My idea is fundamentally incompatible with the current bitcoin reward system. It has to exist as either a hard fork or an altchain.

I was thinking an alt chain would be a good place to implement proof of stake, but a hard fork would be interesting since I already have stake in the current block chain.

Maybe you should start a bounty, as that seems to be an effective way to get your ideas coded (several mining projects have been completed in this fashion). Like minded individuals would be able to contribute as well. It would certainly be a giant step towards "do" instead of only "talk".

You mean, like, maybe if he himself had a stake in it people might take the idea more seriously? By his theories that might make sense, afterall if he has no stake maybe he is just gaming us?
