I came up a protocol that could be utilized alongside a cryptocurrency - the Decentralized Autonomous Financial Network (DAFNe) Protocol.

While that thread approaches TL;DR status, suffice it to say that the first application of such a protocol is a lending network. The protocol essentially allows a virtual bitcoin transaction to be built in a separate blockchain, and when a condition is met, the virtual transaction is transferred as an actual transaction to the bitcoin network.
(I figured the decentralized mining people would appreciate this effort to completely decentralize lending).
In this way, one could get thousands of individuals to have stake in a loan, distributing risk, and increasing money velocity.
Of course, the fundamental problem of any of these decentralized networks requiring proof of work is reward for the work. I don't think the protocol should create a secondary asset (such as the mechanism behind Loancoin, because I think this just leads us down the same black hole that is our current financial system.. reserve notes), so as it stands, the DAFNe would skim some percentage from the interest rate to provide miner rewards, though I ran the numbers and these rewards are minimal at low levels of network activity (approach 0.01 BTC per block at something like 10k loans of 50 BTC with 5% interest).
Long story short, is there a way to implement the p2pool protocol into a network right off the bat? So that way, even if a node came in with 2X available network hashrate, things would still stay decentralized?
I probably don't fully understand the innerworkings behind p2pool..... but I wanted to communicate, because I believe in communication.
if you want to take up the reply in the other thread (to prevent a derail), that would make sense.
Or if you want to flame me, I'm wearing the right shoes.
