@boxmining My overarching thought is that the computing power used to mine Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Dash, Siacoin, etc., could just as easily be pooled together and "rented" to organizations, institutions, governmental agencies to solve some of their most complex problems. AND that the GPU form of mining is a perfect segway to a world computer built for an entire VR universe because the majority of the graphics/ecosystem will be easily hosted across the distributed network. So instead of tossing those old GPU mining rigs, maybe hold onto them for distributed processing when the world moves to VR/ "The Matrix."
