> It’s a shame PoW is based on arbitrary hashing instead of, say, “Proof-of-Folding@Home” - that would do some good at least, methinks. It already exists, it is called Gridcoin and is based on Proof-of-Research. Coins are awarded based on contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). There are many scientific computing projects you can contribute processing power to that utilize the network.
