@Laurelai you could probably go further even - cryptos current system of value tied to the equivalent of solving crossword puzzles is fucked
@Laurelai calculating prime numbers, even. Something mathematically useful to crypto.
Nope, just something sufficiently difficult to find relative to the amount of people looking. Good to know that the more power we throw at it, it adapts to take the same length of time.

@edensaesthetic Yeah china sure does love currency manipulation.
@edensaesthetic Yeah if they tied it to something like processes that actually do something good for humanity, like those one things you can install to have your spare processor power do research for science or something like that
