I admit I haven't read the whole thread (which I will likely do).
Searching within all posts didn't show an occurance of Proof-of-Burn.
This was invented by Slimcoin (burning coins to generate virtual miners that process transactions and write the blockchain).
I'd like to know what's your view of Slimcoin or rather Proof-of-Burn (because Slimcoin is more dead than alive, but Proof-of-Burn as consensus mechanism not necesarily).
If you don't find information about it, I might dig in my bookmarks for bitcointalk threads, source code and more when I'm at my computer.
