Well it increases the hashrate of the network and makes it just a bit more secure
but I find it a funny idea and it helps securing the network...
No, this thing absolutely does NOT "increase the hashrate of the network" by any measurable amount, nor does it do anything to "secure" the network. Are you guy just repeating buzz words or what?
This is like the agrument that "one vote doesn't count so why vote"..
Sure 1 repeater is next to nothing, 100 000 repeaters though...
HOWEVER, due to the fact it's tied to ant pool the extra security to the network depends on bitmain not wanting to launch a 51% attack... I cannot see why they would do that.
