One comment I read on reddit, that was infuriating "1995 called, they want the layout back".

When people look at the cover but not at the content.

edit:
out of the many variant of digital currencies that are being created, an interesting one that may compete with GIMPS is Primecoin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primecoin

About digital currencies using proof of work, I don't like the fact that they use more and more energy in a planet were climate change and energy supply is already a problem. But can also be that their hunger for energy may create useful byproduct solutions. It happened already that as reaction of bad (or apparently bad) decisions good results were created.
