I want to add some sort of cryptocurrency payment authentication to be able to log in and edit.
I hope this will kill spammers dead if we charge-for-edit, and if not, it at least helps pay the server cost. I've also proposed a cryptographic currency that uses a human-usable proof-of-work instead of just hashing. I'd say producing a working open-graphics GPU in silicon is a pretty good proof, and anyone contributing to the wiki now should be compensated in opengraphicscoin when it's finally released. Of course, that may be another 50 years. :-/ The specific alorithm on *how* to compensate everyone is left as an excercise for future generation mailing list flamewars. We can, however agree on the edit history. Worth a try, right? I also have an idea how to make TCAD and finfet simulation a 'proof of work' for a hypothetical 'transistorcoin', but it still requires a fab at some point to validate the simulation, so the simulations and currency wouldn't be worth anything until a fab actually made the damn thing and it worked. Isn't this just the model for the semiconductor industry? Spend a few billion dollars on 'I hope I get to market first'?
