Could someone mathmatically explain the possibilities of such an integration? It seems to me like the whole thing could be done with 100 bitcoins since thet are divisible by 8 places. Maybe a thousand at most.
Read your comment several times, I do not understand how it could be done with 100btc???
Also, I would think the Nasdaq would possibility start mining its own bitcoins to use and also to help secure the network.
Nasdaq is a stock exchange, they make enough money from trading fees. Bitcoin mining is not going to interest them, and they don't care about the security of the bitcoin network.
