This is fascinating, because I believe that this is exactly the sort of path (maybe not this exact path, but something similar!) that Gridcoin will end up taking in the future. While this specific proposal will most likely fade away (nothing personal, just requires massive effort and thus has low odds of success ), the best part about distributed open-source software is that nothing really prevents someone with sufficient motivation and resources from making something like this happen. Doesn't really require anyone else's approval or cooperation, just a vision and the hard work and funding (from whatever source) to pull it off.

And at that stage, we're essentially out-Golem-ing Golem and the other would-be distributed computing crypo-tokens while being an actual blockchain and hopefully still having some value for people who don't or can't actually crunch BOINC projects.:)

Point being, these types of posts excite me, because eventually somebody will pull it off. It'll be fun to see who that is.
