Don't waste the resources...
A quote of mine from the other thread about cryptocurrency (edited to fix the math I got a bit wrong due to posting when tired):
"At a rough calculation for BitCoin, the current hash rate is around 10,000 Thash/s. There are 25 BitCoins issued per 10 minutes.
Hashes per BitCoin:
= (network hash rate) / (25 BTC per 10 minutes)
= (10,000 * Th / s) / (25 * BTC / (600 * s) )
= 10,000 * 600 / 25 * Th / s / BTC * s
= 240,000 Th / BTC
= 240,000,000,000,000,000 h/BTC
So 239,999,999,999,999,999 valid hashes (which meet the cryptographic requirements and can be used to secure a transaction) are calculated and discarded for every coin mined. Multiply by 25 for hashes discarded per one used since it's one block of 25 coins per hash and that's an efficiency of around 1.04x10-19. Statistically and practically 0.
My point is simply that all that calculation, all those CPU and GPU cycles and all that power should be used for SOMETHING.
I'm just saying that the difficulty associated with creating the currency is artificial and could be any arbitrary "work" as long as there is some valid way of proving that the "work" was done.
It doesn't have to have anything to do with the currency itself. It could even be, heaven forbid, REAL work that people do to create some product or service, but that's a bit hard to find proof for. It's the thing that should give currency it's real value (as in, "this is what I would give you for that thing")."
TLDR; All the current cryptocurrencies that I know of waste your computers time calculating data that is discarded simply to provide a proof that some form of "work" was done so they can adjust the generation rate of the "coins". Wait until CureCoin is running so you can do something useful with all those CPU / GPU cycles (they use folding@home for proof of work) instead of wasting power.
