2. There is no incentive at this time to concede defeat, we can strive for defeating SHAblock 10min, it may appear a slim potential but it is very possible. Don't bend a knee to btc, UNO is better suited to be the 'Challenger' to BTC. We stand to gain fame and honor.
if we implement auxpow with btc we wouldn't have to sacrifice the 3-minute-blocks or would we?
Chains would still be seperate and in case bitcoin looses steam we can still go with option "a" and invite other coins to auxpow with uno, right?
Before we can really challenge bitcoin we'd need a sustained value of 20$ to 100$ a coin at least me thinks.
Would be merging with btc seen as admitting defeat? I don't think so. It would only show uno cares about being secure.
So if we can't reach a much higher price for a coin soon we should actually really consider the merging with btc. It could be looked at as temporary too as uno could adapt to a changing environment in case bitcoin fails, right?
----------
what about the idea of implementing auxpow with btc and inviting other smaller coins to auxpow with uno? Is it possible? Because if it would be i could imagine some miners with weaker hardware would mine directly on uno and mine the smaller coins too which would be merged with uno, while the stronger miners mine bitcoin and uno, nmc, ixc ...
Is it an option this way?
so it's two ideas:
-implement auxpow in uno for btc, zet and many others at the same time
-implement auxpow with btc only and keep looking for smaller coins which on their side would implement auxpow with uno to accomodate the smaller miners
is this in the realm of possible?
Also: is there ways to merge with scypt coins or needs to be sha under any circumstances?
