Are they allowed an abacus at least?

make game like minecraft where they have to invest time

Or cookie clicker

Yes, you just basically would reward whoever at the physical location guess a number 1-10000000000000 or so, give them unlimited amount of guesses.

You'd have to control all the coins, or maybe make some kind of automatic guessing program that rewards you for being correct, that you you/creator of the coin controls.

Make it so that you have to play a game of tetris in order for it to keep mining, but every time you lose the game it erases your progress for the session. For example, you could have to keep playing tetris for an hour continuously without losing for the program to decrypt one block. The longer it takes to decrypt a block, the longer you have to keep playing. If you lose the game before you finish decrypting the block, the progress for that block should be reset to 0.

Captcha ?

Make a MOBA based on mining coins.
People waste more time in those games than any other, MMORPG's included.

>>224151
>You actually have to be physically present

This kills the currency. Do you even understand what a cryptocurrency is for?

>>224186
Not a bad idea at all.
But dota is too well developed. itl'l eat your market share forever.

But interesting idea. Imagine angry birds, where you are mining coins in the background so that even if you suck and fail at it, you're still slowly profiting.

>>224185
CaptchaCoin, you get coins by solving captchas.

Then having the most influential players, the best players encourage those who are not as good.

Is the irony lost on anyone that society is paying people money to waste their time?

>>224682

Yes, it's called "the modern banking establishment"

i'm experienced in creating crypto algorithms so if anyone is interested in developing this idea let me know

Use huge images and puzzle pieces.

Pick an image with features that are easily recognizable by humans but not by machines. Create a puzzle of 10,000 pieces or so. Have the program memorize how the pieces were placed when the final image is created. Have the confirmation algorithm check to make sure that those pieces in those placements generate the same image.

...never mind, well-programmed image recognition software could probably match a puzzle piece to its location in the image fairly quickly

The mining process shouldn't have a significant effect on the long term viability of the currency, because once it is mined you use it just like any other.

>>225062
>I do not know how Cryptos work

The mining is how transactions are verified. Get rid of mining and you do indeed kill the currency

>>224151
This already exists and it's called gold.

"Go: Go is perhaps the largest and most complex game that humans have tried to solve, with a 19x19 board that results in a whopping 10,170 possible positions (InWap). Whereas an average chess position allows for 15 to 25 moves, Go positions allow approximately 250 moves. While the strongest Go computer programs are competitive with champion Go players on modified nine-by-nine boards, the complexity of the regulation boards is such that the programs can be beaten easily by even moderately intelligent children (AI Horizons)."

Games that maximize possible moves play into humans strength of intuition.

there's no pleasure, no fun in solving captcha.
if it's humanly produced there should at least be an pleasurably or interesting aspect to it.

>>225138
Gamificate it.
Turn it into an MMO.
You level up by solving catpchas.

>>224151
So basically you're telling us that you want to make a video game that has a currency, and you want people to use this video game money as real-world currency.

>>224151
Basically you need a problem that can be solved by humans but cannot be solved by machines. Problem is, absolutely all these problems are relative/subjective, so there are various levels of "solved."

>CaptchaCoin, you get coins by solving captchas.
>computers
>incapable of solving captcha
lol

Lots of computer image algorithms that can do it, just not consistently.

>>225185
Humans are cheaper than computers though.

Just make the whole thing proof of stake-verified to avoid the necessity of actual mining, and give people a few coins from a premine pool for solving a captcha.
Captcha rewards pool can get additional funds from transaction fees and inflation.

People will happily solve captchas for a bunch of coins, while you sell the solved captchas to spam botnets for fiat money.

>>225189
Holy shit.

You're on to something.

>>225191
Of course I am.

And should you ever feel like you made enough money by selling solved captchas, you can just dump the undistributed reward pool on an exchange and run away with the money.

>>224151
Make a trading application and reward users that earn well, with your coins... Oh wait. Ok, never mind, going back to work.

>I want to make it impossible for a computer to automatically do everything when mining
Oh shit you were serious
