interesting, but if people put their computational resources for hire, then those won't be available for securing the network (ie calculating POW), and vice versa. So there may be a conflict that jeopardizes the security of the network....
what? did you say delegated pos? get out...c'mon... really?
will be happy to discuss the coin infrastructure.
so, why not dpos?
in addition, this contradiction is 'virtual' in case where tx fees are most (or all) of the incentive
dpos has the drawbacks of pos while adding centralization.
If you had PoW, I see many cool forms of arbitrage happening: being a provider and "outsourcing" to cheaper providers, using coins to pay a provider to mine coins for you, etc.
The coin is degined for micropayments. I'm not sure (yet don't know) if it'll be economic or convenient or safe for other uses.
what does this mean? I can't think of any design decision that would be influenced by that, because... aren't micropayments handled off-chain?
You may want a fast block generation rate, but, what else?
