-LostCoin is like Bitcoin, but based on Proof-of-Loss and written in CommonLisp
Proof-of-Loss is similar to
Proof-of-Burn, the main difference being Proof-of-Loss requires demonstrable, permanently 'lost' wallet access. The computational equivalent for Proof-of-Work is accomplished with
P2SH or other provably random, destructive, 'loss-receipt' redeem script generating process - sending coins and priv keys to a final resting place or unrecoverable / lost-address. Users can then 'spend' their lost coin 'credit' by exchanging proof-of-burn/loss redeem scripts - which requires destroying/rehashing again to generate recipient users' new proof-of-loss redeem script.
Note the distinction from 'burnt' coins or sending to unspendable addresses by which LostCoins technically[theoretically] could be found and recovered. The proof is spending outputs to addresses generated using 'provably unknowable' priv keys. Whereas burnt coins are the equivalent of shooting a missile @ a plane and watching it disintegrate, LostCoins are those which have just gone off the Radar.
