Are you Australian? If so, we are nearby, I am in the Philippines.

I am working on implementing a solution that I claim will nullify most of the dictatorial power of election (stake) and also doesn't require proof-of-work waste/dictatorship:

It also in theory (afaics) has orders-of-magnitude better performance and scaling than DPoS.

I have already the design written in a rough draft of a white paper and am finishing up the final draft in Markdown syntax. The white paper needs more peer review. I will have two people I trust reading it this week. Let's see if they find any flaw.

If I can get closer to a testnet implementation, we can talk about collaboration. I'd rather not interfere with you until I am sure I have something that is realistically going to make it to release.

(Unfortunately I am chronically very ill with liver+digestive health debacle, so I don't know for sure if I can do what I am trying to do. I will be at a research hospital in 2nd week of January to finally get a diagnosis for my condition and I am hoping some treatment or cure for it. Fingers crossed. Until then my productivity and cognitive concentration/energy/clarity is roughly 1/4 of normal and the 3/4 is discombobulated "zombifried" delirium.)
