  All proof-of-work is. Because the "work" being "proven" isn't actual work. It's just waste.

      After being here for 12 years, I'm used to it. ;)

        At a certain point gotta take pride in being downvoted for uncomfortable truths.

      To be fair, this only works because it is difficult to make money off of protein folding. It is kind of a waste, but not wasteful enough to criticize it.

  Unlikely. Everyone is screwing everyone else.
