Abstract
In this paper, we will describe a concept of a cryptocurrency issuance protocol which supports digital currencies in a Proof-of-Work (< PoW >) like manner. However, the methods assume alternative utilization of assets used for cryptocurrency creation (rather than purchasing electricity necessary for < mining >).
