I don’t like anything that changes the role of mining to anything other than providing Proof of Work. Their role is very simple now, provide valid Proof of Work, get paid.
Adding anything else to their job description distorts incentives and its unknown what the outcomes are on Bitcoin but its disastrous on Ethereum
Adding drivechain doesn't change the role of miners...
wrong
Explain how it changes the role of miners from hashing to something else please
They also become the validators for anything that happens on the sidechains. Bitcoiners have an ethos of running nodes themselves to validate. That same ethos won’t exist on the sidechains and people will just trust the miners to do it.
If you haven’t noticed, in Ethereum they even renamed the miners to validators.
