What do you mean by "buying their mining potential"?
Can you elaborate?
I pay you or them in $ or tokens and get to mine what they are mining. Maybe in percentages or depending how big my purchase is.
For example I pay $100 and get 5% of what they mine?
Interesting idea. Definitely something to consider
I see 2 issues with this:
1. If we take mining potential from the project and give it to the buyer, project would get cut and eventually end with 0 if there are a lot of people participating.
2. If we create new tokens for each buyer of mining potential, it would create a huge inflation.
What you are suggesting might fall under payment token type and QCP is a Utility token.
