Kodak's business model is excluding the current cryptomining community that worked so hard to establish this market, this technology and exchanges. Everyone should fight them with everything they have!

Kodak is now positioning itself to be in direct competitors with the current cryptomining community and if other businesses, big corporations follow their example of not using the current cryptominers that are already mining, their purchases of ASIC and GPU miners will dramatically drive up the prices of these miners for the current cryptominers. They will purchase in BULK cryptominers from manufacturers, they will drive up electricity costs, they will make it far more difficult for us, as current miners. They will get any miners first from manufacturers, they will set up deals first, the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto to build this technology on people that work from their homes, which includes the middle class, poor etc. they will never reap the benefits if the entire world's big businesses try to get their own coins listed and use their own miners.

So we need to make sure that these "corporate coins" ARE NOT LISTED on exchanges unless the current world wide cryptomining community that exists is involved in the mining of these coins. So if you have influence with exchanges, within the Bitcoin community, within the mining community, we need blockchain to drive the world economy, for everyone in the street, not only for the current elite that has 1000x times our own cash reserves and credit lines. They are going to drive up the prices of all miners including electricity costs. Everything. Make everything difficult for us. We need to contact the exchanges and demand that these corporate coins INCLUDE the current cryptomining community in their solution, otherwise they are not listed.

This is critical, if we don't fight now, other companies are going to follow the example set by Kodak Coin and exclude us all. We need act together to prevent this.

''Not using the current cryptominers that are already mining''? Not sure what you mean by that but the current mining industry is already incredibly hard to compete with if you're ''poor''. I understand the concerns but this is still a free market, excluding these companies isn't really an option I think. I'm also not sure what you mean with ''corporate coins'' there are tons of ''corporate coins'' on the market, what the hell do you think you've been purchasing here?

It's already insanely hard to get any meaningful sized ASICS batch, all chip manufacturers are tapped out. Many more plants coming online in coming years to fuel this boom, a joke company like KODAK will be a drop in the sea.

You can also observe a sizeable push into proof of stake or hashgraph style systems, which will imho replace mining in 5-7 years time.

Good luck with finding a non-corporate coin, there are few good ones and far between. Most of the coins without corporate backing are either scams or jokes.
