The vast majority of Devcoins are essentially mined by human creative work.
180M coins are distributed to people who earn shares for developing open source software, completing bounties, and writing on devtome, which pays 1 share for between 700 and 2000 words depending on the writer's quality. See sig for devtome link. The number of shares acts as the effective difficulty in earning devcoins, which is getting harder and harder (just like bitcoin mining). The coin has been around for 2 years but devtome is a fairly recent addition.
eg
http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com put round 33 in there with blank name in the search to see the most recently completed round.
yeah.. that is somewhat or almost close to what i was thinking. But anyway thanks for the info.
It should be possible, after all proof-of-work is basically just about spam-protection so in principle any kind of captcha could do. Implementation is not easy though
Some problems:
1. Block generation rate should be pretty constant and it would be hard to come up with human mining system that has adjustable difficulty. You would also need need to have miners available 24/7 to be able to use the system.
2. System should be decentralized: only shared state should be in the blockchain. How would one generate puzzles/captchas without central server?
I think Huntercoin is the coin you are searching.
It's solving the needed math with mining, but distributes 80% of the mined coins onto the map, where i can be human mined.
Because of these problems I doubt you can have purely human mineable coin that is still useful as a coin. Hybrid coin with block generation done by POW/POS and human miners just generating extra coins could work (I think Huntercoin is pretty close to this). Pretty much only difference to faucets that give out premined coins (or Gridcoin, I guess) would be that the system would be decentralized.
Well first one is pretty much possible since day and night is different for hemisphere ( i mean countries ) so it is possible to have some miners 24x7 . And for second one i will have to look into it.
Check out HunterCoin.
Yeah ..I checked but is not purely Human Mineable crypto...

Apps for all platforms including smartphones and tablets are in development, allowing anyone anywhere to participate and without the need to download GBs of data.
