Currently 30,013 words with 205 cited references. I am not completely satisfied with the document yet. It is a very long document that has undergone a lot of edits and needs more polishing. The paper attempts to explain a very complex topic and so the paper at this point is a spaghetti because topics are cross-referenced all over the paper to each other. But the necessary concepts are already all there as of December.

It's always good to re-read the Satoshi paper, as it is not only laying out revolutionary stuff, it is a benchmark for succinctness. So much about early bitcoin was not in that paper.

Writing a white paper can turn into a kitchen sink of a wishlist document.

Hopefully you're getting feedback from people on the paper, and you are doing some coding to test the implementation ability of some of your ideas.

I've been looking at the coins coming out and doing ICOs and reading their papers and it's really obvious how many will take forever to ever work (hell, I argue ethereum still does't work like it was supposed to. They still haven't solved fundamental problems.)

Finally, I think there are two good paths here-- if you want to play devils advocate and argue for better choices, go for it. But if you want to be secret and write your paper in secret before sharing it with people, then probably best to not talk about your idea here-- don't let ego take you away.

If you are building what you say, then your time is better spent building it than talking to naysayers here. IF you aren't building it, that's fine, share your ideas.

I'd be happy to review your white paper if you like, I can send you my bonafides by pm.
