some good points are raised, but could we please end this flaming fud and seek a direction that would benefit ppl
thank you

i want to see everyone with a big pocketfull of WAM. i think it has a great potential as a convenient spending currency, wish there were more than a dozen or so mining it ....

Agreed. We need more miners. Small miners would be best as it was the original intent.
Like I said earlier, I don't understand how the block-chain integrity can be maintained otherwise, especially when mining runs dry later this year.
