gollark: Proof of work is wildly wasteful, proof of stake is just built-in inequality, and I don't know of any saner ways.
gollark: My main problem with cryptocurrencies is the fact that they end up needing to replicate unreasonably large amounts of data everywhere, and allocation of coins is a hard problem without any reasonably good solutions.
gollark: You obviously run into the issue of "what if the key is leaked", though.
gollark: Hypothetically you could have a cryptocurrency where only the government can issue a coin - instead of mining it (proof of work), it would just be digitally signed by a government key.
gollark: They totally can.
