Proof of Work algorithms are not hard to calculate, it's simply designed to increase capital costs to access writing to the database (adding the next 'block' set of transactions to the blockchain).
The actual math amounts to a best effort guess in a lottery for write access to a database.
The network would function just as fast with 3-10 computers as it does with 3 billion times the amount of "computing" power.
In summary, Proof of Work is designed to waste as much energy and capital input as possible.
Even if OP is a Registered Investment Adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it sounds like
Kasian Franks could be in violation of The Investment Advisers Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. § 80b-1 through 15 U.S.C. § 80b-21.
Seems like a conflict of interest which I'd imagine your lawyer should have been aware of if you're part these two ICO fintech startups - starmine.ai and vectorspace.ai
CAPEX and OPEX production cost have nothing to do with the market spot price, especially because most of the coins in circulation have been produced or acquired for far far far less than the rate it costs today.
No one cares what it costs you to produce the product.
Most of the coins in circulation already exist, and sellers can easily sell for less than it cost to produce today because most of the coins were produced for far far less than today's cost.
Anytime you buy a crypto-asset, it's someone else cashing out.
Consider where and how these assets are created, as it's more than likely a system designed to extract wealth from greater fools.
If the system does not let you produce the asset for the same amount of work that someone else put in (cryptocoins generate the bulk of the supply very early, and then cut off produciton to new users forcing low liquidity markets to exploit new users), why would you want to contribute to that cryptosystem?
Well, mining Bitcoins is a net negative of wasted energy.
Every bit of computer power beyond the minimum threshold of efficiency needed to operate the transactions and database is a net loss.
Peak efficiency of the Bitcoin mining network would be about 3-10 basic desktop computers. Instead Satoshi Nakomoto's Proof of Work will waste more and more energy with nothing to show as time goes on.
So you're saying Bitcoin is only good for early adopters and it's dangerous for new users to use Bitcoin because they could lose all their stored value when early adopters cash out?
Basically someone created Raiblocks by forking another DAG 'blockchain' database, and allocated themselves millions of coins spread across many addresses. A few thousand coins were given to the public if they clicked captchas.
These people who generated raiblocks / nano are now essentially multi-level marketeers trying to convince you to buy their beanie babies.
