I own a few GreenPan products and started to wonder so I did some digging - seems they were subject to a class action lawsuit [1] which was voluntarily dismissed since it reached settlement[2].

Other entities burning energy isn't a good argument for "wasting power" mining cryptocurrency as it boils down to whataboutism [0].
The proof of work is a potentially valid argument but wouldn't it be better if the work was useful in some way?

Great stuff.
Do you feel explicitly stating any licensing (or lack of) be a good idea for the samples?
