I'm an argumentative person and don't want to fall into my habit of offtopic spamming, but I'll make a few points then drop it.

It's very common for people to fall into Orwellian language traps. You can call something "a free market" because you have freedom in the market, but if you ask a mouse what the best mousetrap is they won't choose the one that catches the most. One of the biggest changes in crypto over fiat is that phraseslike "free market" can be redefined according to more natural rules.

Calling the 'test' at that link a Turing test is like saying "people do addition, therefore if a computer does addition it passes the Turing test". Again, it's clever language that obscures rather than enlightens.

The ai aspect of coins is longterm much more important than the financial side, it is better to focus on reducing scarcity than redistributing.
Eventually all coins will have "productive" algorithms, whether science coins like fldc and grc or mathcoins like xpm, ric, gap etc or coins that can easily be adapted to ai like huc.
Coins are like anything else, as good as a coin might be, it has to adapt. Coins that cling to useless algorithm, poor distribution techniques, etc will not thrive. Blakecoin has a good ethical history, active supporters despite a near zero market cap, a history that goes back a little further than most coins, etc. Those things are all good but unless it keeps an edge it will not advance.
With regard to 'gaming, I am not personally a gamer but I recognize the importance of gaming as a way to develop algorithms that incorporate human input, which can be directed to something useful. I think the current 'pump' around gamecoins is strictly a pump, except in cases where the coin focuses on actual human interaction with the algorithm, i.e., very few of the game coins. i don't especially care for one coin or another, but I think it's useful to try and promote coins developing in a positive direction.

"free market" what I am referring too is independently available Blakecoin held by 3rd person(s) for sale *for example people selling Blakecoin on exchanges (which there are more than one)

a 'test' can be defined by an algorithm especially when you are referring to proof "prove they are human" which is often a result of a test like taking an exam or with mammals maybe DNA/Blood to check to see if it is Human
what the Turing test does is try to fool a select group of people who are interacting with a system and make them think they are dealing with a Human and not an algorithm or computer program, if you can fool the person you can indeed exploit an algo as they are often only as good as the human developer that designed it and afraid to say but all of us humans are flawed and often limited in our imaginations thus miss things and create the exploits that others expose if we are lucky or just plain exploit if we are not and I am definitely not an exception to this rule
"When the judge is unable to distinguish correctly between the human and the artificial solutions, the machine has passed the test and should be considered intelligent" the judge in this case is my proof algo
so if I made an algo that was to test for a Human over the internet the winner gets a reward and I picked Chess or jeopardy then my algo might pick.
Chess: "Deep Blue and Kasparov played each other on two occasions. The first match began on February 10, 1996, in which Deep Blue became the first machine to win a chess game against a reigning world champion (Garry Kasparov) under regular time controls."
jeopardy: "IBM Watson wowed the tech industry and a corner of U.S. pop culture with its 2011 win against two of Jeopardy's greatest champions."
oh dear seem to be a flaw in trying to identify a Human as my crap algo just picked two machines Oops
I have also seen within the crypto scene: an exploit of a supposed Human only PoW algo based on the sensor input of a mobile, one guy taped three phones and put it on a spinning laundry rack the another just used a development emulator and injected a simulation of sensor data with random(pseudo) timings both exploited the algo within days of its release
hence why I said "2. no plans to change PoW algo for minting blocks (its cryptographic secure to 2
200 e.g very difficult to cheat/exploit the PoW algo)"
"Coins are like anything else, as good as a coin might be, it has to adapt. Coins that cling to useless algorithm, poor distribution techniques, etc will not thrive."
Crypto coins that are only used for P&D, VC cash ponzi etc are imho total trash regardless of the algo what matters is use and more widespread daily use by people that are not involved in development/investing the better e.g https by next year most site will be using it even if 90% of users dont notice or care that its about encryption or that some versions like ssl are trash due to exploits and bad implementation *this is main killer of a algo and its far too easy to do

my AI work will focus on games not coins as the userbase is far greater and so is the reusability for current projects
"Eventually all coins will have "productive" algorithms"
I would class securing the blockchain as "productive" and if I am also using the same blockchain to help protect the integrity of my databases as stuff like database hacks for online systems are a real threat to operations then it is also saving me development time then its only increasing my productivity then multiple that by the number of systems it is securing
did I yet mention that fact that Blakecoin is merge mined currently with five other blockchains for same work which all could be doing much more useful things than they currently are and the merge could be much larger than it is if only could find decent non scam devs!
"promote coins developing in a positive direction" great look forward to getting your code contributions on my github because talk is cheap when development is concerned and I can always use more help on open source side of things
my personal thoughts:
use (games in my case) = demand (because a lot of people are lazy or just want stuff now)
high quality games that are fun = larger amount of users (especially if the games are F2P *Free to Play)
games =
more global use next year than most/all crypto coins unless someone does a killer app *sure we will see a few bs devs claim then fail at this
crypto scene = toxic dev environment full of scammers and shills all making fast buck and mostly talking complete bs about vaporware of one kind or another
realistic goals = achievement *my current achievement is crap! no excuses projects should be much further ahead by now, deadlines missed all sorts of issues and stress not to mention costs and a good chunk of my life invested already in these projects and fewer people helping out, if I was to do over(magical time machine) I would still do a no bs/hype coin and still do games just multiplayer stuff that scale easier than MMOs then build up and hopefully attract more developers to ease the workload
games = interactive entertainment *you can use games for teaching and other useful things but fact is that area amounts to a very small userbase vs pure entertainment especially online with the shared experience *it is already taking a chunk of daily users from tv as did tv from radio or online websites from printed news paper etc... *thing that surprises me the most is amount of people watching others play e.g
Twitch much faster growth than I would have expected over past couple of years
I am bias though as I am a gamer and have more than 25 years gaming under my belt so far, when I built my first PC was only 13 and why so I could do useful things like homework nope was to play Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein after school which for me was major 3d games "oh wow the graphics looks so cool amazing" at least thats what I thought compared with the spectrum 128 I started with
"unless it keeps an edge it will not advance"
My passion/obsession for games runs very deep thats why I continue till I get it right even if I need to do it mostly alone for years but just like my electronics/astronomy when its working right the feeling is out of this world pure excitement/bliss/joy something like that especially when its shared with family and friends often lose a week or two after trying to get it perfect though which is often OTT
my edge is the fact its not all about money nor about a wallet/coin its about the whole thing working as I see it which is hard to explain from a business point of view right now its a failure (over budget and seriously over due) but optimism helps blind that reality and keeps me going, and as for "fresh blood"/"new investors" bla bla it has little interest for me f*ck em if they dont understand let them get ripped off by some scam ahole with a over hyped/bs/ponzi/vaporware project he/she does not give a damn about once they got your loot
games development and publishing is the place I am heading there is no missing the boat/train crap some people come out with, I am stressed and "sassy" at times when some question things but its because I really do care/obsess about the things I do and am passionate about, something dev ops here in london does not do for me it only provides £££££ for my projects or expenses(no wife/kids) so I indulge in my projects when stuff works right the feeling makes all this bs we put up with in life worth it, I know some may find it bit sad act but its what does it for me
I already think I have the people that will also enjoy my vision not as many as some crypto projects thats for sure but the quality and good wishes is rewarding in its own right, although I do feel like taking this long to get my sh!t in order pull my finger out and release something is letting them down a bit and thats not so cool my bad sorry folks
if you dont understand what drives me or these projects then please save us both some time and just go elsewhere to something you do get! best of luck hope you strike it rich, get front row for a moon shot or find a golden investment that is worth more than the earth itself bla bla etc etc...
