THis is more of a philosophy topic than anything. I think about mining and how all those rigs are out there sucking down juice, making heat, just so one can get a few BTC that may or may not be worth something 10 or 20 years from now. (while I think it will, factually speaking...anything can happen it is a real possibility that btc crashes)I'm not an environmentalist by any means, I am into doing things in the most efficient and responsible way however.
This makes me think...is there a better way? Can a new coin or btc alteration be introduced that simply makes everyday tasks into mining and then use any resultant heat for something else. For instance, what if every car was a miner like say everytime you hit the brakes or mabey just attached to your engine output shaft or something of that type. Doesn't need to be much, point is not to make money. Or walking..strap a pedometer type device on and your mining while walking. What if your miners were heating homes and water (seen a few projects of this type out there already). Doesn't need much, low hashrate per everydaytask x trillions of everydaytasks being done=high hash rate. It's the ultimate one world order without a central controlling body.
The high level advantages would be everyone could be a miner just by doing everyday things and that would ensure diversity in the mining pool for centuries. Disadvantages would obviously be why would you do this if there no real reward. Under current rules every day tasks may result if oyur lucky in 1 satoshi/year if that. I dunno....just thinking out loud really.....not sure if its viable or feasible. But interesting pondering sometimes.........
