I'm only trying to understand I'm not trying to judge your work, but I need some clarification.
- Initiation Phase: It takes just few seconds for the miners to produce one or (barely) 2 or 3 Initiation Blocks typically. Note that the transaction fees are already transferred to miner's wallet through coinbase transaction committed to the Net Merkle Tree's root for each block.
As I can understand a net merkle is a merkle tree where the coinbase transaction have no block rewards(only comulated fee) so each miner will try to publish his net merkle tree with a coinbase tree pointing to his address.
why are you saying there will be only one or (barely) 2 o 3 initialization blocks? why a miner should use a net merkle tree with a coinbase pointing to an address owned by other miner? where is the incentive to start contribution phase loosing transaction fees? or I'm missing something.
- Contribution Phase: Miners start picking one valid Initiation Block's Merkle root, according to their speculations (which become more accurate as new shares are submitted to the network) about it to get enough shares eventually, and producing/relaying valid Contribution Shares for it.
As the sum of the difficulty scores for a given Initiation Block's Merkle root grows we expect an exponential convergence rate for the most popular Merkle root to be included in Contribution Shares.
They will share an inizialization block, adding their address, and their, partial, proof of work to earn score.
- Finalization Phase: After the total scores approaches the 0.93 limit, rational Miners would begin to produce a Finalized block

as soon as a miner get enought shares(with partial proof of work) it can begin trying to solve a more difficult proof of work to get only a partial block reward. But producing a final block is very hard as any contrib share can point to a different net merkle tree(because every miner will add a coinbase transaction using his address to earn fees), so he have to validate the same transactions more and more times to be sure final block wil be considered valid. So I hope it is better for a miner to simply autoproduce his net merkle tree and his contribution shares so he doesn't have to share block reward with others contributors and to get the full fee booty.
So I can not understand where is the point in using contribution shares from others miners?
