would it not be worthwhile, do you think, to leverage
*this* opportunity
The problem is that '*this* opportunity' absolutely screams pyramid scheme and should not be trusted without solid verification that the operators of this mining pool are making the investments they claim to be making.

Currently Bitcoin is an insane gold-rush bubble that is frivolous and wasteful but it has the potential to balance out into the secure, distributed, democratized digital currency it was designed to be and I think that is something worth spending energy on.
indeed... would it not be worthwhile, do you think, to leverage *this* opportunity... such that the funds were available to *create* an eco-responsible coin that is *properly* libre, properly peer-to-peer distributed, and so on?
look at what i put out only a few weeks ago, we analysed at least two alt-coins that, whilst the people behind it had their hearts in the right places they *still* did not fundamentally get it.
if we don't do this "properly" then those alt-coins will be all that is available... oh and bitcoin. is that something we really really want?
gone midnight here (julie) i'll write a more complete reply tomorrow.
