You might consider the dimension taken by the cooperative mining approach of=
 AI Coin, an altcoin that will launch April 27. The coin is an embodiment of=
 principles described in my whitepaper last May, "Bitcoin Cooperative Proof o=
f Stake".=20
http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.5741

Currently we do not use staking, as network-wide algorithmic trustworthiness=
 provides the security directly. Network operations, although highly automat=
ed with intelligent software agents, has a human-in-the-loop for oversight.

Our innovation enables immediate settlement of transactions. Peers in our ne=
twork cooperate, taking turns creating new blocks. There is single version o=
f the blockchain which is appended to by a single peer, and is replicated by=
 the other peers. Our peers wrap Bitcoind instances, controlling transaction=
 and new block routing to form a scalable super peer topology. Peers have se=
lf-signed X.509 certificates which encrypt messages and prevent impersonatio=
n. The tamper-evident technology that secures Bitcoin's blockchain and trans=
actions is extended to secure the entire network. Inspired by an idea publis=
hed by Nick Szabo, our peers maintain tamper-evident logs which are replayed=
, verified and signed by other peers. Aside from the whitepaper, more curren=
t technical information can be found on our forum - where I would be glad to=
 answer questions and debate skeptics - instead of responding in this list o=
ff topic.=20

I would like thank those here and on IRC who last year encouraged me think o=
utside the box.
