I understand that a central respository of work and the need to make the busywork scale cleanly and linearly makes it tough to be decentralized, but I regularly wish that a dominant cryptocurrency could find a way to do proof of (real) work with these cycles. There are so many projects which just lack for computing power (e.g. folding, prime hunting, etc), so it feels like even more of a waste to turning real power into arbitrary hashes.
