I have read this new proof of person on
https://idena.io/, to put it simply we need to do a puzzle or captcha if we want to work as a node.
every single node is equivalent to one person, but this is tedious work for human to keep solving the puzzle. I do not think this new consensus will work out, this is not effective and efficient.
The validations will be less often as the network grows. Will validating once in 3 month be too much work?
Well, you did not mention it on the website that was why I said solving the puzzle or captcha is tedious work.
You should have at least said about validating once every 3 months on the website, and I still do not understand the function of the laptop in the minting process.
All validated participants are encouraged to do useful work for the network (hosting their nodes, creating and solving flips, inviting new users, and so on).
did not explain the process of minting using the hardware.
