Oh I am so so sorry I didn't see your gender and assumed it to be a (he). { really sorry about that once again}

Also didn't expect you to respond to my comment xD

I went through the slow realization of while reading this comment that you are the creator of anubis and I had such a smile when I realized that you commented to me.

Also, this project is really nice, but I actually want to ask, I haven't read the docs of anubis but could it be that the proof of work isn't wasted / it can be used for something (I know I might get downvoted because I am going to mention cryptocurrency, but nano currency has a proof of work required for each transaction, so if anubis actually does the proof of work as by nano standards, then theoretically that proof of work could atleast be some useful)

Looking forward to your comment!




Useful as a for-profit cryptocurrency? I think zero chance.

The only way I see anything like that incorporated is a folding@home kind of thing that could help humanity as a whole.

Of course, if someone makes it work like you suggested, and it catches on, I will personally haunt your dreams forever. Don't give them any ideas.
