Other proofs than Proof of Work are worse than PoW.
People can innovate more proofs in future and try to advertise their new proofs are better than Proof of Work but they will fail like how many times altcoin developers have failed so far.
About Proof of Work, many altcoins use this algorithm too but there is an unique Bitcoin with its Proof of Work. Other PoW altcoins are not good enough, secure enough to compare with Bitcoin. Their networks are less healthy than Bitcoin network and are very centralized too.
https://howmanyconfs.com/https://github.com/lukechilds/howmanyconfs.com/blob/master/README.mdI understand your concerns with all the fake promises in the crypto space lately. PoW has its own issues as well being the reason I want to try utilizing a different approach. Assuming all proofs to be worse than PoW will do nothing but hinder potential innovation. I understand it is hard to trust people in crypto I just ask you keep an open mind to the possibility there could be a better solution. I will try my best to earn that trust as I truly believe this approach has the potential to provide superior long term scaling and security.
