DNA reading human current powered nanotech tattoo with laser directional speakers, built in processor...

The company is called frog something.... Dont know if they ever finished the product. It was supposed to be able to tell you if your sick or unhealthy, and even tell you what you dna is like from your parents ie what kind of immune system u have and what you are vulnerable to. I think this was just a pipe dream of theirs, however they did make the first set of glasses that is like todays google glasses. and that was back in ... 2002 ish . I think it was they had a bunch of fringe tech stuff they wanted to build, some got made others are still sci fi.

hrm, quick google search and bam...

ok, so how to go about this proof of life in a manner that is efficient yet secure? you mentioned using mail, how a bout a pop up in the client that requires user input at shar submission? would'nt it then also be possible to have set share submission intervals from registered users who have registered clients? I know it sounds leaning towards closed source but having this kind of system would allow a much broader platform compatibility, lower internet usage, lower blockchain securing costs and lower hardware requirements.

Why pay $70 for a World of Warcraft character you could have scripts train up for you using less than $7 or maybe less than $1 of electricity?

People do, though. Just easier to throw bucks at stuff sometimes than to learn how to do it yourself or, even knowing how, to take the time to actually do it.

Why buy tulip bulbs at outrageously inflated prices? Thinking of selling them on to a bigger fool, maybe?

I guess that could also explain why pay people to play world of warcraft all day and night for you like some gold-farms do...

well then, lets take this to the next level then , let's call if POL , "proof of life". however someone just asked me how people will perceive it to be valuable if they did not really put effort into it.... as current people give currency value based on how much time they spent mining it and how much they paid to mine it..

The problem with that is botnet owners can thus run hundreds of thousands of other people's computers just as easily.

At least requiring GPU or FPGA or ASIC makes less zombie machines eligible to reasonably do it.

You could maybe run your operation darn near as well though if you were receiving a few emails a day asking are you human questions, couldn't you? If you maybe had an email address or SMS messaging number or something known only to your mining machines not to telemarketers all over the world?

(Oops forget phone numbers, they call all possibly/potential numbers; but email should be fine?)

So maybe for you with maybe only a few hundred rigs or maybe even less than a hundred you could handle it, but a botnet operator with a few hundred thousand rigs might need to hire staff?

Then a new "proof of human" thing maybe ideal. but overall attention, requirements have lowered, without any help from me my miners can now go weeks without any problems, they reboot every 72hrs , auto start mining and switch pools automatically. I only touch one which i use for mining new coins. now with a stable machine, always online pools and cryptoswitcher + my trading bot....i barely need to do anything. And most who i have given this system agree that it is convenient. Now i want to remove the heavy hardware component in that equation.

Requiring attention is not a problem for coin distribution,  as people whose attention can be directed elsewhere more-profitably should be directed elsewhere; basically a coin that is worth less than your attention is not a coin you should be paying attention for, you are better off using your attention to raise social, material or economic capital with which to purchase the coin, or directing your attention to something productive so there will be things people can actually buy with the coins. (If everyone spends all their time/attention scraping up the initial tokens/coins the system will be using, there won't be anything to use them on, in the extreme - reducio ad absurdum - case.)

In fact, requiring attention could actually help distribute the coins to actual people rather than to botnet operators etc.

Possibly even securing the network could ideally want at least enough attention to try to make a reasonably informed decision as to whether your node should trust a huge selection of beagle brothers and other known scammers/criminals or just scrooge McDuck and a few of his almost as rich rivals; or whatever other set of choices for a consensus based network like Ripple you think might give you the best chance of not hearing only from a conspiracy of sybil-attackers...

The advent of new mining tech has lowered cost and increased efficiency. I'd like to start discussing the development of cryptos that can be generated by anyone without need of a GPU or Asic. My eventual goal is to develop a method that works from a pc and has similar efficiency to perhaps a mobile device. I've want to develop a method of coin generation that is not really hardware dependent yet also not too inconvenient.

Games have been suggested but i think games take too much attention. Browser based mining has shown to be inefficient and vulnerable. The system should also try to encourage anonymity.  By developing new coin generation methods that have new "proof" ideals...with a view towards easy widespread adoption and eco-friendliness via use of minimal resources, I'm hoping to build a system that can be quickly adopted into everyday use.

I've had a few small Q n As with people but i'd like to hear what the community thinks of such an idea.
