the podcast formerly known as the vanwirdumsjorsnado!
nice! good topics too!
Thanks for the covering this important topic. Resisting mining centralisation is a tough challenge, but we need to work on this.
1. Uncle blocks so miners are paid for all their work
2. Transactions on the share chain - so we can swap the shares for BTC using atomic swaps, maybe even on LN.
3. Probably use TIDES like accounting for fair rewards accounting (thanks Sjors for pointing out this direction). Still investigating this.
The coolest thing is that if we have transactions on the sharechain, we open a lot of possibilities to build other payout mechanisms. We might have an ark-p2pool, ln-p2pool, e-cash-p2pool, pick-your-fav-p2pool. This is what really excites me atm.
