Microsoft applies for a patent to use human activity data for cryptocurrency mining.

According to CryptoPotato news, Microsoft is applying for the patent "Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data" for mining cryptocurrency systems using human activity data. The patent explains that the energy produced by the human body is lost with every natural function of the body. Microsoft's idea is to use this energy. Instead of a large amount of computing work required by some traditional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the user's physical activity can be proof of work so that users can solve computing problems unknowingly. The mining process involves users connecting multiple sensors to different body parts to generate rewards when they consciously or unconsciously perform certain activities. The patent shows, for example, that sensors can determine when someone performs a specific task, such as watching an advertisement or using Internet services. When the appropriate incentives are registered, the mining process can be activated, rewarding individuals with tokens. "Body fluid flow" and "organ activity and movement" maybe some examples of body functions that can trigger sensors and initiate the cryptocurrency mining process.
