“Self-adjusting block reward: The Primecoin protocol takes approach different from Bitcoin: the number of Primecoins released per block is not fixed but is always equal to 999 divided by the square of the difficulty”—from Wikipedia

What a stunning and unique design! Sunny King is more “wicked” than Satoshi! For Primecoin, the more the hashing power is, the less coins miners can get!

So there is a positive recycling here: the more the hashing power is, the less coins miners can get; the less coins mined, the higher the price is; the higher the price, the more the hashing power is…

Once mathematicians become “evil”, they are just invincible under heaven!

Alfred Bernhard Nobel considered mathematics useless in his time.

Later, people think mathematics is somewhat useful, but as for number theory, not productive.

With the advent of computer, number theory began to attract attention.

With the advent of internet, experts of number theory began to enjoy a great advantage.

With the advent of democurrency, experts of number theory can just make money! No payslips! No boss! They just “make” money!! They just invent cryptocurrencies and use them! Ho, that’s so awesome, isn’t it?!!

This world has been utterly changed! Much more than what we can imagine.

In the past, a scholar can never win an argument with a soldier (a Chinese saying). Now, a mathematician is just a superman, other people are just his followers begging for food.

We fear neither God nor Satan, but we are afraid of bandits with an IQ above 160!

The world is going crazier than we can imagine!…
