Does science need a bitcoin?
What if there was an electronic coin in which it&#x27;s network were to actually solve real world computational problems relating to science.<p>Let&#x27;s say a cure for a disease can only be found using a computer model, they could put a bounty on that cure and when that cure is discovered all the clients running the algorithm would be rewarded with a share of that solution.<p>Say it takes 1000 blocks to solve a problem worth $1m dollars you get a 1000th of the $1m bounty.<p>Those sciencecoins would have no value until the solution is found though.
