The Bitcoin Mining Council has gone live, launching its own website detailing its members and the mission statement of the organization. The council originated as a closed organization, but they are now allowing any miner to join.
The mandate of the Bitcoin Mining Council is to promote transparency, share best practices, and educate the public on the benefits of Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining.
The decision was reached in the meeting between Bitcoin (BTC) miners, the chiefs of a few investment and tech companies, and some billionaires to form the Bitcoin Mining Council. And while some think of this as a good idea and a way to promote Bitcoin, others very much oppose it, calling it an attempt to control Bitcoin by agenda-driven regulator-pleasers.
