You're not supposed to jetcan mine it's an unbalanced activity and technically should be nerfed. Ore thieves help retain the balance and in turn prevent the need for jetcan mining. Jetcan mining is more profitable per hour than mining into secure cans or hauling the stuff back in ya cargo hold, but to fulfill the risk vs reward scheme you are susceptible to ORE thieves.
The system works fine as it is, i would be happy for the flagging system to be removed or altered if jetcans were removed or modified as well to help retain balance.
YOU as a miner might not think it's balanced because it's so easy for people to steel ore from your jettisoned can, but that's the point, you don't want the risk don't mine into an unsecure can. You're profit per hour will be lower but like always your risk of losing anything is drastically reduced (removed) as well.

Quote: Ore theives add nothing to the game in high sec, they are merely greifers plain and simple, if you want to talk about balance tell me why mission runners get a risk free pass to make isk and miners dont.
how mining vessels have you lost to an asteroid exactly? i'm gonna say 0 last time i checked asteroids don't shoot back. Therefore there is reward in minning with no risk what so ever. Nothing wrong with that, but when a game mechanic is used to increase profit substantially with still 0 risk it usually gets nerf. It hasn't because of ore thieves, they add in the risk factor to jetcan thieves. I don't give a flying monkey's whether you consider ore thieving griefing or not it's irrelevant (and it's not griefing if they still it and keep it) the fact remains jetcans remain because ore thieves make it fair. Remove one the other would be nerfed, but i said that already you just couldn't be arsed to read it.
Mission don't get a free run to make ISK, there is ALWAYS risk when running mission, whether it's a bad setup, running your first LvL 4 or just simply losing a ship to lag there is a risk that you'll set yourself back a pretty penny. NO risk at all in mining into a secure can or into the hold. So miners get a free run to make money, but then that's ok cos it's the dullest thing ya can possibly do in the game.
I haven't stolen ore in a long long time, but i think i might start again just to **** you lot off.
