As I see there no point to mine Monero on a typical machine if your point is not to help the network, I do have 10k/h just to help Monero. So, why would anyone mine monero?

To turn shitty fiat into monero permissionlessly obviously. I only have 8khs but i am still mining.

Genuinely curious here. How long have you been mining and has it given you any returns? Looking into potentially turning one of my Single Board Computers into a mining machine, but haven't quite pulled the trigger yet.

I have been mining since about November of last year and have gotten ~0.12XMR for my efforts. Sure its not much, but i did obtain it permissionlessly. I also have not had 8khs the whole time. Most of that time was with 2khs. Most of that 0.12XMR has been earned in the last 3 months since getting to 8khs.

@shortwavesurfer even distributed computing is permissionless but differently from what you're talking of there are several tens of thousands people less on the world community grid using the boinc network for scientific, environmental and medical calculations
