This is very exciting. Here is the APK I downloaded. And the associated discussion.

It even already seems to support stylus input which is very exciting seeing as there has been talk of porting RNote to Android.

I will never find the irony in this anything other than pathetic.

The one legitimate grievance against Bitcoin and other POW cryptocurrencies - the wasteful burning of energy to do throw-away calculations simply to prove the work has been done... the environmental cost of distributed scale meaningless CPU cycle waste purely for the purpose of wasting CPU cycles, has been so eagerly grasped by people who are largely doing it to foil another energy wasteful infotech invention.

It really is astonishing.

Do you have a better way? It is way more private than anything else I've seen.

From a energy usage perspective it also isn't bad. Spiking the CPU for a few seconds is minor especially compared to other tasks.

The mersenneforums have users solve an obscure (to a non-mathematician) but relatively simple number theory problem.
