I was just reading about the «Intelligent Internet» protocol. Essentially #ProofOfWork, but specifically proof of «useful work» i.e., AI compute.
Adding some productive byproduct of the energy spent mining seems like a great idea if possible. But to me it seems like it would be difficult to replicate the security of #Bitcoin in such a system.
Anyone more knowledgeable - giving this the benefit of the doubt - how secure could such a system be? What are the tradeoffs made to allow the energy to be more useful?
