That mining would exist with or without blackcoin, and blackcoin is not contributing any additional mining of its own.
Ah really? Miners and mining resources goes where profit is, without thinking too much what they are actually mining. There are sooo many people right now mining "BTC" just to get paid in BC.
As you know, mining BTC without an ASIC now is pretty much useless. Now thanks to BC it makes sense again. Thats more electricity, not less .
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not just trolling here.
Trolling for what? I'm holding several BC and i'm one of the few merchants listed on blackcoin.co here
I like this coin and I don't want the community to get too enthusiastic on something that simple isn't 100% true. Is not green. You know what is green? a tree. Not a crypto-currency . You can say that is better than POW, I give you that. But there you stop.
I just say you need to be transparent if you want to convince the crypto-community (and not just this thread). I started mining in 2010, I kind of know what we are talking about. But if you don't believe me go ask miners , get out of this thread and see if what I'm saying isn't true. BC current profitability is making people not only mine more, but buy more hardware also . I repeat, go and ask on IRC
