Hmmm. I don't think you really understand what 'irony' means here (but I've never seen anyone use 'irony' more times in a single thread, so well done!).

So you're saying that there was no exclusion then? That is was simply a matter of pool owners' not playing because they have to adhere to the 50Mhs cap?
And said cap iz BAAAD because it gave ordinary miners the ability to actively participate in a goddamn peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, instead of fighting for leftover scraps at the foot of the dinner table?

To be honest, I don't really have strong feelings for Mineral. But the mounting opposition from pool miners and their proxies is making me dig my heels in. I know, the fear is that if this succeeds, future clone coins will implement similar mining caps - which will effectively destroy most pool operators' rape and dump business model. I can emphatize with that. After all, some pool operators have spent hundreds of thousand dollars worth of new equipments. I feel so sad that I am shedding ONE, nay, TWO tears for them!
