I hope the title of this thread piqued your interest, and don't bother seeing if oculusriftcoin.com/.net/.org/.info/.biz./or .co is already registered (or the plural (s), for that matter).
I first learnt about Oculus Rift here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417667.0For all you thinking now WTF, I was only 1:23 into the following video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJwljGamIGw when I had my eureka moment (or is it an epiphany?). And, if I could envision it at the 1:23 minute mark, you crypto-geeks could see it at the 1:21 mark, for I'm slow.
First, we're going to develop the proof-of-concept coin, ORC, the granddaddy of all other A-ORC (A = Alt) coins to come, of which is virtually (no pun intended) endless.
With the exception of the Oculus Rift, no other specially equipment, sans maybe the standard gaming box and the screen (of which is a given and on-hand), will be needed.
If you viewed the
video before reading this far, then maybe you've realized that what I've envisioned is building, moreover, stacking, oppose to mining blocks for the ORC blockchain, albeit the term mining still applies (or maybe quarrying may work better...hmmmm!). Suffice to say, there's a lot more that this endeavor incompasses, of which will be released on a need-to-basis as the project further develops.
Meanwhile, a development team will need to be assembled, looking for anybody(s) having an Oculus Rift development unit in their possession first. Besides, that's why they have such devices in the first place--to develop shit with them.
At the risk of jumping ahead of myself, with ORC it'll be possible for pre-teens to mine and get paid via Alts or bitcoins for their efforts, of course, perhaps, their accounts would have to be made by others of legal age depending on their locale. Parents could have their kids quarry as a learning tool, all the while earning pay for their efforts unbeknown to them. Can easily be accomplished. Or, if a kid (or adult) wants a certain xBox game, they'll have to mine X blocks, all the while an image of their goal is on the screen. But I digress, for my braincells are on overload at the moment.
Needless to say, a completely different exchange system may have to be developed that'll evaluate the various ORCs, one not funded via fiat--only via Alts and bitcoins.
Furthermore, I envision ORC as a new way to earn any cryptocurrency that can be readily converted to fiat, it's only purchasing power depending, of course, if that's the course this takes during the development process.
The hardest part to develop, I believe, will the interfacing of the quarrying and stacking (hint) of the quartz (hint) with an accounting system, of sorts, that'll show proof-of-work beyond a shadow of a doubt. Plus, incorporated in the protocol, it'll be impossible for any pool to have over 33.3% of the quarrying process. (somehow, I switched from mining to quarrying, albeit both apply)
That's it for now, surely enough to get your creative juices a flowin' with this WTF-did-I-just-read-and-why-the-WTF-is-Bruno-smokin'-Dank's-shit? thread.
