That'd be like the Onion becoming a serious news agency (sees all those articles that came true), ok, then I mean Snopes.com starting a news agency that doesn't investigate rumors, internet memes and the like, but instead . . . um, published other people's articles without doing any kind of fact checking.

*looks at random article on Snopes, see's it is a truth thingie*
Snopes has declared it true: in 1938 a woman was in fact jailed for wearing pants.

Did a Woman Go To Jail for Wearing Slacks in 1938?

Helen Hulick wore a controversial pair of slacks to court while testifying.

Quentin Tarantino and Miramax may have realized Pulp Fiction NFTs might literally not be worth fighting over

Hilariously, it appears possible that the two parties ended their conflict, not through some beautiful meeting of the minds, but a shared acknowledgement that the garbage they were squabbling over may now be more-or-less literally worthless.

At least "Faith based cryptocurrency" is an accurate description. They all are, really.

Proof of Faith seems to be counter to the whole "doubting Thomas" story arc.

And how do they automate faith-based mining anyway?

Yeah, prayer can only be run manually.

There are options. Buddhists have pray wheels, where the prayer is written on a rotating cylinder. Each rotation is a prayer. Fairly easy to automate.

It should also be fairly simple to program a rosary into a crypto. How many Hail Marys snd Our Fathers do you have to run to solve a bloc? It could work.
