dapp / digital currency for password cracking
#1
The hash rates of major crytocoin networks seem staggering (e.g. estimated 120,000,000 TH/s in bitcoin network https://www.blockchain.com/en/charts/hash-rate), even when compared to state of the art cracking systems (e.g. https://terahash.com).

What would it take to create a distributed appĀ (e.g. https://www.dapp.com/) which can leverage various blockchain networks (e.g. based on how closely miner optimized hash matches target hash)? It seems like this could be useful for bruting junk passwords.

From an software architecture standpoint, what would be the biggest challenges or top reasons this is a stupid idea?

Perhaps a new coin (catcoin?) could be created to pay for proof of cracking work.

I am grateful for any insights more informed folks can share.

- Cheers
