Chip manufacturers as separate stakeholder #34

Open Giszmo opened 6 days ago

The "Chip manufacuters" in the list of miners comes a bit as a surprise and would warrant a sentence as to why it was included here. If not, it should be listed as a separate stakeholder. Bitmain's opposition to SegWit over their covert ASIC boost comes to mind.

I like this idea to create a table with mining segments https://github.com/bitcoin-cap/bcap/issues/19

Chip makers would be one of them, and BCAP can do a better job of distinguishing chip makers from pools and miners (hashers).

agree, will work on #19 and include Chip Manufactures as a distinct component of the mining segment.
