I looked into nano because it kept getting mentioned. Seems like the only way to acquire it is to buy it from someone who already has it. Somehow, that isn't very motivating.
- robotmay 6y agoOriginally it was distributed in a very fair manner, compared to other coins; it had a faucet which required captcha solving to get coins: https://medium.com/nanocurrency/the-nano-faucet-c99e18ae1202 https://medium.com/nanocurrency/the-nano-faucet-c99e18ae1202 Now, yes, you have to exchange for it from other currencies, as there is a finite supply which has already been issued.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoYeah, see, finite supply entirely in the hands of early adopters doesn't really sound very legit to me.
- robotmay 6y agoI'm not sure what other options work out better though. BTC is now only mineable by large groups with tons of hardware, which seems less fair to me. At least with the faucet approach everyone was equal in terms of what they could acquire. Personally I didn't use it anyway, I just traded for the coin like anything else.
