We are saying the same thing I just think in different ways. I just didn't see why we should promote hashcow. But that's been removed thankfully.
I don't say to promote it explicitly. But miners are essential, even if they come in a form of multipool hords.
Yes, auto-switching pools with instant auto-sell feature really act like a cancer of the scrypt altcoin world.
But shouldn't forget that they are essentially just doing the same thing what many people would do manually or with custom scripts.
They are only take it to the extremes and rushing the inevitable.
And also don't forget that these limitless ridiculous coin launches we live through day by day are just that: actually ridiculous.
Those are the real cancer and this process which is only accelerated by the multipools is kind of in immune reaction.
The crypto world is asking for things like moltipools to cleans it from the endless line of coins.
The coins which prove worthy and live this through, are the winers with their shareholders.
So...
You should not declare war against an enemy you can't fight off (multipools). Even more so, if that act can also piss of others (miners in general - including multipool users).
Hashrate is essential. Not only the hashrate, but a continuously growing network if you want to see a continuously rising price.
And I don't think there are enough cowboys out there anymore to achieve this without bringing in any miners in any form.
42 is a very interesting coin, but no coin can be that interesting nowadays. There is a "big thing" literally every day.
