The most obvious application would be weather forecasting: It could use a huge amount of computation, on a continuously ongoing basis, and is valuable to every nation on earth. Whether it can be lasso'ed into a bitcoin-mining engine, I don't know.</div><div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441831708149_4297"> Jim Bell<br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
