Bitcorn wastes energy and is relatively unintelligent. Mining could require 
more intelligence at a particular power level thus wasting intelligence verses 
power.

Either way could use proof of stake or something else... proof of compression  
Main idea is self-organizing, autopoietic, decentralized, adaptive, 
negentropic, financially self-sustaining...

A problem is sourcing paid compression tasks. But I have some ideas there :)
