I love the idea of spinning up a couple of cores and throwing them at a qt wallet. I feel like everyone probably has a couple cores they could spare, and the idea of everyone uniting behind something like that is appealing.

However, in some previous thread, one of the zen forum wizards brought up a really good point. CPU coins are easily susceptible to Bot Nets. They can easily mine, they can sell at any price, and easily devalue the market for the coin.

I read this question, and it stuck with me, trying to think of a solution. I don't really love any of these ideas, as they all have glaring flaws, but for the sake of discussion....

The first thing I thought of was some sort of captcha on the qt wallet. Obviously, it can be easily circumvented in a number of ways, but it would be enough of a pain in the butt to make it less appealing.

Was just curious if anyone else had any ideas or counter points. In a way to keep CPU Mining valuable to the people.
