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.

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.

Why is this only a problem for SPR?

Couldn't I optimize my mining software to mine DRK more efficiently, then take my new miner to a pool and mine DRK?
