Iota has unprofitable mining so one could say I took that idea from Iota (although I had the idea for a while now, but I won't deny that Iota focused me to concentrate on it again when I started this thread). Also from Iota (and a bit from Dash Evolution but I was already working on this design I just was able to merge some ideas together to jump some hurdles) my design inherents some aspects of a DAG but the partitions are intra-block and are forced to converge at each block announcement.
P.S. readers wondering what happened, I took CfB off Ignore due to a civil discussion we had in another thread.
How many hours a day do you spend reading and posting on this forum? I like reading your posts but I wonder if spending that much time here is in your self interest.
If you could spend more of your time coding and launch it I think you would find a lot of support. Sometime in 2016 I would love to see a production ready solution of yours that addresses the incentive, security and decentralization topics you discuss.
