RE: [Bounty] Community bounty for open source GPU miner.
I'm not really sure why mining should really even be a "thing". It's always occured to me as an idiotic use of compute resources and electricity.
so how do you think coin are made ?
and how do you think a p2p network exists if no one mine ? (and actually you make money out of mining... yeah see not entirely idiotic)
That this is how people try and make money IS idiotic. Bitcoin was set up to require mining. But blockchains don't require mining intrinsically. The witnesses handle most of operations. It's not a true p2p network like bitcoin.
you know that some people do a little more than just "trying" to make money...
This depends strongly on how you define p2p network.
