gollark: But yeah, proof of work is an... okay... solution to the problem of allocating krist without it being specific to a server or something, it's just not ideal because it wastes everyone's GPU power.
gollark: I mean, not too much *new* krist.
gollark: I don't think there's a problem with too much krist.
gollark: Krist is in a weird position of being vaguely cryptocurrency-ish in that it uses anonymous-ish addresses and uses proof of work, but being completely centralized and not really having a use for the b l o c k c h a i n feature.
gollark: I probably could, on my desktop's somewhat dead GTX 1050, but meh.
