It would be great if bitcoin allowed regular folks to mine with just their wallet. Diamond coin, DMD, allows you to do this, all you need is a DMD walllet with some diamond coins and voila you're mining. With the global climate change, bitcoin should allow this. It's almost unconscionable. Shame on btc and bitcoin miners.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

there are 2 different ways you complaint can be interpreted: 1 you want your btc wallet to mine the POW side of bitcoin, this is possible, but you wont make much.
2: you want bitcoin to have a POS function, That i assume the comparison with DMD you are talking about.
The second will not happen because bitcoin needs people to spend and transact it, POS makes people want to save.

Mining with your wallet was supported back when a CPU was able to mine Bitcoin for something in the ballpark of a profit, and for a while afterwards.

 There is no point to it now - you just waste power for essentially ZERO return.
