I also do not like it (the not-open-sorce miner), but it is not such a big issue as presented. If you read discussion inn BBR thread with Christian (supposed owner of such a miner), it seems, the profit is not very high, despite he/they mines lots of coins (there are many costs which needs to be included). Someone else has mentioned that it is more profitable to mine by CPU from work or university where you do not pay for electricity. I believe it.
The presented issue has not been current profitability. The issue lies in the fact that christian has openly claimed that he is mining with over 50% of the mining votes. Christian is many things, but does not have a reason to lie to you or make unfounded claims. You are belittling the situation by claiming that it's not a big issue. Christian also has the stated ability to hold onto his coins, rather than sell that many per day.
Moreover all CPU mined coins are mined but botnets. This is unfair. Botnet hackers are real thieves which have no other intention than quick profit.
This is not a cpu only coin, as we are now debating a monopoly of mining by GPU miners in all CN coins. I'm not following your logic. What statement are you trying to make?
All coins need to face centralization in mining and ownership. Even with bitcoin it is big issue. I am sure that also XMR has some superwhales and gigantic miners (botnet owners, CPUfarms,...). Since cryptonote coins are truly anonymous, it is even more difficult to find how they are distributed.
Right now there's a very clear statement by a reputable source claiming to openly control over half of BBR net hash. That is not a delusion or an uncited source. This is fact. Anonymity does not even need to be addressed here. Did you purposely ignore my previous post to you
here?
