Hi Aviv,
Has your paper already been peer-reviewed?
We are peer-reviewing it now ;-). No better review mechanisms than a btctalk thread.
Firstly: it's awesome to see such research.
Now, is litecoin too conservative to try to incorporate this?
I think yes, so let's make TreeCoin?
One of the reasons none of the altcoins have ever appealed to me is their lame ass names. No offense, but I can't see the whole world using something called Treecoins.
Would it be possible to implement this directly from the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a split? Where the current holders of bitcoins now are also the holders of Bitcoin 2.0? And then people will be vested in both with a market between the two, eventually finding out which one "wins."
