Okay that is reasonable. Are you familiar with the IOTA project and how they have created a blockless distributed ledger? It seems like if we do have to have blocks, and they have to be specific to doing Tau work, then the system design could be better. I have no practical experience in this, so my thoughts could easily be worthless on the subject.
distributed ledger is easy, the big question is how much it costs to break it. and as far as i know, nothing known to compete with traditional proof of work
Please i think this needs to be reviewed either to study firstly - Tendermint
Video here-

old POW is NOT the way to go.
Or indeed to get the security of BTC network by having both a POS then BTC POW to really go secure check out KOMODO

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.700Please do not use a standard POW as it will be slow and not scale.
becasue the TAU functional language is still in review do not commit to an old slow blockchain protocol.
At least review Tendermint or even newer POS systems.
