RE: Get Ready for a World Currency
sorry the top link (mirror of k0in.com) is to more technical information, while the front page is just thoughts on how to implement. Thanks for reading.
The main idea here of relevance, is that miner nodes are not rewarded nor do any hashing. No one gets paid, so there is no endgame.
I fully admit these ideas are unimplemented and untested.
Hey I am not trying to be a jerk, but seriously we’ve looked years ago at all those sort of ideas you are having now, and we had realized they are flawed.
For example:
The Quantity Theory of Money has been dunked, i.e. price does respond to changes in money supply (and that is especially true when everyone receives proportionally more coins because otherwise there is a flaw in terms of selecting who the new supply is distributed to). I even mentioned why in this blog. In fact, it is more likely to have spiraling effect where your increase in coin supply causes volatility to increase as people are incentivized to speculate on hoarding more coins to amplify gains.
Identity can be rented, purchased, gamed, and otherwise controlled by those with the most resources. Nothing is cheaper than proof-of-work as alternatives are economically equivalent to proof-of-work.
This is analogous to a research paper on proof-of-stake.
I could debunk all your ideas, but I had already done so many times on BCT and I do not have time.
Sorry.
i'm surprised you've taken the time to reply. Thanks for your feedback.
