He tweeted > The torrent contains a virus, it's best to let the authorities examine the evidence and stop seeding and spreading false info. Yes, the hackers fabricated 400GB of lies and please don't look at them.

Primecoin ( http://primecoin.io/ ) has been out for a long time. It's a decentralised cryptocurrency which uses prime number chains as its proof-of-work. I don't think it revolutionised anything, but some mathematic
