    That’s what I meant.

    Although, cosmic radiation is problematic, because:

    1. How would you quantify it, to later automatically verify at what time a coin entered circulation
    2. Possibly other issues, such as the slight difference in the levels of cosmic radiation around the globe.

    But in general good idea

      i think for verification each full node should be taking measurements as well. But would this approach even allow for consensus? All the miners would observe the same event at the roughly same time so how would you even reach consensus for who gets the reward? Maybe this wouldn’t work after all :(
