Able to scan its whole sky in...3 nights?!

Wont it take twice the lifetime of the universe to crunch all the data?

Just use Bitcoin mining machines all over the world, feed them with star database and give some reward to miners if they find something in the sky interesting.

Am I genius or what?

Not unless your scheme offers maximum reward for least effort.
Everybody wants to be a lottery winner. Absolutely NO effort involved.
Who pays the winner's prize? Several billion losers.
Can you con a billion losers into regularly throwing away their "investment?"
It depends on human gullibility and selling the dream of winning.
A license to print your own currency is very small beer indeed compared with any lottery.
The mere existence of casinos and bookies is absolute testament to the gullibility of mankind.
Just look at our [supposed] leaders! Elections are the biggest con and the biggest lottery on the planet.
NO effort involved. Billions of losers and one instantly corrupted, small-minded whiner.
