Just had a wild idea, so bear with me:
Imagine an #opensource #cryptocrowdfunding model for software products, the kind you buy from @awscloud @Azure @GCPcloud and also the smaller players like @digitalocean and @Rackspace m, where there are no hardware licenses. 1/

You don’t even have to run the software or have access to the hardware running it in this model. Instead of #softwarelicensing, #developers set #crypto #staking thresholds which act as #digitalaccesscontroltokens; #stake x of whichever #Crypto, or y of another, with a discount 2/

when using the project’s #sidechain. So you get staking setup, and essentially get #APIkeys which allow you to join the network in r/w mode. Or you could say to heck with all that, I just want to pay someone. You can pay the network directly to do the work the software does. 3/

You add your inputs to the #blockchain and add some #gas, and the #NetworkDoesTheWork, and you get what you want without having to do it yourself.

All of this is a lead-in for the idea I had. Imagine a #NeuralNet, or #NeuralNets, running on a #cryoto network, running alongside each other cooperatively on the same network, each doing different tasks as determined by real people, real #miningequipment, real #physics.

#Dataflows via the #pathofleastresistance, like #water, seeking to always lose #entropy, and our data flows to #GPUs, #ASICs, #CPUs, you name it. And the network #lets it happen, and pushes it along. Mining pools can increase their benefit to the network via #incentives, which 6/

reward miners for meeting minimum performance targets and jobs that check out OK vis-à-vis the network. It’s a #cryptogifteconomy.

Add an auction with buy it now and breeding functions like in #cryptokitties, and honestly, I don’t know what we’re gonna get. #getrichordietrying, probably. Perhaps the network #hardware could have #failsafes and circuit breakers to prevent the #singularity.

Thoughts?🕵️‍♂️x 👨🏻‍💻

If this sounds cool, #TheFuturePlaysHere, and #futureWe plays with #cryptocurrency.
