I agree here. We are trying to move away from the massive data closets of wasted energy, promoting a multipool that waste energy to get nem is something I am not supportive of.

We had the same thing at mintcoin: we are promoting sustainable development, how could this be compatible with multipool?

Congratulation to refuse this!

Sooooo, I can explain this but not in one short post. I will qoute Martin Luther King Jr. who was well versed in learning how to fight a system that he disagreed with. In the Letter from Birmingham Jail, he goes on to explain why this needs to be done. This letter was widely read and very influential in him winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Basically, if there is a system that we don't like, we need to do something about it. Mining is wasteful and unproductive. We could go and burn down the mining factories but that isn't exactly cool. To actually join the miners and mine POS creating conflict in their system and then also try to convince other POW miners to turn and mine POS is the most non-violent way of bringing an end to the system. Maybe sometime I will explain this in more detail, but I am very busy this week. But basically left to their own accords without being challenged, the miners will keep on mining just as the racist whites left to their own accord would have kept on enslaving and abusing blacks.

MLKJ said..... "You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are quite right in calling, for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks to so dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent-resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood."

If I can make a little money selling NEM after if starts, I will be willing to buy a miner and join a pool with anybody else that is willing too. It does not have to be an official pool.

I tend to agree with SomethingElse. The Multipool will be an advantage to Nem, at least at the beginning, it will allow us to convert miners to PoI while also helping to cleanup the crypto space. If we somehow observe that the advantage changes into a disadvantage, the multipool could be shutdown.

+1
Many other coin is doing multipool also so it is not probaply a big minus for the image of NEM and it could be closed if it turns out to be a bad thing.

Agree. multipool now is not so important.

Martin Luther King Jr ... multipool & NEM...

Hmmm... Where is a very good presentation about that kind of multipool?
