Maybe it can be good advertising for the currency, but maybe also that the if the same CPU cycles were used in the mining process the currency can be perceived stronger because of the bigger CPU backing... Who knows which is better?
What difference, if any, do you think it would make to psychological uptake
if some portion of cpu cycles were used for one or more of the several social
distributed computing projects.
I am referring to NOAA atmospheric research, SETI, cancer research, etc... standing projects
which are happy to have your spare CPU cycles to help with their particular number crunching
needs.
Work done for society and future. Would it help anchor a currency in terms of perceived value?
