OK I don't get it....
I stumbled on this coin and it's price. WOA!

So you can mine it but you get no reward?
Can you make anything with this coin other than buying it?
I read a little here but it's confusing compared to other alt-coins.
So what really is this? And the purpose of installing a wallet?
Thanks,
Bob
Hey, Bob. Correct: you can 'mine' it but there's no reward.
Say what? Well, the Bottom Line Controversy in cryptos -- this is my opinion, by the way -- is POW versus POS. 42-coin is a veeeery interesting experiment in getting the best of both worlds.
'Can you make anything with this coin other than buying it?' Heck yeh.
You can trade it. We will delight in helping you learn how.
