It's already happening, I'm sure of it. You should check out this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-the-enabler-truly-autonomous-software-agents-roaming-the-net-53855
We've been discussing this for a long time, the technology is there, just need people to make it more mainstream.
Topic: provably locked virtual machines? (Read 515 times)
once we have decentralized trading and also the ability to buy and access time in the cloud servers using tokens from decentralized trading, i was thinking it would be cool if a VM could bid on it's own life
meaning that it would be given some amount of BTC to start out with and intelligence to be able to parse blockchain looking for offers of tokens that are known to give access to cycles on cloud servers and bid on those offers so that i could move from server to server or even distribute itself among a few machines.
then once this exists, if there were a way to prove that any virtual machines that controls some BTC address has it's data full encrypted and that when it was compiled or created that the password that was created with it was so random that it is near impossible to bruteforce.
then this machine could stay alive and perhaps different kinds are made to provide some kind of service that would usually require a trusted human or organization? and maybe they can spawn off more clones
or are we too far away from this?
