True, but most currencies don’t consume exponentially increasing amounts of energy to produce each additional unit of currency.

Just looking at the names throws all sorts of red flags for me. “Mutual Public” smells suspicious because it is so meaningless, “YourFreeProxy” screams “Beware of the PUP!”, and “We Build Toolbars”, well, no more needs to be said about that.

I suspect that crapware peddlers take cheesy names for themselves and their products, just so they can giggle at all of the people they dupe.
