How exactly is that idiotic?
Fawking miners, can't live with them, can't live without them.
Jesus, I thought you weren't responding to me anymore.
OK, one more time...
The purpose of mining is to secure the blockchain. Block rewards are an incentive to encourage this.
For a PoW coin, anyone who controls 51% of your hashrate has control of the coin. They can double spend. In fact, they could just wipe out all of your coins and only leave their own. They can do pretty much whatever they want with the coin.
The only way to avoid this is to make it very difficult to accomplish a 51% attack. Bitcoin is the only coin that comes close to doing this, and even at 50 giga petahashes or whatever it is, it's still questionable. But it's the closest we've got at the moment. And yes, I'm saying that every single other coin (with the exception of those merge mined with Bitcoin, I suppose) are not secure. That's why Bitcoin is worth FAR more than ALL of the alt coins combined
A PoW coin without miners is like a bank with an open vault. People who run exchanges understand this, so they will de-list the coin. No rational exchange would touch such a coin.
That's what your "Traders Only" coin is going to get you. Enjoy.
