The shop checkout was smooth af! Thanks for the cheap ledger.
Jacob Morales
Has anyone seen any numbers on GPU mining?
Just ordered a Ledger, thanks NIMIQ
Levi Gutierrez
I think I remember seeing a 1080ti able to pull 350khs
Matthew Butler
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?
Jordan Walker
>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.
Joshua Martin
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.
Sebastian Ross
and its quick af
Wyatt Wright
Would be a fool not to hold a fee 100ks of this as suicide insurance
Asher Brown
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..
Carter Scott
to anyone thinking the cheap ledger is a scam: the first ledger arrived and the guy receiving it made a picture of it.
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.
Mason Price
Guess we will see how it plays out.
Dylan Hernandez
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
Leo Ramirez
>rust where is the rust? i just checked the github and its all in javascript...
William Murphy
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.
Lincoln Hall
Same goes for ETH and it worthless Solidity "smart" contracts. Institutions won't be moving real money through a broken JavaScript variant.
John Price
solidity is just an abstraction for the EVM. it can be made provably secure easily. eth is making moves to wasm now anyway.
Eli Evans
This, unless something magical happens out of the blue.
Thanks, just sold all my NIM. I guess you are more qualified than German engineers with PhD in cybersecurity.
Jacob Mitchell
>PhD in cybersecurity. >writes coin in javascript yeah... no.
Joseph Powell
they wrote it in javascript to have it easily integrated into websites.
Austin Williams
this doesnt even make sense you blithering retard. >what is an rpc api
Henry Perry
These guys still think people will want to use crypto as an actual currency. Wow, so 2017 of them.
Nolan Hall
Still better than using utility tokens.
Jason Powell
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).
