That only sticks for people already owning some DRK. How do you think people accumulate DRK if they dont own any already? Not by mining, thats for sure..

Buying.
Yes, already edited my post a bit but thats exactly what I'm afraid of. Do you think buying outweighs mining in terms of prosperity/interest in of DRK?
If mining is not of any value to the coin, and only provides a service that can be better completed by masternodes, then of course. Yes.
