Best regards, Andrew

That said to those who disagree with the premise, I do prefer con=
structive feedback over insults or making fun of one another. After all thi=

ecific thing, not a guy who is just wanting to copy and paste a repository =

Hi, I also want to emphasize that my main point isn't just =
to create a BTC hardfork or become another Bitcoin Cash, Gold, or SV. The m=
ain point in regards to this BIP actually expands POW rather than replaces =
or creates an alternative. Many of the problems faced in regards to securit=
y in the future as well as sustainability is something I believe lots of th=
e changes I am proposing can fix. In regards to technological implementatio=
n, once this is assigned draft status I am more than willing to create prep=
rints explaining the cryptography, hashing algorithm improvements, and cons=
ensus that I am working on. This is a highly technologically complex idea t=
hat I am willing to "call my bluff on" and expand upon. As for it=
being a draft, I think this is a good starting point at least for draft st=
atus prior to working on technological implementation.=20
