SETI Coin?

[nirom]

How hard would it be to make a coin that would reward SETI calculations (like the SETI@Home program) with units of this coin. It seems the calculation wouldn't be wasted and could serve a useful purpose. Same idea can be applied to any kind of scientific calculation.

Sounds interesting!! I dont have much technical knowledge of this, but one thing I can say is this coin wouldn't be a decentralized one. Unlike other cryptos involved in useful tasks like finding the largest prime numbers, this coin would always need a third party supply of raw SETI data. You could design the network to run without SETI data but then it would beat the purpose.

Looking forward to more ideas anyway.

This. You can set it to multiple research calculations. SETI/Rosetta, tons of colleges.
