Oh? If this was not meant to be a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, perhaps you should clarify somewhere what altcoin you are proposing it for. As it stands, it certainly did read much like it was meant to be a BIP, and apparently many others thought so as well. Admittedly, the bitcoin-dev ML isn't the place for altcoin discussions, and I'm not particularly interested in spending my time aiding altcoins, so I'll just end the conversation here until someone re-proposes something similar for Bitcoin. Sorry for confusing the nature of your work, Luke
