I can't understand why miners are necessary to sync. They are only needed for new transactions to go through. It should only be necessary for the person running the client pointed to by the source code (seed0.emoticoin.org or seed1.emoticoin.org) to have the correct client running with an up do date blockchain.

Because when miners don't mine, blocks don't get created which ends up stopping the Blockchain till someone finds a Block.

Miners are Confirming Transactions too remember Wink
