I think page should be renamed to "Proof of work". There's no reason this has to be a hyphenated one-word. --[[User:Nanotube|Nanotube]] 08:02, 26 December 2010 (GMT)

Hey guys, love the project, love the idea.  The technical information on this page is fantastic and very interesting, but I think one critical focus that is missing from here and the main website is the *reason* why the "Proof of work" is important.  Why is there mining?  What purpose does it achieve?  How does it help give 'validity' to the currency.  This important area should have a heading of its own i think!  And maybe even on the main website?  It's the first question many people will ask.  Just my 2c

It's the first question many people will ask. Just my 2c
