Hi Matt,

> To make testing easier, it may make sense to keep the existing block head=
er format (and PoW) and instead apply the signature rules to some field in =
the coinbase transaction. This means SPV clients (assuming they only connec=
t to honest/trusted nodes) work as-is.

Keeping the PoW rule and moving the signature would mean DoS attacks
would be trivial as anyone could mine blocks without a signature in
them, unless you ramped up the difficulty, which would mean it's just
another testnet. It's a test network, admittedly, but I think it would
kind of defeat the purpose.

Not sure how this would work in practice. The idea with signet is to
have an actual network that is occasionally reorged, i.e. it's a
global network (for those participating) that everyone agrees on. Not
sure how you would have choices there.
