Re: My rebuttal to the fairness of proof-of-work launch (Monero's holier than thou)
What I have already done is disprove your assertion that POW mining is equivalent to paying the utility companies for electricity. That is why the weather is so critical.
You still have not answered my rebuttal to your claim "POW mining is equivalent to paying the utility companies for electricity". It is you who drew your gun first and fired wide. Now I get to shoot. You Americans should understand this.
Edit 1: One does not need a mathematical proof or a white paper for something that should be obvious: Such as In many cases it makes economic sense to run an electric space heater when it is -40 C or F outside.
Edit 2: Maybe you slipped on the ice.

It looks like in your excitement after coming up with a partial rebuttal to one part of a sentence you have missed the context, an unwitting strawman.
The context was that instead of funding development and the ecosystem, the miners are now funding something else. That something else can be electric power industry shareholders and/or hardware manufacturers like NVIDIA and AMD for example. Furthermore, people who can't use miners to heat their houses can't compete with those who can which causes even more centralization and unfair market condition.
Or perhaps the solution to fair distribution and funding development you're suggesting is to move all the devs to the north so they can get free coins while heating up their houses?
