Title: Crypto Backed by Renewable Energy
Post by: MCRyan on June 10, 2014, 05:41:21 PM
I am curious what everyone on this forum thinks about backing a cryptocurrency with green energy?

Has this been done before?

These guys are taking a stab at it: http://genercoin.io/ (http://genercoin.io/)

The concept of DeKo as a unit of work is pretty intriguing.

How about other commodities? I know there is a push right now to put real, tangible assets behind new cryptos.
