生成会聚集到一些地方：
1）最便宜或免费的地方
2）出于理想主义想帮忙的人
3）想不通过交易买币、直接获得一些币的人
确实有合法的免费地方。生成在任何用电暖的地方基本都是免费的，因为电脑的热量抵消了电暖器的基础供暖。很多小公寓图方便都用电暖。
取暖油有多贵？油价这么高，如果实际上比电还贵，那生成的成本就是负的。
还有把电费算在父母账上的孩子、算在雇主账上的员工、僵尸网络，等等。
第 3 种情况适用于小额。做交易所的开销不划算，如果你只是需要一点零花钱做些小额支付。我觉得相比法定货币这是个不错的优势，铸币税不再流向一个大实体，而是以方便的金额流向需要凑点零钱的人。
英文原文
Some places where generation will gravitate to:
1) places where it's cheapest or free
2) people who want to help for idealogical reasons
3) people who want to get some coins without the inconvenience of doing a transaction to buy them
There are legitimate places where it's free. Generation is basically free anywhere that has electric heat, since your computer's heat is offsetting your baseboard electric heating. Many small flats have electric heat out of convenience.
How expensive is heating oil? With the price of oil so high, if it's actually more expensive than electric, then generating would have negative cost.
There's also kids putting it on their parent's power bill, employees their employer, botnets, etc.
Case 3 comes into play for small amounts. The overhead of doing an exchange doesn't make sense if you just need a small bit of pocket change for incidental micropayments. I think this is a nice advantage vs fiat currency, instead of all the seigniorage going to one big entity, let it go in convenience amounts to people who need to scrape up a small amount of change.
