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.

I don't think everyone mining POS coins will bring down the mining industry. Most of the miners don't give a flying fart about the coin they are mining. They aren't in to support the network but to dump the coins afterwards for a profit. If they get NEM instead of btc, ltc, ftc or whatnot they will just dump NEM afterwards.
I don't see how on earth that would create "conflict in their system". Can you elaborate on that ?
