Looking forward to the first deep learning framework that puts all these energy-burning-machines to good use.

- slig 9y agoMiners use specialised hardware (ASIC - application-specific integrated circuit) to mine. They are only useful to calculate hashs efficiently.
- singularity2001 9y agois there no way to make 'good' use of them? whoever comes up with an idea might become a billionair.
- Isomatik 9y agoProof of work is intentionally useless to the miner to increase the cost of attacking the network. There are initiatives like curecoin and foldingcoin which integrate folding@home into their proof of work, but the output of that is still "useless" to the miner and relies on the folding@home team not manipulating the process, which becomes a bigger risk once hard rewards for folding are introduced.
