Is 256 going to be enough to distribute centralised mining to more miners? Maybe need 1024 (or 4096 or even more)?
Anyway the intention of adding 256 times PoW seems reasonable but it will introduces an undesirable impact on nodes as well (not miners) because when new blocks are synchronised each node also has to run that loop to verify the hash, which will logically slows down blockchain sync with a bit of pain when new node joins.
It may be more efficient if this is improved so only intend to change mining algo.
* It could be possible to put the loop index in the block header, nNonce which is now simply dead part as always set to 0xFEEDBEEF. * This may be a right time to make this change along with the hard fork at #21111 rather than later time in case needed.
