What algorithm would you use to verify Hadamard matrices?


You're going to verify work by human intervention? Sorry, but this makes zero sense from a logistical standpoint.

THE ABACUS COIN is a revolutionary framework for alternative currency based on the monetization of rare, unique, and industry-applicable mathematical objects.
THE ABACUS COIN is unique among alternative currencies in that its proof-of-work has inherent value (in contrast to the essentially wasteful SHA-2 proof-of-work that BitCoin and LiteCoin use). Additionally, it has the capability to diversify in its value. It does this by forming “iterations”, or different lines of searches for mathematical objects.
For example, one iteration (which may be termed something other than THE ABACUS COIN) may search for prime numbers, while another would search for Hadamard matrices. These two discreet lines of proof-of-work remain under the parent currency (THE ABACUS COIN), making it increasingly valuable and versatile. This allows for different lines of research compatible (or more effective under) different computing architectures or hardware configurations.
Additionally, the proof-of-work algorithm for any given THE ABACUS COIN iteration is not fixed. One user may search combinatorially for an object, while another could develop their own method of searching. The second user would likely find objects faster and would thus have increased hashing power. This allows for user innovation and ever-increasing network power not dependant on technological advances, such as smaller transistors, or the development of application specific hardware (i.e. ASICs).
THE ABACUS COIN is almost entirely self-sufficient, in that mathematical objects are effective proof-of-work per se. The only central interference with any given instance is the actual creation of the instance. Once the instance is registered, any user on the peer-to-peer mining network may begin applying resources to that instance.
Falsification of work is impossible since mathematical proof of any instance is possible either by computer, or by theorem (which could be attained from a professional in the field or public academic materials).
THE ABACUS COIN will be attractive to both the private sector and academia in that it creates a high-powered computing network to do research that would otherwise be costly to the interested party. This provides additional value to the coin.
Sample Iteration & Algorithm:
A sample of an THE ABACUS COIN iteration would be a prime number search. Users would submit numbers or ranges of numbers that do not contain primes. The default algorithm may be to use a Fermat primality test, which could then be improved by users to run more efficiently (for example on hardware), or augmented with other sieving methods in order to provide more comprehensive proofs and ranges that do or do not contain primes.

Nothing Makes it impossible to mine

Miners will be able to mine as well outside of the cloud

interesting idea.... but what hardware do you have that makes it impossible for us to mine given the correct software?

no

Parts of it not all of it

That's you white paper?

The Abacus Coins have three primary goals.

Foremost, they are to be a new method of advancing and trading mathematical knowledge so that the credit for their work goes to the mathematicians and programmers.

The Abacus Coins will rise in value based on both mathematical breakthroughs and the discovery of rare mathematical objects. This is in keeping with the original, cryptographically-based alternative currencies, in that these discoveries are provable, unique, and impossible to counterfeit.

The first difference lies in the fact that while most crypto-currencies are based on arbitrary, rare objects, The Abacus Coins commodities are based in real-world-applicable objects such as primes, Hadamard matrices, ternary complimentary pairs, and other useful objects.

Secondly, market value is bid on by people who can use these objects. TCPs can be used in signal jamming and filtering, so Raytheon may ascribe value to these. Primes are valuable because of their cryptographic uses among other things, and therefore might be ascribed value by a security firm.

Finally, new objects may not have an end-market use but may show potential and thus would have its value rise.

This system gives a positive feedback loop to mathematical research and development, as well as crediting those who pioneer maths or simply find rare objects.

Each concept and object type would constitute a commodity, and The Abacus Coins are the currency in which they are traded in. This fits well into the larger market of alternative currencies and provides the world with a new sort of invaluable commodity.

The Abacus Coins are fully scalable and can be regulated as needed to make sure that the economy is stable.

Not only is this an impenetrably strong market, it also benefits researchers worldwide in their pursuit of mathematical understanding and research.

The Abacus Coins has started its pilot phase with leading Ph.D.s who are all ecstatic about the programme and are now really looking forward to seeing what new objects can now be discovered.

The Abacus Coins are the most unique, and perhaps most important, research initiative the world has ever seen.
