Who can compete with this
The reality is if there is a chance to profit, people are going pony up the hardware or buy the hashing power to accumulate as much as they can.
Before I share a very short story... With ROIcoin and huge thanks to Ray Dillingers MIDAS, no matter how big the whale, only 86,400 coins are going to get out each 24 hour period, roughly... The problem with the whales is the difficulty level goes sky high, which then brings in a pool, to let the i5s hash away...
The only way to compete with a whale is to become one. It can be done, even on a budget. My best friend liked HP based i7 3770s, good bang for the buck at the time. Nothing fancy, just a solid hasher at a good price point that many could be accumulated, multiplying his hashing rate to dominate. (This may have changed, please do your own research when deciding what hardware you want to load up on.)
Me? I love blade servers! They stack and rack nice, parts dirt cheap and the HP GL380 G7s are built like tanks. But it has to be a 12 core (dual) E56xx (6-core) processors with 24 GB of RAM and modest 10k drives. I pick these up off EBay for less than $200 each with free shipping. Load Win10 Pro with a $4 license from an EBay guy in the UK. But that's me..., the CPU architecture is older, but I can generally get 300H/s from each box. Stack 8 on a 42U rack with a KVM and LCD and it fits perfect in the corner and doubles as a furnace. Again, I am not recommending these, but I like them because I can always re-purpose them later for a home server to sell off. And I find them easy to manage. Yeah, there is better hardware out there. But its the cost of each hash that I am looking at and its what I can afford for now.
What I am getting at is that a hash race is still an arms race, CPU, GPU, ASIC. We had no idea and feel so blessed for the events and tremendous community interest and support over the last 3 days. Each and every one of you is investing and invested in ROIcoin, to one degree or another. There are many readers on the forum in the shadows... I guarantee, they got the hardware and they have a plan. But it took them time to arm up, learn the business, and when an opportunity arose, made a decision on whether or not to power up the rigs. Which I believe occurred mid Sunday morning.
It was a long road getting here, and yet the road is just beginning as we now lay plans to evolve and grow ROIcoin into more than just a market asset. Hopefully moving into that field of competition for a usable coin in the real world. It is a long road ahead with a coin that has great potetial. And while the difficulty may increase in the meantime, you still have time to shop for your boxes to give yourself an edge, one step closer to your next target.
So don't despair. Have faith in yourself, do your homework and invest your resources wisely. And by all means, ask questions... Maybe one of those quite super hashers lurking in the shadows will come out and share a few secrets.
*** Again, I am not endorsing the above mentioned hardware. Do your research, maybe you can afford higher end hashing or maybe Nicehash is the route for you...
