I don't think you do get the idea

your thought misleads you.

and I don't understand what harm you think could come of this.

I think that no harm will come of it, as it is not something that I will partake in.

It wouldn't be run by those organizations, in my ideal situation anyway, but just be a separate, non-biased, unaffiliated organization that vets the scammers out there and gives people an idea of who is legit and who isn't without digging through loads of Bitcointalk pages and Reddit. It isn't going to be the OPEC of the Bitcoin mining industry.

As I said, if you feel the need to be part of a group, carry on.

But you would rather solo mine with 1 GH? What does that have to do with anything written here? Or are you happy that some people are getting scammed and scammers are upping the ante because that makes your mining more profitable? I'm really struggling to see why something like this isn't necessary and wouldn't be embraced by the community since the days of bASIC, the lost Avalon chips, BFL, BFL, BFL, Cointerra underdelivering, VMC/AMC/SCAM being investigated by the MO Attorney General and going through supposedly 4 chip redesigns while people who invested have NOTHING to show for it. This is an idea that is highly overdue in this marketplace if we are ever to be considered legitimate as we already have enough recent problems with the legal issues of key players in the Bitcoin ecosystem already. Miners have been going with the idea of individual responsibility and buyer beware, etc, which is great and all, but we have seen the fruits of that approach already and they have been bittersweet or downright rottern for the majority of miners.

yes, i'd rather solo mine with 1gh/s than be part of any centralised cult. thanks.

Where are you getting this cult idea from? What do you think the outcome of something like this would be? You don't have to be a part of the group if you don't want to, but I think it would benefit the community at large and am interested in your opposition to such an idea.
