MinorMiner: Mining Bitcoin with Children's Math Homework?

Hobert Reaton pitches a groundbreaking investment opportunity: MinorMiner, a platform that mines Bitcoin using children's math homework. By breaking down the SHA-256 hashing algorithm into simple arithmetic problems, the platform transforms kids' assignments into computational resources. They've also developed the CUDAAAAGH library, distributing computations across a vast pool of 'computation partners' (students). Future plans include applying this technology to AI training and even building a computer system entirely powered by children. A controversial yet imaginative venture.
