Yeah, I've been solo mining and the reward is <10SLM total per block, compared to 12-14 per burn block at the moment. And burn blocks don't tie up my CPU... plus I get stacks more of them (around 10x more at the moment).

This has got me thinking that Slimcoin is going the right way with discouraging PoW-mining already, though still that a different algorithm might be better than dcrypt.
