The Crypto Turing Test
<p>Alan Turing famously proposed an imitation game. This was a thought experiment as to when artificial intelligence may achieve milestones with respect to humans and our ability to accept the intelligence of robots. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Turing Test</a>, as it came to be known, posited a person sitting at a computer screen interacting using typed messages with something else. An AI would pass the Turing Test if it could convince the person that it was a person rather than a robot. Much has been written about whether the test is reasonable or would tell us anything. But the spirit of the test was the notion that people could interact with computers without realising it. In other words, those interactions could be seen as natural.</p>
<p>Cryptocurrencies have now been around for almost 13 years. They certainly have achieved substantial interest as well as proof that they were possible at all. But when we will know if they have “made it”?</p>
<p>Here I am going to propose a Crypto Turing Test to provide that benchmark. One thing this definition has got going for it is that no one (really, no one according to Google) has proposed a Crypto Turing Test before. That’s pretty surprising (to me at least) as Turing completeness is a big part of the crypto project.</p>
