I don't think that pseudocode would work, I'd be more inclined to use something moral and secure like Rust.

I feel like a trojan that hijacks all existing blockchains and kill them would do more good to climate change than any other idea we could possibly come up with. We are burning an awful amount of electricity on something that's not being used for any practical purpose but only by speculators and "investors".

A permanent, distributed ledger of morals would at least be a nice gift to future historians. Now if only we could establish a correctness proof as well...
