Soft fork proposal in Bitcoin to repurpose its infrastructure into a global distributed computer… Petaflops revisited..
Substitution of hash calculations with diverse computational tasks like Deep Net training, GANs & arbitrary NP computations.
PNPCoin: 'Distributed Computing on Bitcoin infrastructure' by Martin Kolar.
Fuck that shit
I know… But supercomputer can do several heterogeneous things, while Bitcoin network does only add blocks to the Timechain.. ‘Ain’t dealing with ordinals’.
Bitcoin > TaihuLight..
This paper is only the clutch of the future potential threat to Bitcoin: Quantum Computing!
So nothing in a block is important?
Let’s rekt the network for stuff it wasn’t meant for?
SHA256 is fine for now.
If & only if when needed we will move to a quantum resistant algorithm like SHA512.
