Instamine

by Hideo Nakamura
Instamine

Instamine is a term used to describe the rapid and early mining of cryptocurrency. It occurs when miners are able to accumulate large amounts of coins quickly due to unforeseen circumstances or issues in the coin’s code. Instamines can occur for various reasons such as:

1) Unforeseen bugs in the code that allow miners to generate more coins than originally intended;
2) Low difficulty setting which allows miners with less powerful hardware to mine coins at an accelerated rate;
3) Poorly timed launch events that give some users an unfair advantage over others; or,
4) Pre-mined tokens where all available tokens are mined before public sale.
The effect of instamines on a cryptocurrency project can be both positive and negative depending on who benefits from it. Early adopters may benefit if they have access to higher rewards while those joining later may feel cheated out of potential profits. This can lead to feelings of mistrust among investors and speculators, resulting in a devaluation of the currency itself. Additionally, instaminers usually sell their newly acquired coins immediately after mining them which leads to significant downward pressure on its price as supply overwhelms demand.

In order mitigate against instamine risk, developers should take necessary precautions during development such as properly testing for bugs before releasing updates and making sure difficulty adjustments scale according proper algorithm parameters (e.g., Kimoto Gravity Well). Additionally pre-mining should be avoided unless absolutely necessary since it carries with it high levels of suspicion from the community regarding fairness and trustworthiness
