So the idea is simple.
You find someone to set up a website for a miningpool, think similar to these: https://www.suprnova.cc/ or one that would mine some of the most profitable coins at the time: https://whattomine.com/
Steemians all over the world would dust off their miners, gpu's + cpu's and learn how to mine and connect to the pool. Those who support the idea and the project could give some votes on some daily statistic posts just to cover the work of the creator and website upkeep. The pool would remain at 0 fees and would take the daily(possibly weekly until more concentrated mining power) mining profits of the coins that have been mined and trade them for STEEM/SBD (maybe starting with SBD and then convert that to Steem by helping the peg) then send those out to all users relatively to the work they've put into mining.
Idea 2: an app for tracking mining statistics/activity/revenue that includes ads and shares adrevenue with the miners using the app. Adrevenue would also be traded for Steem/SBD and a share would be paid out to the active users.
So at first glance it doesn't sound too difficult, there are many opensource mining programs and tutorials that could be added to the site to get users who've never mined but have some old GPU's or inactive ones they would be interested in using to it (or they live somewhere where it's pretty cold right now and could use another heater that generates them some Steem on the side :P)
I'd be up for supporting whoever has the technical skills to set this up with my upvotes for documentation in post format of his activity of creating this and I'm sure there are many others interested and I think something like this could be beneficial for Steem and it's users. At the same time it would also add some buy pressure on SBD/STEEM even though a little it could grow into more and more.
I realize mining is not so profitable right now but most alts are down equally, there are also many who might live in countries where electricity is cheap and they could turn a net profit even at current prices but recommendations are of course to #hodl/#invest with their mining power into STEEM.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts and if someone with the skills or past experience would be up for setting this up, feel free to reach me at Acidyo#8038 on Discord.
