A blockchain in 200 lines of code
I wonder if anyone thought of making a distributed operating system where 1-2 million people could all run a NINTENDO console or something else extremely primitive - but in way that they KNOW no one is pulling any shenanigans.<p>Can you imagine how cool it would be if a million or, say, a hundred million people joined forces to do what a $60 mobile phone can do?<p>This is absolutely the future.  No doubt about it.  No one can ever conceivably come up with a paradigm as cool as this level of redundancy.  And on top of all of this, it even works.  (Not as designed, because 51% of miners may be controlled by one entity, but in practice it totally works.)
