Microsoft Files New Patent forMining Cryptocurrency by Exercising

2020/04/02

The American PC giant and Tech pioneer is proposing a new system of mining Cryptocurrency. In a new patent, Microsoft proposes that cryptocurrencies can be mined using data collected from humans as they exercise or read an advertisement.
In a patent application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the American Tech giant said sensors could recognize action related with explicit assignments –, for example, time spent survey promotions – and convert it into PC meaningful information to take care of computational issues, similarly as a customary evidence of-work framework.
"Instead of massive computation work required by some conventional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the body activity of the user can be a proof-of-work, and therefore, a user can solve the computationally difficult problem unconsciously," the patent application reads.
The patent goes on to say,
"Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. A cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify whether or not the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified."
Microsoft says the framework could be utilized to boost clients to play out specific undertakings. Scanners can recognize movement from particular sorts of assignments, for example, mental focus when perusing an advert, that can check squares and prize the client with digital forms of money.
