Glad your issue with AGX didn't taint your adoration of this coin

The issue is that right now the coin is being heavily mined and dumped which will continue for awhile until mining has slowed down near it's finish.

Unfortunately like all coins (even BTC) that are setup with such a high inflation rate (around 7-10% per day now with NAUT) it will be hard to raise the price until it's fully mined out.
A good example is MYR. It could never get it's price to stay over 500-600 satoshi. Great innovation but poor specs.

PoS coins and limited mining run coins are the future of Crypto and the key to holding value in it.
Most investors in Crypto know this and will not put money in new coins that are mined heavily. It's just asking to lose money.
The market cap will rise (with the increased "shares") but the coins price will stay flat or drop until mining is over.
There may be surges in price but that will lead to heavy mining to crush the price in the surge.

NAUT is a great idea and has excellent press and backers but would have a better outcome if the coin was forked to accommodate a considerably faster mining reduction and PoS.

I do not own at this time but I am posting this due to the publicity the coin has and how ordinary people will perceive the coin, and crypto in general, when the value drops or fails to rise.

I wish that people would also mention in these arguments the best reason to stop mining: the sheer waste of it. I love that PoS is becoming more common because the incredible waste of resources is shameful.

but this time I agree with you Yoyo. except for the bit where you say investors won't put money in mined coins. people are putting money into just about anything on this forum sadly, but that's a whole other conversation.

very good post

That is just crazy hippie crystal gripping nonsense!  It's my electricity not yours or anybody else's.  What I choose to use it on is my business, not yours.  If you don't like using power to mine, then don't.  Don't tell me or anyone else that because you don't like it, that it is somehow shameful. 

Long live capitalism and freedom!

The Get NAUTi t-shirts idea is great, the rest I am not so sure about. The only REAL way to add value to a currency imho is to sell something that people want, but accept only that currency and hence increase it's demand. And the more people want that thing, the more value your currency will have. You can think of the Petrodollar system as a large scale example. Imagine for a second that the only currency in which you could trade petrol was NAUT... see what I mean?

NAUT about to get a massive erection here in a day or so
