For sake of simplicity, I do want to do&#xA;this BIP because it tackles lots of the issues in regards to this manner&#xA;and can provide useful insight to the community. If things such as bigger&#xA;block height have been proposed as hard forks, I feel at the very least an&#xA;upgrade regarding the hashing algorithm and cryptography does at least&#xA;warrant some discussion. Anyways I hope I can send you my BIP, just let me&#xA;know on the preferred format?&#xA;&#xA;Best regards, Andrew&#xA;&#xA;On Fri, Mar 5, 2021, 10:12 AM Lonero Foundation &lt;loneroassociation at gmail.com&gt;&#xA;wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Hi, this isn&#39;t about the energy efficient argument in regards to&#xA;&gt; renewables or mining devices but a better cryptography layer to get the&#xA;&gt; most out of your hashing for validation. I do understand the arbitrariness&#xA;&gt; of it, but do want to still propose a document. Do I use the Media Wiki&#xA;&gt; format on GitHub and just attach it as my proposal?&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Best regards, Andrew&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; On Fri, Mar 5, 2021, 10:07 AM Devrandom &lt;c1.devrandom at niftybox.net&gt; wrote:&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Hi Ryan and Andrew,&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; On Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 5:42 AM Ryan Grant via bitcoin-dev &lt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt; wrote:&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;   https://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;     &#34;Nothing is Cheaper than Proof of Work&#34;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;     on | 04 Aug 2015&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Just to belabor this a bit, the paper demonstrates that the mining market&#xA;&gt;&gt; will tend to expend resources equivalent to miner reward.  It does not&#xA;&gt;&gt; prove that mining work has to expend *energy* as a primary cost.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Some might argue that energy expenditure has negative externalities and&#xA;&gt;&gt; that we should move to other resources.  I would argue that the negative&#xA;&gt;&gt; externalities will go away soon because of the move to renewables, so the&#xA;&gt;&gt; point is likely moot.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20210305/a6a1e694/attachment-0001.html&gt;</html></oembed>
