I'd like to propose saying 'block submitter' to refer specifically to a miner that actually submits new blocks. This is better than 'miner', since that also alludes to people who mine through pools and don't submit any blocks themselves.
This would avoid some of the potential confusion I noticed in a message about the recent unanticipated hardfork:
The original post lacked info for "regular users". Here it is:
...
Only miners have an incentive to do anything.
If you're talking to regular users, it doesn't make sense to talk about 'miners' in a way that implicitly doesn't include people who mine through pools, who obviously don't need to do anything since the pool operator will handle that.
The use of the same term for hashers and people who actually validate and prepare blocks for hashing has been causing confusion all over the place for a while now.
Maybe clearer terminology is called for?
