In crypto world is a lot of altcoins but SPR must have potential if so many people hate it and put such effort to reveal this hate. Someone feel threatened by SPR.
Actually, from my point of view, quite the opposite.
I think pools play an important role. I also think solo mining is important.
If SPR can back-up its claims, then it brings something new to crypto. I don't think solo mining adds a lot of value on its own, but its an important contribution.
Someone has challenged the central feature of this project. I don't see that challenge standing up yet, but you can't just ignore the challenge.
