TI Z80 / Calc Coin: A Bitcoin Proof of Concept
« on: January 07, 2014, 02:49:39 pm »
On Cemetech a few days ago, I brought up the idea to make a gCn enabled Bitcoin miner. The response was a simple NO. The difficulty is simply so high, probably the only money we would make would be confiscated by Kerm to pay for the gCn hub's power intake 
. Another option presented by gbl08ma was to make a Bitcoin wallet. This time, I decided not to because I do not want to be burned in effigy when users start losing all the millions of dollars they have made. The solution came to me when a friend asked me if I could make a new currency by calcs FOR calcs. This means that calculators will (in the future) have a currency of their own to mine!
This ambitious project will be coded in Axe. If this all works out, I might add an update to CalcCoin that would enable trading between calculators.
