Idea is cool, but please change "Proof of Thought" to something else, perhaps "Proof of Play", "Proof of Brain", "Proof of Motor" etc ... ?
"Thought" is pretty inaccurate, even though it is a nice thought Smiley


i was going to say 'proof-of-play' until i saw your post. Proof-of-play is an accurate description and proof-of-thought is retarded.

I like the idea, but it ultimately means that nerds who snort crank to play the game 24/7 will be the ones holding the majority of the coins. I may be slightly nerdy, but I don't have the time to spend playing games, and I'm going to become meth-head so I can stay up all night playing.

Then you do your day job and make money and pay the poor folk who don't have a day job so they sit around playing this game securing some coins.
A game that somehow was more than a waste of time would've been better though but also harder to make.
Still... protein folding comes to mind.
Then the poor people without a job could be making something useful and then you pay them for their time with your day job money and we all benefit with a better financial transaction system. ... aah utopian dreams.

This is a nice idea but won't work in practise for several reasons:

- Levels are generated pseudo-randomly so if you have access to the pseudo-random generator, you can make the levels considerably easier.
- Block solutions can simply be copied and used by someone else to try and prove that they were the one who completed the level
- If the physics of the game are deterministic and it is easy to prove someone really did solve a level then what prevents that process from being reversed and used to generate solutions. With SHA256 and scrypt they are one way functions so this can't be done.
- Even if solutions are found to all the above problems, computers will still become better at playing this game than humans ad we will be back to proof of work.

Without any released source files you should assume the coin is a pump and dump scam by the developer.

I really like this concept. But how do you plan to stop bots?
I understand this levels are generated randomly, but nearly everything is botable.

what stops someone from botting this game?
It isn't easy to make bot for this game. Sometime in the future maybe someone will make such a bot. Then this currency will be mined with these bots, it will be like switch from CPU -> GPU -> ASIC for other cryptocurrencies. But I don't expect this to happen soon.

Amazing, I like the idea though didnt Hunter coin also involve playing a game ?
Huntercoin can be mined with hardware (SHA256 or Scrypt). I don't know much about Huntercoin and what role game plays there, but in Motocoin game is used instead of hardware mining.

Idea is cool, but please change "Proof of Thought" to something else, perhaps "Proof of Play", "Proof of Brain", "Proof of Motor" etc ... ?
"Thought" is pretty inaccurate, even though it is a nice thought Smiley
I was thinking about "Proof of Play" but decided to name it "Proof of Thought". If there are a lot of people who think that this is wrong then I will think about renaming it.

This is an awesome idea!
The only way I would love this more was if the game was folding proteins.

YES, this is a great idea! Get coins by playing a useful game that actually makes a contribution of some kind. Folding proteins or exercising your brain. Make one, NOW!

This one looks more fun, reminds me of  a tv show or the X games.      I do wonder how we just replace all that btc work with just a game, amazing if its truly possible.


If this works then maybe other games, maybe coin launches become a vehicle for game publishing or something that turns the world upside down

Yes. Huntercoin was the first cryptocurrency launched for people to generate coins while playing the game. Therefore this one is not that innovative!

but hey... who knows maybe this one picks up where huntercoin failed.

At first it might look hard but after some practice it becomes simpler.

How do you prove that someone really played the level he got created? What if he modifies his client? How can you stop this behaviour?
This game has deterministic physics and all your game actions are saved so it is easy for each client to check if you really completed the level. If someone will modify client and change the game then he will fork the network and other clients will not accept blocks mined by him.
