Not the creator, but PoW has plenty of positive qualities. The fact that the distribution schedule is much more accelerated than the others, and doesn't rely on fees should make concerns about "energy waste" less…
> having an "external driver" and the system being turing-complete are not mutually exclusive. In many cases, they are. For instance, if you tack on an already-Turing-complete component to the existing "system", then…
This ought to be incredibly easy to show. Just write a simple (finitely long) Script program that enters an infinite loop and never terminates. If you can't do that, Script cannot be Turing complete.
