Facts:
1. A meltdown does not necessarily mean significant release of radiation.
2. Significant release of radiation doesn't necessarily mean "ZOMG CANCER MUTANTS".
3. Worrying will do nothing. Indeed, the real disaster here is the gigantic, house-lifting, island-eliminating tsunami, not the pitiful nuclear meltdown. If you want to help, donate to the Red Cross.
4. If people do worry, the ONLY result is more people dead due to panic.

Submission + - Can it be a force for good? (bitcoin.org)

An anonymous reader writes: Currently Bitcoin is generated by solving otherwise worthless number puzzles. I appreciate the value of the currency as it is but it seems to me that having all that computing power crunching away to solve otherwise pointless puzzles is a waste of potential energy. So I want to ask the slashdot community, can we find a way to harness the calculative power of the bitcoin community for a common good?
