Playing Chess on TV broadcasts as crowds (Deep Blue vs. Rest of the World)

I think this could work.
The board would be shown on TV and people would have addresses for all possible moves at that situation.
The move with more coins during the past hour or so would decide the next move.
The 3 leading moves would be featured ongoing... to attract more reasoning and traction of those.
Would IBM's Deep Blue still win? Maybe...

The user that would have sent more coins to move addresses that did succeed for a move on last game won would be able to put a tweet that would be displayed as a subtitle caption till the next winning of the rest of the world team. Or, maybe, everyone would have their tweets showed duding as much time percent as percent of coins sent.

The problem you have is that the popular choice of move does not necessarily make the best choice of move. Those who can think and plan that bit further are in a minority.

If Twitch Plays Pokemon taught us anything it's that crowds are awful at working together to play a game!  I'm sure Deep Blue would slaughter "the world", if a game was played in this fashion.

How about Deep Blue vs World Community Grid computing power.

Fritz would annihilate Deep Blue.

As a huge chess fan, I've thought a lot about how chess could be merged with bitcoin. A fat BTC wallet and "versus the world"-style play might be interesting, but the quality of play would be dubious. Other than chess.com accepting bitcoin, combining chess with bitcoin is deceptively challenging under any but the strictest of playing conditions. Too easy to cheat.

I've thought that getting some Grand Masters involved would help. Magnus Carlsen would be ideal, but he's probably too aloft in his ivory tower to bother with bitcoin publicly. Aronian, Caruana, or Nakamura might be open to bitcoin. Most young GMs are young, bright, and savvy enough to understand bitcoin's potential.
