gollark: Yet again, overuse of CC provides a solution(ish): cryptographic signatures.
gollark: We could run a different CC-based currency.
gollark: Seems to work well, except that early adopters or people with good GPUs have all the krist.
gollark: Switchcraft (CC/OC-only server) uses a not-really-cryptocurrency (basically just proof of work and addresses, it's centralized and doesn't use many of the same concepts).
gollark: IC2 does, yes, I forgot.
