This is why I'm going to build a shitcoin, designed to avoid the flaws of bitcoin. CPU only pow, lockups for mining. Sybil mitigation for miner addresses. Ossification friendly slow block size limit, schnorr sigs and hashed out points. Smooth, fixed point supply decrease, 128 bit denomination. Same fixed supply. Possible also to bootstrap from one node. Full mempool filtering policy on the reference. No op return. No witnesses, schnorr makes that irrelevant. Bare minimal scripts and tight defaults without soft fork possibility. No easy hardfork possibility. Web of trust in the block and tx propagation.

I'm interested in new shitcoin designs. So far these three have caught my eyes

9th proof: https://github.com/adambor/The9thProofOfFolding

zkcoins: https://gist.github.com/RobinLinus/d036511015caea5a28514259a1bab119

If humanity moves to another planet it'll be a new chain anyway, even if using the Bitcoin implementation, so it's better to have some new designs ready :D

https://git.mleku.dev/mleku/jericho this is my first draft. Needs more work yet. I'm planning to build it with Nostr as part of its standard protocol as the default inter-node connection protocol so home noderunners can seamlessly be inbound reachable, and for VPS hosted, a relay will be standard part of the reference implementation.

Most likely it will be simplified a bit, Claude is prone to wacky side tracks that often need to be pruned.
