I hadn't heard of this, but if it had a positive charge then it would definatly fall into the quantum realm. And be even more likely to attract electrons.

Your proposal is interesting and creative, but I don't think it could get off the ground without a positive charge to the mBH.
A. Not so. Given enough gravity, the gravity would function similar to the electroweak + gravitational attraction of a normal nuecleous. Force is force, doesn't really matter what the source is. Electrons would assume thier shells/orbits (Probability clouds). I expect though the coulds would be radicaly different then normal matter at similar energy states.

But the point I was making was not proposing a new form of BH matter, but that a sub automic sized BH, would be constrained by quantum interactions, and not normal interactions.

And that this was missing from those peoples considerations, and it shouldn't be.

But it looks like you undid your own concerns about fast mini BH growth with good math, so probably this point is now moot.
