The shop checkout was smooth af! Thanks for the cheap ledger.

Has anyone seen any numbers on GPU mining?

Just ordered a Ledger, thanks NIMIQ

>>11767271

I think I remember seeing a 1080ti able to pull 350khs

Can these nim ledgers hold other tokens? Sorry I'm retarded but I would appreciate a serious answer. Why are they cheap and not being sold directly by ledger?

>Can these nim ledgers hold other tokens?

Yes, the only difference is that it has the Nimiq branding on the side. It operates just like any other Nano S.

>Why are they cheap and not being sold directly by ledger?

Nimiq team ordered a bunch of Nimiq branded ones as a promotional thing. They're selling cheap to encourage potential buyers to purchase some NIM and try the smooth checkout process for themselves.

They also gave away 1000 NIM during the blockchain summit that you could use immideately to buy a Tshirt from the swag shop. Clever marketing.

and its quick af

Would be a fool not to hold a fee 100ks of this as suicide insurance

1 mil here

but did any1 actually seen the screen shot of miner? saying like.. wallet initialized for wallet xyz and so on? i mean ive heard a lot about those GPU miners yet didn't see any proof of it... as ive heard they shut down botnet and google did ban accounts. yet im not totally sure..

to anyone thinking the cheap ledger is a scam:
the first ledger arrived and the guy receiving it made a picture of it.

Kek this shilling is pathetic

So the coin that was supposed to be mined by individuals, with CPU power, thus allowing it to be spread evenly, is now gonna be mined with GPUs and the richer will get richer.

How is this good for Nimiq? That defeats the coin's purpose.

Guess we will see how it plays out.

>>11768660
I bought 200k purely because the market cap is small as fuck yet it still has a normie friendly usecase and branding. Though if the bear market continues for another year or 2, this could fade into obscurity

>rust
where is the rust? i just checked the github and its all in javascript...

>>11769703
anyone that buys this is fucking retarded. javascript isnt even a statically typed language. i 100% guarantee you that there is a bug somewhere in the way blocks and transactions are parsed/verified.

>>11769736
Same goes for ETH and it worthless Solidity "smart" contracts. Institutions won't be moving real money through a broken JavaScript variant.

>>11769768
solidity is just an abstraction for the EVM. it can be made provably secure easily. eth is making moves to wasm now anyway.

>>11769673
This, unless something magical happens out of the blue.

And i hold 800K of this shitcone.

>>11769736
Thanks, just sold all my NIM.
I guess you are more qualified than German engineers with PhD in cybersecurity.

>>11769832
>PhD in cybersecurity.
>writes coin in javascript
yeah... no.

>>11769854
they wrote it in javascript to have it easily integrated into websites.

>>11769875
this doesnt even make sense you blithering retard.
>what is an rpc api

These guys still think people will want to use crypto as an actual currency. Wow, so 2017 of them.

>>11769909
Still better than using utility tokens.

>>11769888
An RPC API would not fit the bill for a P2P architecture, the principle of Nimiq is that you can run a node directly into your browser without going through a third party to interact with the blockchain, they use WebRTC for that.
Besides if you dig a bit in the Core you will see that not everything is in Js, that said there is nothing wrong with JavaScript as long as you know wtf you are doing, most of the bad reputation of JS comes from Pajeet web devs, the real burden is that it's exponentially hard to maintain and release new features on without tremendous testing (hell why they are porting on Rust in parallel).
