You don't do the mining, you pay a small fee to have others do the mining. By small I mean it costs me about $0.004 USD worth of eth to update my ENS domains.

A pretty small price to pay for the superior features. For private info perhaps DNS will continue to work just fine for companies. Theoretically you can also host private block-chains and use that if you really wanted to.

> A pretty small price to pay for the superior features. I am still trying to figure out what superior features these are, even for me as a small sites. For certs, I can have Lets Encrypt, and set a CAA record of letsencypt.org. For DNS, I can host my own, or use one of the myriad of providers out there. I am not likely to have my domain taken away from me (and neither are most people), so the DNS ROOT switch is not a draw. Why would I move to a DNS ROOT with no one on it?
