Interesting news about mining. SpiderPool, one of the largest Bitcoin pools in the world, has just launched NAT distribution directly on the blockchain. It's like a parallel reward system that works alongside regular BTC mining.
The NAT itself is a cryptocurrency tied to the Bitcoin network. It is generated every 10 minutes along with a new block. Approximately 386 million NAT are created per block, which is currently worth about $38. All the code is open source, so it can be checked.
In theory, when the reward reaches $50,000 (this will be at a capitalization of $50 billion), it could seriously cover part of miners' costs. SpiderPool is clearly betting that this will give Bitcoin new momentum. The reward gradually decreases depending on network difficulty and block height.
If this really works, SpiderPool could attract more miners with its two-tier system. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
