This is not communism (at least not by its current meaning).
You didn't care to read anything that I wrote, nor have you made a minimum effort to understand any of my words.

You misunderstood everything I wrote. You just don't care, you didn't even try.
Everything that is not proof-of-work is communism to me. Democracy was hacked long ago and 1 vote = 1 vote is not my cup of tea. The opinion of 10,000 uninformed has no value to me, nor in nature. Separating the money from the state is #1 priority. I have no interest in living in a community where I can't handle my own money and barter was never a thing at scale. I've read what you wrote, I just can't agree with it. It's ok if you think I can't comprehend. I've held ethereum at one point so I can assure you I've been called worse.
You do realize that proof of work comes from Bitcoin, right?
And it's not given "in exchange" for anything.
One may mine for years and never get a reward.
This attitude of the first miners (including Satoshi) is closer to what I propose - v4v, give without expecting anything in exchange (which would entail trade).
The only reason why people get rewards frequently nowadays is because mining pools (communism).
Quite paradoxical that you brought that up, don't you think?
POW comes from Hashcash of Adam Back.
Miners pool together to reduce variance. Each are compensated proportionally to their hash power. I've studied variance in the field of sports betting and trading for over 20y. I understand why a solo miner would want to reduce the waiting time to pay the electricity bills. Bitcoin is different things to different people. It's the least communistic thing I can think of. Money is not the root of evil. The Bible verse is poorly understood. Used correctly, money does also good (it's a tool!). Unfortunately for more than 5,000y humanity got accustomed to unfortunate types of money. Since 2009 there is hope thanks to Satoshi and the gang. I don't care if he turns out to be Hitler or similar. Math is math.
Cooperatives work this way too, it's a form of collectivism - they reduce variance.
Consumers' cooperatives, for example, can be a good way of avoiding excessive taxation and speculation from middle men.
Mining pools, cooperatives, are positive forms of collectivism and centralization.
Still not what I'm looking for, I want total autonomy of the individual, so that "giving for free" does not comes with suffering for the one giving for free. I think that we can achieve this with technology in the near future.
You've hit the 🎯 with the second paragraph. I have nothing more to add for the moment.
