Restrict mining to single country? (Bitcoin algorithm)

[taleen@inddweg.com]

I represent a group of developers involved in reissuing Bitcoin through a hard fork with merged mining. We would like to know, is it possible to restrict mining our blockchain to a single country? Ie- can we block miners outside of a particular country?

No, you can not. Certainly not for the real Bitcoin network. Maybe for your network that you could attain due to the hard fork.

I suggest you try to understand more about the Bitcoin network and how decentralized it is. Even if you try to convenience some of the mining pools to collaborate with you, which I am pretty sure you know is near to impossible, miners can still do solo mining minus using those mining pools.

Seriously mate, you sound like the fat guy who runs his country like a god, builds nukes for nothing and hate when people listen to music from their next door country.

Bitcoin is decentralized for F*** sake, if you dont want to mine with the rest of the world, build your own shitcoin and promote it like those scamstars in the  "altcoins" section of the forum.
