This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's not how the complexity of the mining works. It doesn't increase with every block. It scales depending on how many miners there are (essentially). So if many people stopped mining, the complexity required would decrease.
