Title: Is it possible? Post by: viruslab on December 28, 2016, 12:07:14 PM Is it possible that the miners will decide not just an empty math and solve the real problem of the type clotting or combining of proteins.

The proof of work algorithm does not "solve math", but yes it can be changed. Title: Re: Is it possible?

There was an altcoin called Curecoin that attempted to do something like this but doesn't seem like it really gained much of a userbase. Title: Re: Is it possible?

Yes it's posible but it more complex than bitcoin miner Title: Re: Is it possible? Post by: X7 on December 29, 2016, 09:38:18 PM Primecoin was another example of hashing speeds being used for something other than solving equations, having said that. Though it is not fully economical - it isn't empty, in the sense that it does contribute to the security of the network which in itself is valuable given the size of the network now.
