Resistance argues that proof-of-work mining “has been hijacked by huge mining farms using tons of energy to take control of the market” — isolating normal consumers who cannot afford to get involved with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

As a result, Resistance is seeking to address exorbitant energy consumption and the power imbalance within the mining community by offering a “radical concept” known as proof-of-research.
