Each person can mine and attain their level of\n\u003einfluence. This not only avoids the side payment, but earns the person\n\u003emoney.\n\nThe problem, is that, the rate of conversion of Bitcoin-\u003e hashrate is different for different people.\n\nFor some, it's very cheap to convert Bitcoin -\u003e hashrate. For others, it's very expensive. The reason, is the large difference in electricity rates depending on country.\n\nIt's all very well for those who can get electricity cheaply. But, for some, it is not.\n\nThus, paying someone with better Bitcoin-\u003ehashrate conversion via fees such as these is more economically logical, than to suffer a lower Bitcoin-\u003ehashrate conversion.\n\n\u003eIf a person does not want to bother then he/she clearly does not have\n\u003ea strong opinion. As developers we should be focused on reducing the\n\u003ecomplexities of mining and of validation, not finding ways for people\n\u003eto avoid participating in these necessarily distributed roles.\n\nIt is also, very obviously, clear that you are operating under very strange assumptions, that all people are already equal somehow, or that someone who is paid x10 more is strictly superior, even though skill-wise and ability-wise, they are the same, and the one paid less is simply suffering due to the country where he or she is born in, through no fault of their own.\n\nRegards,\nZmnSCPxj\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20170512/2496484f/attachment.html\u003e"}
