Hello all.=0A=0AI understand that Proof-of-Stake as a replacement for Proof=
-of-Work is a prohibited yet disputed change to Bitcoin Core. I would like =
to create a Bitcoin branch that provides a sandboxed testbed for researchin=
g the best PoS implementations. In the years to come, perhaps circumstances=
might arise, such as shifting of user opinion as to whether PoS should be =
moved from the prohibited list to the hard-fork list.=0A-----=0A=0AA poll I=
conducted today on bitcointalk,=A0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=
=3D581635.0=A0with an attention-grabbing title suggests some minority suppo=
rt for Bitcoin Proof-of-Stake. I invite any of you to critically comment on=
that thread.=0A=0A"Annual 10% bitcoin dividends can be ours if Proof-of-S=
take full nodes outnumber existing Proof-of-Work full nodes by three-to-one=
. What is your choice?"=0A=0A"I do not care or do not know enough." - 5 (16=
.1%)=A0=0A"I would download and run the existing Proof-of-Work program to f=
ight the change." - 14 (45.2%)=A0=0A"I would download and run the new Proof=
-of-Stake program to favor the change. " - 12 (38.7%)=A0=0ATotal Voters: 31=
=0A-----=0A=0ABefore I branch the source code and learn the proper way of =
doing things in this community, I ask you simply if creating the branch is =
harmful? My goal is to develop, test and document PoS, while exploring its =
vulnerabilities and fixing them in a transparent fashion.=0A=0AThanks for t=
aking a bit of your time to read this message.=0A=0A-Steve=0A=0AStephen L. =
