What an idiotic and ignorant statement. People are paid for creative ideas all the time. Some people make it a profession to just think.
This one is very creative and even if it happened to be a scam, the idea has now been made public and someone can pick it up an apply it.
Cryptocurrency as a whole can only benefit from more ideas being thrown out there, unless of course you want more litecoin clones (you probably do).
It is you sir that deserves nothing, not even this reply. I gave the OP 1 BTC out of the hundred or so I have simply because his idea is absolutely ingenious.
If this turns out to be real and it takes off, then that's just icing on the cake. Would love to see more bright ideas, sick of all the Proof of Work bullshit out there.
