@eddycurrent: I've taken into consideration your suggestion to change "mining" into "minting" in the text but I'm not able to establish where it would be more appropriate.
We have the following expression with the word "mining" in our text: "virtual mining", "the possibility to mine coins", "unique mining mechanism" and "ASICs resistant CPU mining algorithm dcypt".
The first 3 expressions are about PoB. Is PoB to be considered as minting instead of mining?
The last one is about CPU mining, so I wouldn't change it.

To the best of my knowledge (I am not confident about this) I believe that PoS, PoB, ... are sometimes referred to as minting mechanisms, but I would like to get clarification/correction on that. I do not think that it is a major issue in this context, but might just be good for a bit of clarity. Unless someone else can confirm this I would be happy to leave it as "mining" to be on the safe side.

let it be "mining"
POB is good due taking coins out of circulation forever in the process of burning, at the same time being a full-fledged imitation of the POW process, only without the need for purchase (or additional purchase) of mining equipment (GPU, ASIC, CPU, FPGA or what else will come up... Grin

)
