A while ago I had this idea for a "cryptocurrency" in which the proof of work would be a detailed image of a small part of the sky at a specific time of the year.
This in turn would be verified by telescopes watching larger patches of the sky, so obviously having a less detailed image of that specific piece, but enough to determine if the detailed image is believable.
- rocqua 7y agoHow hard would it be to take that less detailed image of that specific piece from the verification telescope, and turn it into a believable fake of the proof of work picture?
- Tade0 7y agoI Imagine there to be more than one telescope and the picture would have to fool all of them. Very possible and the reason I'm here commenting on HN and not having my ICO done in 2018.
