Idea: NeuroCoin

[Praxis]

The NeuroCoin idea is this: we would harness the neuronal structure of the brain for hashing power. Basically, a person would have a surgical procedure so that he could connect to a software miner; the miner would send problems to the brain to solve while at the same time projecting a virtual reality directly into their consciousness. The brain is the most advanced supercomputer in the Universe. People would go to massive NRC farms and connect themselves for X time, or stay connected forever and enjoy their parallel realities.

the matrix has you!

Not a good idea, this is what happened in the matrix.

But seriously the way these cryptocurrencies work has a few similarities to the way the brain works, just not as dodgy. I don't think having money on the brain the whole time is the best of ideas though.

NeurosisCoin would be better; More hashing power if you can harness the calories spent on neurotic ramblings - just look around in this forum.

Neurotics and hysterics would have higher hashing powers. ADHD and OCD sufferers even higher.

But the neurotics are more numerous. at least in this subforum as of lately. Definition from wikipedia: ...anxiety, sadness or depression, anger, irritability, mental confusion, low sense of self-worth, etc., behavioral symptoms such as phobic avoidance, vigilance, impulsive and compulsive acts, lethargy, etc., cognitive problems such as unpleasant or disturbing thoughts, repetition of thoughts and obsession, habitual fantasizing, negativity and cynicism, etc. Interpersonally, neurosis involves dependency, aggressiveness, perfectionism, schizoid isolation, socio-culturally inappropriate behaviors, etc.[7]

Okay, let's start with an easy one, what about P=NP?

[ElectricMucus]

This has to be the best idea since Lolicoin.

Wow these are getting funnier and funnier.

[CreationLayer]

What about a coin that is funded by donations and investors, where the hashing power is used to compute important complex issues related to health and science?

Rewards would be distributed directly from the investors.
