Judging by the graph in the article, it was 1 exabyte in late April, under a month ago. Wow.
- scohesc 5y agoThere's been an absolute metric crap-ton of interest generated since the media has started picking it up and taking about it 2-3 weeks ago. It seems like it's one of the first crypto offerings that relies not on constant CPU/GPU usage, but just proof of "storage" from what I understand. Very interesting.

- guimoz 5y agoYes. And miners tend to hold their coins so the supply remains moderately low. A bit like the OPEC.
- hn8788 5y agoI came across a subreddit, I forget its name though, thats sole purpose was pumping up new cryptocurrencies, hoping it would catch the attention of casual crypto investors. They'd pick a day to sell off whatever cryptocurrency they had pumped up, then repeat it was some other no-name cryptocurrency.
