This was originally posted in tech subforum, I replied (and merited op by the way) but they moved the topic to altcoin discussion sub(!) now I understand op has started another thread here which is more active.
It is getting really crazy, mods go high on their extremism ever and ever and newbies are among the most vulnerable, somebody should do something about this madness, "Hello somebody!" As Nina Turner used to say in the good pre-corona days of dem 2020 debates Cheesy

Anyway, it's my post over there:

OP,

Thank you for sharing. I just finished reading your article. Although I strongly support and appreciate your intentions, I afraid your work is not matured enough to be discussed in detail. You need to keep working on it harder both in terms of design and representation, IMO. Some points for now:

1- Combining two very different approaches to cryptocurrency and blockchain is a bold choice but it won't work without extensive research on the very basic ideas behind the approaches.

2- You are absolutely silent about the networking layer: How pow miners and stake nodes should communicate for the miner to have the signed UNI from the specific node? What do we have to do with availability issues? IOW, what happens if the ode with the respective UNI is down?

3- What happens if the designated node is malfunctioning intentionally or not and declines to sign the appropriate message?

The topic really carries over to the discussion of altcoins. Apparently, for Bitcoin, any change in the algorithm is unacceptable. Or 2 threads with the same name are not allowed. I'm not sure.

Thanks for taking the time to read. Of course, for implementation it is necessary to develop in more detail, while this is only an idea.
The interaction of miners and signing nodes occurs on mutually beneficial conditions. The miner is interested in obtaining a signature with a minimum numerical value to reduce the complexity of mining. The signing node is interested in having its signature included in the block and receiving a reward. If for some reason the miner cannot get UNI signatures, then the algorithm turns into a standard POW, since it is impossible to reduce the complexity.
If some node intentionally does not sign the message, then the miner includes in the block any other UNI with a minimum value.

A.N.D.
