yes. serious.
1. pow/pos hybrids good idea, bad IQ. if we can get a carbon copy of t3k/peer (go sha) or nova. those are the only ones that I know that actually work ... buggy such buggy.
2.
Infinitecoin (IFC)
Network Hashrate: 1 MH/s
market capital $3M
barely 40MHs is still x40 stronger than IFC
when NAUT, ltcd, and rzr are getting constantly destroyed by forks then I'll reconsider
until then lots of high value targets compared to humble lil'GLC
3. there seem to be checkpoint/roll back solutions that will allow a low hash coin to survive (see IFC)
4. pure stakes .... sure when GLC has a massive following and no other solution is possible. stakes market is saturated and lacks the security to invest/hold $millions. Let NXT, Black, and POT deal with the bugs for 2-3 years before it is a solid science.
5. antiASIC algo POW ... global is POW ... if you want to fork a working POW to stakes send me a PM I've got dozens in need of that service. but Global is POW
6. even if do nothing .... basic crypto ... raise the price raise the hash (repeat) /&&/ counter rent a rig if malicious players show up
7. AuxPOW ... yes but we can survive a few more halvings until then ... and others will have worked out the way to AuxPOW (EZ) ... blake? vtc?
