Rethinking Proof Of Work: A Hybrid Protocol

in #ecency29 days ago (edited)

As the age of intelligent machines dawns, could we in some sense reimagine the famous consensus protocol that powers Bitcoin and has ushered us in the era of decentralized ecosystems. Could it evolve beyond brute force computations?

Imagine a consensus mechanism where humans and machines could collaborate and cognitive effort and human creativity are part of the mining process. Now, instead of simply solving hash puzzles, participants or miners as we call them could engage in tasks that require human insight including but not limited to ethical judgements and gamified challenges. Both protocol and the algorithm remains the same bit the definition of "work" changes. Such a mechanism not only rewards energy consumption but also meaningful human contributions.

Thus in a way this hybrid model democratizes participation and redefines labor. Wht are your thoughts on this ?

This is my ideal future, however, I base possible futures on past history and a lot of humans are just greedy and vile.

It would be nice if AGI and humanity merge into something wonderful, but I don't possess high hopes for this future.
