Hi All,
I'm wondering, right most of the bitcoin processing power is used to resolve blocks, which are not used for anything except as "proof of work"?
What if instead bitcoin was implemented to do something useful, like help folding@home? Wouldn't that be better? Please vote!
We're already hashing something important, security work for the bitcoin block chain and economy.
Also, it's so far been impossible to find a way to make other 'more useful' data work as proof of work.
