More eco friendly, and saves miners money! I know I sure appreciate only pulling 500W at the wall, rather than 800-1000w I was pulling before.



Thing is, this is not a coin characteristic - more of a miner software "characteristic" with the code being "unable" (?) to be accelerated more with current software implementations for GPUs.



In the start it was "cpu only" due to lack of gpu miner. The fact that the "cpu only" was portrayed as a coin characteristic and not as the state of affairs, was then criticized after the arrival of a gpu miner because "...hey, we thought this was a cpu only coin". Likewise, if the gpu mining software is able to get further acceleration (and increased power draw), people will be "hey, we thought you said the COIN was environmentally friendly"... But it's not about the coin really.

That's true, but currently for miners, they're saving money on their elec bill, and see a faster hash rate than they would with scrypt. True that it's the miner. But if a new GPU miner is released which is faster, but uses more elec, then it's the miners choice I guess. Either way as a miner myself, to me and others it is (currently) a positive. Sure it could change, but for now. It's a plus point That's true, but currently for miners, they're saving money on their elec bill, and see a faster hash rate than they would with scrypt.

He ended it was an interesting quote / outlook:



Quote  Until another coin is created that has its own unique value proposition, the alts will remain as transfer mechanisms for mining bitcoin. If any of the alts really start to pop, you can expect well be building a mine for it.

That made me think of DarkCoin! / DarkSend. It's true, for any alt to survive and even challenge bitcoin it has to have an advantage over it. DarkCoin / DarkSend DOES. And it's the only one to.



This could get exciting! If done right. I have the confidence in it. I was just reading an article about a guy who runs the biggest bitcoin mining opperation in North America. http://www.coindesk.com/inside-north-americas-8m-bitcoin-mining-operation/ He ended it was an interesting quote / outlook:That made me think of DarkCoin! / DarkSend.
