That&#39;s great, but if all that hash rate could be organized &#34;brought together&#34;, I think it can have an even more meaningful impact. One that isn&#39;t strictly done in the spirit of promoting and upholding mining decentralization (which, IMO, is a worthy pursuit in and of itself), but one that may have a chance of &#34;collectively&#34; competing against industrial size mining operations.</html></oembed>
