I would argue that the underlying activity that leads to a cryptocoin being awarded has been the single point of flaw that prevents it from being reliable. If running a tor node and you are able to contribute to the greater good, I think that is a far more valuable proposition than calculating increasingly complex problems across multiple graphic cards that produces absolutely no value other than consume electricity and generate pollution. I can definitely see the problem if an incentive was offered say on a stackoverflow type of website, because it would directly hinder the quality of the questions but in the case of running a Tor node, it's only a matter of turning it on or off. If someone decides to run it on a better hardware, they would be compensated more. I'm really excited for TorCoin, it is a serious alternative to Bitcoin.
