After seeing just how much wolf0 was able to optimize the CPU I realized just how much a few miners with properly optimized code could dominate. And if I was:
1. Someone who only care about definite profit, I could get such a miner and dump for more than it costs me to mine.
2. If I was a competing coin, I could keep the price of the coin deflated.

I think whoever can "steal" electricity (i.e.: free electricity) can do more damage than optimized miner. Every Sat is profit.

Not if the unadulterated miner is several, likely dozens of times more efficient.

Who wants to own up to how much more optimized the optimized miner is?

While people have the ability to do these things, it does go against the grain. Avoiding pools on the one hand, having optimized miners take advantage of the solo miners on the other.

That could be a nil sum gain to the intended outcome behind one of the central objectives of this project.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fud. Fud. Fud. Troll. Troll. Troll. We're going back to the self-moderated thread. La la la. I can't hear you.

You can't. But the other 99.999% of the general public can. Shocked
