POS Mining and Design

This was originally posted by me on Tumblr.

So what bugs me today is crypto.

As someone very interested in tech and science and sci-fi for that matter, cryptocurrencies are an appealing topic. The one I’m most interested in is ETH for its possibilities not only as a currency but also for the smart contracts.

I got around to start out a few months ago (July ‘17) and got some minor ☁️ mining contracts and have also been mining on my desktop. Well, there a 2 cores on my processor sitting around idle most of the time so why not.

Now the downside to that whole mining business and especially the ☁️ mining contracts for someone environmentally conscious is the amount of electricity burned in proof-of-work mining.

Today I looked around for some proof-of-stake mining options and found some things. One of them looks interesting and I’ll be trying it out.

A proof-of-stake pool that pays out already? Sounds good.

They give you POOLtokens for mentioning them? Sounds great.

They have 45% of the electricity from solar? Sounds excellent.

Now, what about design?
Well, you need to go to their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/POS-Mining-Co-StakePoolco-136398393631970/) to appreciate their logo in its Amazon-’95 glory.

Or I can post it here

Really. I kid you not.

Guys, can you please find a designer that will make you a 2017 logo in exchange for some tokens???
Oh, and while you’re at it, the headshots for the developers on the website? America’s most wanted?

Now let’s 👀 if I still qualify for that Bounty Program. 😃
