Hi Ben - Yes it (in theory) continues. The mining pool is validating
transactions. The network fee paid (in bitcoin) for a transaction (of
bitcoin) will go to the miner. This is covered a bit in protocol discussion
of bitcoin and I would also recommend the podcast archive of let's talk
bitcoin' to learn hrough conversation, interviews etc some of the long-term
vision and detailed exploration of bitcoin's technical design.
