Proposal for a fully decentralized blockchain and proof-of-work algorithm for solving NP-complete problems
Carlos G. Oliver, Alessandro Ricottone, Pericles Philippopoulos
We propose a proof-of-work algorithm that rewards blockchain miners for using computational resources to solve NP-complete puzzles. The resulting blockchain will publicly store and…
