I will keep my mouth shut.
Don't! Do not let the clueless people stop you. They download a wallet, see the balance, and think that's all that is to a cryptocurrency. People, really: Invest one hour of reading per week
Of course, a coin needs a strong network to be secured. 51% attacks (= I cannot trust transactions), getting slow like a snail (after multipool leaves), or direct sabotage ... are only a few of the dangers, with such low hashrate.
You had a very valid point there.
I already pointed it out, when I noticed the same thing, in posting #97
The hashpower on this coin is really really low.
How do you want to secure the network?
and suggested to switch on the mining in the wallet in
posting #98 and
#100For another experimental coin without block rewards, the dev is simply paying himself for some mining right now:
It is being mined, and the more that mine it the better. For now I'm paying for mining rig contracts out of my own pocket, with a larger amount set aside in case we need a big ramp up on hashing.
until in the future, there will probably be a small block reward introduced, to reward miners a little bit more than just through tx fees.
coin2 needs to have a network mining it! I like that joel is aware of that:
I have asked the community via FB to setgenerate true 32
That 32 is the number of threads? Cores? On the one windows machine that I tried it out on,
setgenerate true 1 is definitely the way - because a higher number disturbed the GPUmining (which can be unfortunately affected by parallel CPUmining on ALL cores; but as long as one core is not busy, all is cool. Try it out!). Also laptop owners don't want their system to overheat, and no one wants to be slowed down when working on their computer.
If that is sorted, I guess many people can be inspired to join into the collective mining effort, to keep our coin safe. That is IF it is easy.
What is the command for the coin2.conf file which has the same effect like setgenerate true 1 ? Because then it does not need to be done manually after each start. You could just publish a conf file on the website, which makes a wallet into a micro miner (low hashrate, little CPU use). Or two conf-files, and one with
setgenerate true 32. Deliver it in the next update of course.
I googled, and found that
"setgenerate true -1 (for windows) and gen=1 (for linux) is a full (core) feature."
Perhaps we can find out more about that all together?
Anyways, this collective solution by "good will mining" is an interesting attempt to try out.
If 100 out of 1000 wallets do that, that's already quite a bit of additional hashrate!

Edit: Oh, and
there is a pool, very good!
