for the first time ever in Bitcoin's history, we'll have a scalable mining ASIC embedded in the most popular portable computing device on the planet (smartphones) whose growth is set to skyrocket and turn billions of unbanked into banked clients not only for micropayments but for standard commerce via a hardware wallet. the portability aspect of this device potentially will allow it to mine for free. right now i can envision unemployed African kids camped out at Starbucks or public libraries with not one but 7 Android phones (2 in their front pockets, 2 in their back pockets, 2 in their shirt pockets, and 1 in their hands for surfing) plugged into public outlets generating BTC while they're sipping their lattes. wait, nevermind Starbucks. why not go to the airports where it's plain to see the proliferation of phone charging kiosks in preparation for the smartphone age?
free electricity for all!
Perhaps you missed the point that the plan (at least for the heating appliances) is likely to sell devices at lower cost and all the coins go to the cartels and oligarchs. The users are not to have to deal with any of the complications of mining and the mining runs on auto-pilot.
Assuming phones at higher cost will be available that allow users to get the coins from mining, I fail to see how this is paradigmatically differentiated from the $9 USB stick miner I can buy on Amazon.com and plug into my phone and computer now. Meaning there won't be any great adoption of users mining coins for themselves that isn't already underway.
The only major paradigm shift here is lower cost devices (appliances and smartphones) for dumb users, and the mined coins are going to the cartels and oligarchs.
If you can't grasp that obvious reality then I don't know what else to say to you. I guess enjoy the bliss while you can.
