Exchanges typically do this. Ironically its also harmful to the libertarian side if the movement. Keeps the coins use as speculation rather than currency, centralized since you are using a broker, and bonus is that it defeats anonymity as most brokers need to follow kyc laws.
Tho the real harm is the free market itself. No one cares about moving to it and the rampant scams deter mass adoption (even if people wanted). Neat microcosm of libertarian ideals.
I find the pod optimization to be a bit more so so now a days. It saves from calling a resupply at the start, but many of the new maps are urban and have more goodies lying around.
GBT receivers provide nearly continuous frequency coverage from λ = 1 m to 6 mm (0.29 to 52 GHz) with on-sky system temperatures as low as 20° K. A single-pixel correlation receiver for λ = 3-4 mm (68-92 GHz) and the Penn Array 64-element bolometer camera for λ = 3 mm (100 GHz) are under construction. The GBT spectrometer is a multilevel digital correlator providing 2,048 channels in each of eight 800 MHz spectral bands or up to 262,144 channels at 50 MHz bandwidth. The Zpectrometer, a redshift machine for the GBT having a 14 GHz instantaneous bandwidth at 26-40 GHz, has been funded by the NSF ATI (Advanced Technologies and Instrumentation) program. Three fast-sampling backends provided by university collaborations are available for pulsar observers.
Hmmm, now that you say it I don't know why it looks that way, but I assure you good sir/madam that the dog is very real.
