A question for the more technically inclined Bitcoiners

[tokeweed]

I was just wondering what you guys think of Burstcoin's POC (proof of capacity) in mining new coins.



Could this be a viable option for developers of new projects going forward?  (I know there's an argument for POS, and I do like a couple of POS projects, but hoarding coins to get more just doesn't seem right if you want an expanding, flourshing economy.  Not taking away from POS, just apersonal opinion.)

Anyway, I just want what some of you guys, dev or miner, think of POC?  Thanks.

Sounds like a flavour of PoW to me, attempting to leverage it as innovation will only get them kicked back into the swamp that they rightfully inhabit.

yup. its a different flavor of POW.  and i don't think they are attempting to market it as something new.  but rather an option that is cheaper and more viable for new miners.

are you a dev or miner?  can you comment on the technical side?  i would really love to hear devs' and miners' opinion on POC.  i mean POC could help in developing an asic proof project...

Any fork to bitcoin that involves mining be done in any way other then 100% PoW means that the new coin is no longer "Bitcoin" but some other altcoin
