well that's sure some detailed info you gave me there. I don't pretend to understand the mining issues , that's a bit our of my depth really !! My problem with Monero is more the people that truly will use it and for what for !! i mean would you want to help develop and actively invest in something which aids say murder hits for mafia sorts or sexual slavery kingpins in the middle east. Its more this i was alluding to in my earlier comment !!
