Great idea. It's only a matter of time before Github projects start demanding that PRs have proof-of-work in the form of vanity hashes. I predict that the next-generation blockchains will be hosted on Github, and only then will software development be fully decentralized.Here's also an efficient and parallel vainhasher in C, which could probably be wrangled into a similar script to get more digits in less time. It can do 6 hexdigits in under a minute, and 8 hexdigits in a few hours: https://github.com/century-arcade/src/tree/master/tools/vain...

> I predict that the next-generation blockchains will be hosted on Github, and only then will software development be fully decentralized.How would hosting a blockchain on the servers of a centralized company whose sole purpose to exist is to be a centralized gateway for what was by all rights a decentralized lead to a world of software development that is fully decentralized?! That sounds like the exact opposite of what we need to do :/.

Sarcasm doesn't always work well in text form.

>"I predict that the next-generation blockchains will be hosted on Github, and only then will software development be fully decentralized."This made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

I think the idea is good, but in reality you can sign your commits. Plus if you have SHA access then it should represent you.

Blockchain on git as a service

Needs a GPU implementation. The important stuff deserves it :DPossibly bitcoin ASICs can be used to find really long vanity prefixes.
