You'd have to find something humans can do better than computers iteratively
I think one thing that a computer might not be able to do but might be easily verifiable by a computer is detect "human randomness"
An interesting point of view.
Nike is doing something along these lines, Nike Sweat Points

Also from a social perspective such a design will cause people that work on physical jobs, and usually belong to lower-middle class, to catch up easier with the rest.
I mean a doctor will charge more of course for his services but a worker will have a larger return from mining

That's why it would be so revolutionary, can you imagine a system in which physical labor jobs actually pays more than white collar desk jobs?

Great idea but very difficult to do. I can imagine insurance companies, sports companies and alt coiners all loving it!
I thought of something related to a cycling power meter, but it would be easy to fake..

Solving captchas? I imagine a future full of human mining farms, creepy.

oh! its simple, its called selling stuff you made, for some other stuff someone other made that you considered of equal value.
It have exists is the last tens of thousand years, and probably before that too.

Aside from the sarcasm, that doesn't address the question of whether or not it's possible to create a human only minable cryptocoin?
Devcoin is a step in that direction, its 'earned' by writing (but not directly mined by writing).
If this takes off, tell me. I want in on the idea. Think it sounds brilliant

Yeah it may involve something like those mobile apps that count how many steps you do or something. 
That's what I was thinking, like maybe it give new gps coordinates based on your location and each gps coordinate is a random guess to some algorithm that statistically matches some number in the network x% of the time.

I've been thinking about this a alot...but does anyone have any conceptual ideas on how to create a coin that is only mineable by human energy?
I think such an alt coin would be more revolutionary than bitcoin, money is directly linked to the physicality of any individual...would this not make society more democratic if such a coin took off?
I know it's a crazy showerthought idea, but just curious as to the feasibility of such a thing?
