Redirect mining power to support the superstition that is religion?
Yeah, right.
you know... that might just work...
I could sell an exorcism service where I guarantee the possessed 200MP/s (Mega prayers a second), by taking bible verses and hashing them.
The Hash could be the proof that the prayer has been processed.. something like $1USD for an hour
So... 1GP/s
Would be 5*24 =$120USD a day.. which is way more profitable than bitcoin mining....
