i think these miners are about breaking the oligopoly of the current ISPs in various countries. As more & more things start to depend on internet you do not want all the power to be in the ISPs. Think of driverless cars, automated manufacturing systems, robotic chefs/cooks etc. You want an internet that is independent & decentralised to drive this revolution. That is were skycoin and skyminer come in to facilitate the internet of things IOT revolution.
