"The proof-of-work for the social app TikTok is slightly different. TikTok users have 15 seconds to lip-sync or dance to songs in order to mine their currency of likes and views. If a user copies a song or dance that everyone else has already seen, their reward will likely be minimal, but if they do something original then their proof-of-work increases, and their reward likely will too."

"I would bet that the vast majority of people would prefer the one that took 50 hours if the PoW process was explained."

"Proof-of-work matters. The story and narrative around creation is very important to people. Work without a narrative is just work, but work with a story becomes a compelling journey."

"If your proof-of-work is good (valid) then the other system participants will come to a consensus that your work is good, thus achieving status."

"Social media has created the most effective form for people to quickly achieve status"

"Proof-of-Work Within NFT Games"

"Gods Unchained: Create a strong deck and beat opponents."

"Decentraland: Build unique structures that attract people."

"My Crypto Heroes: Build a strong team to fight opponents."

"CryptoKitties: Breed cats to create rare collectible species."

"Axie Infinity: Breed a strong team and win battles."

"Cryptovoxels: Build unique structures that attract people."

"Crypto Space Commanders: Build a powerful ship to mine more resources and control the galaxy."

"The most obvious difference between proof-of-work for NFT games and regular video games is that NFT game users have skin in the game."

"It’s interesting to explore PoW models in open virtual worlds that have no direct objective, such as Decentraland, Cryptovoxels, Somnium Space, and The Sandbox. Their culture largely encourages proof-of-work to be user-generated content."

"What is interesting about open worlds is that the proof-of-work process will likely evolve."

"As the platforms become more advanced, the PoW will likely become more technical and gravitate towards revenue generation."

"Explaining the process creates a narrative around the artwork, and I would argue that this deeper understanding makes us like the work more."

"Proof-of-work does not have to just focus on the creative process: it can also be about the meaning behind a piece."

"ut the most interesting part is that DGX tokens are pegged to physical gold bullion."

"Conlan, the founder and developer at Async Art, created a tool called Scribe that allows people to write messages on their tokens."

"Another interesting potential proof-of-work model for artists is to implement a proof-of-burn structure to sell NFTs."

"The artist could create a system that says, “In order to purchase my newest NFT, you must send me one of my previous works, which I will then burn.” The artist could even say that you need to burn multiple pieces in order to have the option to purchase a new one."

"This would reduce the outstanding number of tokens from that artist, thus increasing the rarity of the existing works."
