That is a very, very good point. I have no counter arguments. Thanks for sharing!

Truth is I don't have time to dig in this right now. I thought if the idea was good maybe I could motivate somebody else.

I just hope we can get rid of PoW the way it is soon.

Hell yeah, why do you think I'm getting married? :P As long as there is mutual support, I'd not worry. I'd be proud to be supported by my future wife.

For proof of work to be fair, you need a robust & secure job that produces results with a uniform distribution of zeros and ones. FHE gives you that, while performing useful computation.

> Hey @VitalikButerin, instead of doing proof of work with useless puzzles, why don't we use that massive GPU compute power to help science with numerical computation? We could wrap the problem using @HomomorphicEnc techniques. Efficiency would improve overtime. ASICs are welcome.

What's your opinion?

What about cosmic crisp?

I hope somebody at Microsoft read this. It goes far beyond security vulnerabilities. The Teams Linux client is barely usable. Chromebooks don't even have a client.

Could Microsoft expose an API and allow third party clients to be developed?
