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.

100,000 repeaters (~$2,900,000) is still half the hashrate of a single SP50 (~$45,000 estimated price)

it does slightly help the network, but the amount is absolutely trivial and furthermore if it is fixed to antpool then you are actually only helping out someone who already controls nearly 20% of the hashrate
