it will cost everyone's trust. the more nodes, the more difficult it is to attack this network of trust. maybe we can remove the ban feature

xrp is very centralized. we need a web of trust cryptocurrency governed by a community.
With the mechanism I created we were able to prevent the sybil attack because to create a node you need 51% of the votes of the already elected nodes.
More nodes the more decentralized the network is and the more difficult it is to attack.
Then we create a discord for example and accept people who prove they are not bots.

I'm saying that a cryptocurrency doesn't need to be permissionless to be decentralized. we can build a web of trust concept.

Bitcoin's decentralized and permissionless nature is its biggest advantage but also its biggest weakness: it's too easy to create fake nodes.
But I believe that a permissioned and decentralized network is also possible. For a node to enter the network, a 51% approval of validators already approved in the network is required.
Then we created a community on some social network or on this forum and created a kind of web of trust  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust.
Thus it will be possible to establish a decentralized network without energy waste. Humans are very good at identifying bots.
At the same time that it will be possible to enter the network with 51% approval, it will also be possible to ban nodes.
If anyone is interested in creating this mechanism please let us know.

We can use cuckoo cycle but instead of increasing the difficulty like in hashcash we increase the amount of memory required. Being asics resistant by design.

cpu can have multiple cores. ram memory can have variable speeds but it is very little difference. high end ram memory does not have as much advantage compared to a high end cpu.

if a proof of ram coin enters the market it is only a matter of time for decentralization. we could say the same with bitcoin in 2009 because amazon had big servers.

ram memory is much more accessible and "equal" than cpu and then asics.

As I understood more RAM does not increase the chance of winning in cuckoo cycle is it possible to adapt this algorithm to do this? to make a proof of RAM algorithm?Maybe run several times in parallel?

only if you turn off your computer idiot

i am thinking of just storing hashes in memory and the winner is the hash that is closest to the hash of the previous block.
an attacker can just recalculate the hashes like in conventional pow but in the long run storing the hashes will give an advantage.
if the miner doesn't have a valid hash he can start calculating other hashes with the CPU.
it is like a proof of work and memory.

you don't understand. i am not saying to store the blockchain in RAM. i am saying to replace the proof of work with a proof of space that is in RAM

is it possible to make a proof of space that is stored entirely in RAM?
 in my opinion proof of space has failed because storing in hard drives is not practical and ends the useful life of the hard drive.
If there is a way to have the voting power based on ram memory, in my opinion,
it would be fairer than proof of work.
I am thinking of storing proofs of work in RAM in such a way that they do not expire with a new block being created.
For example, hash of random bytes needs to do a partial hash collision of the previous block.
Then we fill the ram with proofs of work
If no miner has the hash needed to make the collision we gradually decrease the difficulty until one miner wins the lottery to prevent the miner from generating new pows.
RAM is much more energy efficient than cpu and does not damage as easily as hard disks.

the amount of coins would not be infinite.
it is the same in proof of work more computing power does not mean printing more coins

If a node loses access, it will not be possible to communicate with the rest of the network.
Do you really think that icann will ban all domain names to "control" the network?
 It is the same logic as proof of work. it is assumed that the majority is honest.
If proof of stake is possible using an asset from the network itself, why wouldn't it be possible to use an asset from outside the network?

just limit the tld to .com and a few others

nothing. nobody has implemented this idea before because maybe it is not "decentralized" enough.
That is the idea, more domains more voting power.
Proof-of-domain system.
If any programmer is interested in building an energy efficient cryptocurrency, in line with the idea of the internet, and more decentralized than the proof-of-stake mechanisms please give us feedback

The idea is simple. 
Each node must have a valid domain name.
A node is randomly selected to mine a block.
Using an internet asset to create a decentralized and energy efficient cryptocurrency.

How about using domain names as proof of stake? I think it is perfectly possible.
maybe not as decentralized as proof of work but certainly more decentralized than proof of stake because the coins are not created all at once.
we use an internet asset to create an internet coin.

I think it's possible with ipv4 addresses.
a cryptocurrency cannot be more decentralized than the internet itself.

the bitcoin white paper says: "if the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone
able to allocate many IPs".
Is it possible to create a cryptocurrency in which IP addresses are "staked"?.
If a node acts maliciously its ip address is blacklisted.
So anyone with internet access can act as a validator.
