Title: FuzzyCoin Post by: Bitcoin Oz on November 05, 2012, 11:20:17 PM Could you use fuzzy logic to create an alt coin ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_associative_matrix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_associative_matrix) As an example just say you want to fold proteins for science. Folding -IF protein is found THEN coin is awarded. Seti - IF messages are found THEN coins are awarded. You could also use coin-age - IF coins have more days destroyed THEN that chain is correct.

IF you can first design artificial intelligence THEN yes you can :) Title: Re: FuzzyCoin Post by: FuzzyBear on November 06, 2012, 07:55:50 AM So have I got to make this coin then?? IF you can first design artificial intelligence THEN yes you can :) i was looking at the irony of the coins name and my username Title: Re: FuzzyCoin Post by: Jutarul on November 06, 2012, 08:54:41 AM As an example just say you want to fold proteins for science. Folding -IF protein is found THEN coin is awarded. Actually the idea is genius. instead of performing useless work as a proof of work we might be able to couple it to some scientific problem! regarding the folding... you'd have to use a different protein for each block (to prevent pre-computation), and the protein should only be known once the previous block has been computed. I guess you could work something out with mapping the amino acid sequence to the blockchain hash. However, instead of testing the hash you'd need to test the computed configuration - you'd need to submit a configuration which meets a criterium for the configuration energy. The other interesting aspect of this, is that there are a bunch of different methodologies out there to fold proteins. And they all prefer different computing architectures...

The block chain approach can still be used, but most benefits of decentralization will vaporize.

The block chain approach can still be used, but most benefits of decentralization will vaporize. You could just fold random amino acid sequences. If you can verify the solution quickly enough, then it could work as a decentralized chain. I'm not sure that folding random imaginary proteins is useful though. Title: Re: FuzzyCoin Post by: Akka on November 06, 2012, 09:26:18 AM Seti - IF messages are found THEN coins are awarded. So, as soon as one coin exists, its existence is proof that we are not alone? ;D Seriously: Great Idea, that all this calculation power basically goes wasted, is something that always bothered my about the mining process. Title: Re: FuzzyCoin Post by: Mousepotato on November 07, 2012, 09:52:12 PM I would totally mine something named FuzzyCoin just because it's fuzzy, and you can pet it. /2cents
