Nothing could be further from the truth. Mining/Minting operations have little/nothing to do with the viability of the network itself. It's a novel way of dealing with inflation, but, if anything, the easy availability of cheap and fast GPUs is accelerating adoption. Opportunists will quickly drive the profit from generating down to almost exactly that of the power costs, but that's to be expected. They are also the driving force behind a free market. Or do you think they are killing those, too? :) - -jp - -- ======================================================== Jeffrey Paul -datavibe- sneak@datavibe.net +1 (800) 403-1126 http://sneak.datavibe.net 5539AD00 DE4C42F3 AFE11575 052443F4 DF2A55C2 "Virtue is its own punishment." ======================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJM4YhvAAoJEAUkQ/TfKlXCncQP/0KEXywE1TutRcbI2/H+y4bm TYuLbUcY6PLGIS/EbiDP9DIeLCnwbs/Hq7I3JHrjCQash3CbYppqFEyyYlBaY/1U okOE9O6Im1Ja2drBFv8KB8X4vUs7YnFW9iRWGYZtAwWs3JNoy4IiCx5zUkenwvyx FdBX/OhWEPNzN9RWYnFtbH0sodBmbV8f7hiQFhpXEnaq+vQhOwwR3eNNmU+/G/lc zDnQ1H8t1DEoe4clOz5NCVPx2xIgdCswfC+AClYG/dZ12auNuKP008Wd6g/dHp2H s1xV2cZIrWnU3kcltzBnJD+qcgc4k6RH5vFUo1RXv9NDLbak+FufITLhP7K7BrWu LtOyhRLQx/tuS0Ac9u/fEjeDir3jdp8z/TvTn99y5xhFXy2JpLv0RJ+Kru0M8cry cjlsGT56DdoGXyhr5kDolH4ty03ZSMFBx2kvujWhxt1T+MxNLueuR/TnvEY2qrpF AlSS93sa7OqrmHeyj0nyHHe23igjrcaDlFDd1RLK2pNzQaLBcTNxF9BzcRZWUyDk g5Rr0B4Gh3GYddHtHjmQypJgDE2XzJU+WP39sHXGcCmB2hf9FHk0SBQytBIl5KRr DFaePo7CpnVjfZuPZw4AAOl21lYjCY7gRcyMqhzJOATHp7+5vDFok9L2uxiVvdT8 08XWv2ouDYcdLePrzx+w =7oPz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
