I still think that PoCW will need to be deployed successfully in an altcoin and tested in the wild for a good while before the bitcoin community will seriously consider it.

There are a few folks that take the pool problem seriously and that value real mining decentralization, but I think not enough to make a difference at this time.    I'm happy to be wrong on this point of course, but if others thought like I do then only a few innovative coins would have any value right now, and PoS and tokens wouldn't be a thing...

If you get a library of working code and decide to launch an altcoin with it, let me know.  I might be able to help out.
