It seems to me that, instead of performing totally useless computations for
POW, a group like CERN might enlist the miners to search for W-Boson events
from their detector trails, or astronomers might enlist the mining enclaves
to search for SETI events… (no joke…)

umm… was this supposed to be some kind of joke? I’ll bite... I don’t get
it. I was actually hoping to learn something here...

But the code does look rather peculiar on close inspection. Why the use of
macros for pushing new transaction blocks? And the conversions to octet
vectors may work for strings, but not in general for arbitrary integer or
float values…

If it is supposed to be a joke, I’ll chuckle and just chuck the code…


I guess not: https://dev.to/damcosset/trying-to-understand-

It’s like, everybody will be busy implementing blockchains.  It’s the new
fizz-buzz…


… or planting tulips :) :) :)
