I don't actually like to participate in such an annoying project trying to make claiming difficult for participatants.
The annoying part of it is when projects would allow people mine for several months without telling them ab initio what chain they would list on. If from the beginning I know a project is listing on something like ETH, I always avoid that no matter how promising it's.
The success of a cryptocurrency project depends on so many factors.
The major factor to the best of my knowledge is community. If a project has a strong community backing it, it hardly fails. That's what we've with Bitcoin. We find that too with Dogecoin, XRP, Shib, and even the latest one – Notcoin. Community will hype any project and more cash will flow in that direction as investment. Such action will strengthen the project the more.
