Revelations 13:17 So that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. Patent number is: 060606 Thats a funny coincidence.
I really hope this is fake.
Seems easy to game.
If the human activity involves doing something reCaptcha-/mechanical turk-esque then that's likely the point: incentivising development of systems that game this would likely result in novel AI models/tech

Did Microsoft really file this or is it some kind of 4chan prank? Embedded microchips monitoring brain wave activity and releasing rewards for viewing advertisements (one of the many examples from the document). These seems too “out there.” I really hope this is fake.

I don't understand what makes this a "cryptocurrency" instead of just any kind of currency token. I know that it's mostly a buzzword these days but at the very least I'd expect cryptocurrencies to involve some kind of cryptographic proof for transactions. Here as far as I can tell it's just some centralized system monitoring user/guinea pig activity and issuing some token currency based on an unspecified algorithm. I…
Proof-of-Work alternatives that could distinguish between a human and spoofing attempts is an important problem. This patent is about this problem but it does not put forward a solution. It's probably an attempt for patent trolling in the unlikely case that a feasible genius solution would be found.
"[0002] Several cryptocurrencies exist. Among these, the most well known is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency. Most blockchain-based cryptocurrency is decentralized in the sense that it has no central point of control. However, blockchain-based cryptocurrency can also be implemented in a centralized system having a central point of control over the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is one of the examples of blockchain-based cr…
