Since we’re talking about gamifying physical actions to produce a currency, I’ve always wondered if there was a way to gamify sexual activity such that you can influence human breeding for collective societal goals. Might be interesting to combine the idea of such currency with dating networks as well to see what happens.

Great idea, just have to wait for China to try it out

A while ago I had this idea for a "cryptocurrency" in which the proof of work would be a detailed image of a small part of the sky at a specific time of the year.

This in turn would be verified by telescopes watching larger patches of the sky, so obviously having a less detailed image of that specific piece, but enough to determine if the detailed image is believable.

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.

wow! I'd looked over the patent number and it seems things are coming together quite quickly.

From the patent details section it appears a hardware based mechanism which senses body activity and transmits data back to a device is included in the scope of this invention:

>For example, a brain wave or body heat emitted from the user when the user performs the task provided by an information or service provider, such as viewing advertisement or using certain internet services, can be used in the mining process. Instead of massive computation work required by some conventional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the body activity of the user can be a proof-of-work...

>A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. A cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify whether or not the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions...

> Sensor 140 may include, for example, but not limited to, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanners or sensors, electroencephalography (EEG) sensors, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors, heart rate monitors, thermal sensors, optical sensors, radio frequency (RF) sensors, ultrasonic sensors, cameras, or any other sensor or scanner that can measure or sense body activity or scan human body...

>Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,” “module” or “system.” Furthermore, aspects of the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product embodied in one or more computer readable medium(s) having computer readable program code embodied thereon...

The patent disclosures above seems to scope in integrations with some technology that's been a focus of Microsoft Research & MIT. Notably, an invention that was funded by Gates Foundation for medical data-storage on humans which is a "new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, [that] can remain for at least five years under the skin, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone." [1] The primary application they talk about for this in the press release below is vaccinations, which seems to what many feel will be required to overcome the ongoing pandemic threat.

Interestingly, another program funded by Gates Foundation and Microsoft Research [2] is id2020.org, which aims to provide everyone digital certificates [3] for digital identity tracking based on blockchain technology. Id2020 seems to be the only organization that's in place to 'standardize' digital certificates globally as countries move toward adopting digital certificates as a mechanism normal life [4] [5]

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…

But this might find a fertile ground at those proponents of an universal basic income. So anyone doing exercise "good" for his/her health will be rewarded, perhaps the intrinsic value here is the saved indirect cost of healthcare.

Now with the perfect opportunity to roll out global vaccinations! Everyone gets a chip, everyone gets an ID number, and the globalist NWO power transition is complete!

I brought this up in another thread and got flagged.

It makes me think about how 21st century slavery would look. You may not own property. The only way you get to live is constant work. Everything is rented. Everyone lives paycheck to paycheck. This would sort of jive well with a return to the Egyptian and Babylonian systems that the Abrahamic faiths were rebelling against.

I read the bible cover to cover and a huge theme in it is private property. That's one of the major differences in the Abrahamic faiths is that people can own property and the king cannot take property without adequate compensation and the king cannot take one's wife. In the Egyptian and Babylonian systems, anyone higher up on totem pole can do absolutely anything they want to anyone lower on the totem pole.

Why are you speechless? Your comment invites no conversation and provokes no deliberation. Please expand on it.

Because “centralized cryptocurrency” is an oxymoron

That is not true, cryptocurrencies do not necessarily have to be decentralised.

Although I suppose that depends on your definition, but then you would be disqualifying something like XRP from being a cryptocurrency. Which people generally agree is.

If payments are conditioned on the completion of assigned tasks then it's not UBI. The beneficiaries still have to choose to participate and actually do the work, so it's really just another job.
