Just found out about Filecoin which is an interesting concept, you "mine" by storing and serving files people save to the network.
Stuff like this is a much more interesting use of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in my opinion, instead of burning electricity for PoW you can do meaningful work while collecting a reward.
