It's dominated by specialists who have access to wholesale means of production and secret, proprietary GPU code.<br/><br/>The average user no longer has a fighting chance and has given up generating blocks altogether.<br/></div><br/>It's always been the plan for block generation to not be profitable for most people. It's supposed to be done mainly by dedicated "backbone" entities. What's stronger: a thousand people producing 1 Gh/s with hardly any individual economic interest in preserving the network's integrity, or five businesses producing the same Gh/s that <i>will fail</i> if they or someone else destabilizes the network?<br/><br/>I'm not saying that GPU code shouldn't be made, but it's not fair to say that GPU generators are "taking without giving back". People dedicated to generating deserve a head-start on new technologies.</div> text/html
