OP, It seems like the bottom line is you would need massive changes to bitcoin (with hard fork) to do what you want to do....

It's time for a hard fork anyway:

the scalability problem is quite manageable so that's why it doesn't make sense.

There are opinions, and there is data. The latter impresses me more and is linked in the first post.

Then fork it and implement the changes - unless that is what you've been working on since March and are ready to release some alpha or beta code, which would be cool.

Code will give some very good data as to how it works, potential issues etc.  Discussing it here will do little, but since it is open source, implementing will do a lot.
