« on: November 15, 2013, 05:19:43 pm »I was hoping to help the project with my programming skills, but at the actual rate I'm getting almost nothing, so I'm thinking about just giving up just because I don't like to work for free in this kind of programs.
I entered too late, after the mining difficulty was artificially increased by 32x, so I lost the train.
Good luck in your adventure, but don't expect much more people to enter your project right now. What you have now is what you'll get. And I suspect most of the people into your project are more motivated by greed than actually understanding of the good points of your ideas.
if you are as good and helpful as you think you are, earn by working. there are lots of bounties that require attention. take a look.
Why would you want to build a faster miner when you won't have any use of if yourself? Just driven by hope that you will get some donations? I'd also like to help, however it's not that motivating when you just have 1 PTS.
I know you just think that I'm being bitter, and you are right. I really like the whole idea of PTS and I'm really sad that I missed my chance.
You sound like someone very sad they missed the chance to buy BTC at $6.00 and GPU miners were starting to dominate.
I bought my first bitcoins at $11.05; I never mined them. While it would have been nice to buy them cheaper, it's worked out well for me. My bitcoin holdings are not nearly enough to retire on, but I do not feel sorry for myself for not buying earlier.
I bought my most recent 0.16 BTC at $321.92. As long as I perceive that BTC will increase in value compared to USD, buying bitcoin is beneficial at any price, even though I would prefer to buy cheaper bitcoins.
The same can be said for ProtoShares, which influenced why and how I invested in them. As long as you perceive that ProtoShares will continue to increase in value, they are worth buying at any price within your means.
