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."
This is how I would go about it when making an altcoin, too. But for most altcoiners the appeal is that they can be early adopters with their new coin. You don't have that with the bitcoin 2.0 approach.
