Blackcoin is what Bitcoin was always meant to be. PoW is merely the first attempt at self-governance, but times have changed and people want self-governance now. True autonomy.
Rather than constantly escalating the price of mining equipment and the ongoing electrical cost of mining Bitcoin, we have the opportunity to go in the opposite direction.
Right now it costs about $20 for a raspberry pi and about $0.02 in electricity per day to mine Blackcoin. Computing equipment only gets cheaper and more efficient every year, so it should only improve going forward. Making mining accessible to everyone is the path to a truly decentralized cryptocurrency network, wherever they happen to be from.
