
It simply means
they as in raiblockscommunity.net devs have to buy XRB before giving it to
you.
and again this not really
"distributing" but actually
"paying/sharing" you mining income from coin-hive
so, from recent happenings I take it the hard/soft fork didn't and won't happen.
mikerow and drizzt decided to create miners site for supporting XRB and make use the original XRB coin & chain
this is actually somewhat good news, we have another usage for XRB and a way to earn XRB
I suggest the original team acknowledges this but with certain clarification and clear lines of separation
Original devs team could call them supporter and/or miner service that uses XRB as payment
and make sure to explain that it is unofficial and will not take any responsibilities
