No, actually you didn't. > has there been anything on something like "Proof of Capability of Work"? ie "Yes, I have all this compute power potential, but I'm not using it". As far as I know, there has not. But I hope you are a physicist, because this idea is genius. The key role played by counterfactuals in quantum mechanical systems might make it technically possible to prove potential to perform computation that is never performed.
