One problem is how to define target difficulty. Molecule size? If the ground state is reached, there won’t be any more besides some possible degenerate solutions. In contrast, a nonce of some length is evident. Perhaps miners could opt for relatively small molecules knowing that they might never find a better solution. In this way there would be strategy.
Another problem is that there are similar projects like Folding At Home that do not have revenue incentives and people volunteer resources anyway.

But just because his name's there, I'm thinking it's a joke ... a good joke, too. All good jokes mix a little bit of truth with a little bit of bullshit. IDK, I hear the ghost of Popper reminding me that we shouldn't police the source of ideas, only evaluate the ideas against reality regardless of their source. [sigh]
