Now my questions is what happens once the ability to generate decent reward runs out... Who will process the transactions?
In theory people will always continue to generate them so they can collect the transaction fees on each transaction ( .01 BTC)
From the looks of it the exchanges are pretty wild. I think you could make way more just playing the market. If you would have started when the 1st thread was posted last week you could have more than tripled your money let alone 3 to 6 months ago. I could see these coins easily going past $100 per btc or even more as this thing gets traction.
