Buyer beware. The miners of this thing are doing a coordinated propaganda effort. Why the coin is stupid: uses "mining" to distribute the coins, but the network is secured with Ethereum miners. If you understand how blockchain is supposed to work, you'll immediately recognize the towering stupidity of this concept.
On the other hand, this market is about 90% stupid, so you might wind up making money, via the greater fool principle. Just understand that is *all* this is.
Full disclosure: I mined this thing for a while myself a few weeks ago -- I have nothing to gain by telling you this.
So glad I bought at 0.0003 and dumped my entire stack on you faggots at 0.002

The team is forward about the fact that mining is just meant to secure the "decentralized distribution" of the coin, rather than any network. So the question becomes: do you believe PoW mining is worth ensuring a fair, decentralized token distribution system? Maybe, maybe not. But it's an interesting idea to "solve" the current ICO problem. There's a great article that the SIAcoin team wrote about how ICOs have a completely fucked up incentives system for the founders. I could go on about how the trend of negative attitudes towards ICOs bodes well for this token, but I'll just sound like a shill (I'm sure I already do).

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE MODS?????

I don't think you know what you need to know in order to form an informed opinion.
OK. I read the article. I didn't see anything fundamentally new there. We may just have to agree to disagree. The original Bitcoin paper, by Satoshi, explains the point of mining: to secure the network. Miners get paid in new coins and transaction fees. In exchange, the network is safe from fraudulent transactions. Distribution is just a logical consequence, not the underlying reason.
And when I said there is a sudden explosion of propaganda: obviously there is.

Its 100% the miners trying to generate buyer.
Nothing wrong with the coin if you are interested in mining but paying over 12 cents per is plain retarded.

Do you realise how stupid this made you sound? Keep fudding brainlet.

this is a pure shitcoin

what the fuck is decentralized distribution faggot.
nice use of buzzwords faggot.
Wyatt Garcia
Everything I said is factually true.
Ryder Mitchell
Are you retarded? It's not even buzzwords, it's the perfect description of it. It's being distributed without a centralized issuer, i.e. a team selling the tokens via ICO.
I'm not even for 0xBitcoin, but you are just retarded. Wow.
Brody Ramirez
Distributed by a non-centralized entity, you fucking moron.
