I don't know if this is supposed to be in here or in the mining subforum itself, I'm sure a mod can move me if I'm wrong. Anyway, my observation is that the description for the Mining subforum says "Generating Bitcoins". But in principle, mining is manily about securing the network and reifying blocks into the blockchain. The coinbase which diminishes over time is clearly a big movitvator these days, but isn't that really only a side-effect of the fact that we're in the early stages of bitcoin's existence?
Maybe a better tag-line for the mining subforum would be:
"Creating blocks and generating bitcoins"
^^^ with that, at least we'd make a nod to the fact that we hope that there will be miners long after there are no coinbases left.
What do you guys think?
