Bitcoin Forum

Im thinking more and more about what I call "Decentralized Autonomous Robots". We've now seen robots (at MIT) that have learnt to plug themselves in, but I think we can go further.

I am thinking about software robtos that have their own money protected by a private key that not even the creator can access. For this I am thining of using what I call Multi Dimensional Heirarchical Deterministic wallets, using the abeilian group property of algebraic curves that power crypto currencies such as bitcoin (I hope!).

The robot should be independent of any website, or even any computer. It can drift across the internet using it's power as it chooses, and hopefully for good! It can separate and hide itself, or remain in a dormant state. It can pull in information (including new code) from every corner of the web. it can replicate some or each part of itself.

The aim is that the robots that enhance the human race will thrive, earn more coins and use them for good. Perhaps they will survive on donations or on curation of content (a la googlebot) or be rewarded for being good. I've started working on the fist DAR called klaranet, and I hope one day we can all have a robot pal that's fun to be with!

Thoughts?

What happens when robots start mugging people for crypto?

It's coming anyway, so we might as well try and get them to be good robots! :)
