someone else brought this idea up a couple weeks ago but its been stuck in my brain ever since:

  1. seize all gold stores from the wealthy/governments of the world
  2. bring the best and brightest computer system engineers and scientists together and develop a new standard of solar-powered computing that emphasizes durability, accessibility, and low power consumption above everything else.
  3. melt down all the gold from 1 and use that stockpile to construct public computer services and interfacing devices that are handed out or otherwise available for everyone to use cheaply
  4. slowly spin-up new solar-powered datacenters, decommission/cannibalize existing datacenters and sell off those resources to recoup the costs of the project.

thats the view from 10 billion feet up. i think it would be pretty neat.
