Sustainable, efficient technology - With its unique PoR/PoS hybrid technology, the GRC blockchain uses PoS to secure its blockchain, while the entire computational capacity is devoted to performing computations for scientific research via PoR. This leads to a very efficient, and lean network, whose computational power is used for a noble purpose. - https://coinswitch.co/info/gridcoin/what-is-gridcoin One of the main advantages of Gridcoin is that crunching (“mining”) does useful scientific research - https://gridcoin.us/wiki/advantages-and-features Gridcoin attempts to address and ease the environmental energy impact of cryptocurrency mining through its proof-of-research and proof-of-stake protocols, as compared to the proof of work system used by Bitcoin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridcoin

p.s. the wallet can run on all major OS, the database will sync before you can finish you lunch and research crunching can be done on almost all devices including raspberrypi, android and old pcs

People who see a question as relevant and interesting to them, would add points or monetary incentives. Thereby increasing the speed and quality of the answers.
This mechanism has already been tested out and actually works only with crypto currency due to low transaction costs.

Here is an example: What makes you nostalgic? Answer with #Obyte Know-it-all and earn up to 410,172,272 Bytes : https://t.co/EaVFrscFC7 (enough Bytes to make > 700,000 transactions whenever you want in the future thanks to obytes' tiny predictable fees)
It works by adding a monetary incentive to any type of question you might encounter, for example:
We all look up answers on our phones, but what are some questions which you have not been able to look up and wish you can get answers to? Answer with Obyte and earn up to 34,196 bytes: https://particiate.net?#@208
I think of it as a readily available syllable->word database, which any chording mechanism can take advantage of.
You're right, arbitrary symbols is not stenotype's strength, but chording is somewhat, at least when number of key switches is limited and the whole keyboard size is really small.
I suppose the question is whether chording in a confined space is any better than a full size keyboard, because there is zero or less wrist movement and fingers do not need to reach out (no positional issues).
The answer to that question is yes, chording is better in a setting like mobile phones, which by the way is where we do most of our typing these days, so you shouldn't lose interest.
For applications that are moving more bytes from drives to memory, this means we need to wait for the transfer and we end up preferring to delegate these applications to the cloud instead of running on our own machine, because servers are where the ram is increasing and abundant.
So basically we are doing a lot more big ram computation elsewhere and doing small ram computation on our desktop
