Title: want miners' opinions - reporter doing a story on 8/1 fork
Post by: money_stuff on July 11, 2017, 05:03:06 PM
I'm interviewing miners on Skype for a video I'm producing - if mine and you've got an opinion I want to hear it!

Here's a video on Ethereum I published last week:https://news.vice.com/story/ethereum-traders-explain-why-they-havent-cashed-out-yet

Too bad I don't use Skype. If you truly are a reporter for Vice, the videos I've seen from you guys are great and you guys should keep it up!

That being said I still do have a little bit of an opinion and even if it isn't going to be used I'll keep this out on the forum anyways. The fork is largely political and to be honest, most miners I know including myself don't really care as much about it as the big guys. Fees and Asicboost is a big part of the motivation surrounding the entire thing, and neither of those things affect our own payouts very much. Of course the future of Bitcoin is important, but for most profit-oriented miners it really doesn't matter.
