Here in India we have the Internet Freedom Foundation that does something similar but for digital freedom and privacy. They've been supportive to bitcoin and it would be cool if we can include them in this.

📝 Original message:Great conversation everyone. I'm happy we're still engaged with this discussion. To add food for thought I'm bringing back something that was introduced in this mailing list sometime ago, which is Proof of Less Work.
PoLW may or may not be it but we can certainly get more ideas from it to keep the discussion going.

📝 Original message:Hello list,
I am a lurker here and like many of you I worry about the energy usage of bitcoin mining. I understand a lot mining happens with renewable resources but the impact is still high.
I want to get your opinion on implementing proof of stake for bitcoin mining in future. For now, proof of stake is still untested and not battle tested like proof of work. Though someday it will be.
In the following years we'll be seeing proof of stake being implemented. Smaller networks can test PoS which is a luxury bitcoin can't afford. Here's how I see this the possibilities:
1 - Proof of stake isn't a good enough security mechanism
2 - Proof of state is a good security mechanism and works as intended
IF PoS turns out to be good after battle testing, would you consider implementing it for Bitcoin? I understand this would invoke a lot of controversies and a hard fork that no one likes. But its important enough to consider a hard fork. What are your opinions provided PoS does work?
Love from India.
