only think I can say is be careful of cryptopia, they have skycoin on manual deposit/withdrawal and take a LONG ASS TIME (weeks sometimes) to do it.

no its just an actual project with actual development, which takes time and problem solving. it's literally the opposite of 99% of cryptos, which ARE scams.

Not a miner. Why would they call it a miner if it doesnt mine? Why charge 10k usd for a $200 piece of hardware?

Get scammed, skytards.

>> No.7754021

>>7753796
it performs the function of distributing the coins that mining perform in proof of work. it also performs the function of proof of work, but it's also a true distributed cryptographic web-of-trust networking protocol. it's also classified as a utility token so you can legally get dividends without being classified as a security.the coinhours don't have value yet because the utility is just reaching maturity, so they don't have functionality yet

>> No.7754235

The 1 BTC for the miner is fully rebated in SKY, minus $600 in hardware costs.

>> No.7754433

>>7753796
You actually only pay 600 foe the hardware and get the rest of the balance back in sky.

>> No.7754472

>>7754235

But sky is worthless, its not a rebate. Its like bitconnect paying its holders in bcc instead of btc.

>> No.7754602

>>7754472
guess what? they only charge 1 btc to stop people like you from buying one. you can fucking set up a skywire node on your computer right now. but if you want to participate in the testnet you need to be serious about it. that's what the "miners" are for. the hardware architecture is going to evolve quickly like bitcoin did from cpu all the way to asics.

>> No.7755134

>>7754472
Worthless? You earn 1 Coin Hour per hour for every 1 SKY you hold - that's 8760 Coin Hours per year. A small investment in SKY means that when when the mainnet is launched, your holdings will generate enough Coin Hours that you will never have to pay for internet access ever again. A large investment means that you can be a provider of Coin Hours for the millions of SKYless brainlets who will have to buy Coin Hours in order to access the Skywire Meshweb.

>> No.7755416

It's either a scam or run by morons, either way will fail.

The fact they've centralized this new crypto version of TOR is enough for me to realize it'll fail. They literally state coin distribution is decided upon by a panel of anonymous developers...


If they released the coin 0% pre mined with software which allowed anyone to create their own exit node PLUS a ethereum style mining algorithm (bandwidth instead of computing power) that would be a legit version of TOR.

Honestly something like that would quickly overtake TOR. TOR is slow because of few exit nodes/ no incentive for exit nodes but by introducing an incentive through monetary value the network would be overflowed with nodes thus speeding it up

>> No.7755633

I've never seen Skycoin legit shilled here, because shills know that they'd get shut down in an instant.

It's not even vapourware. It's just a scam through and through.
