... the best way to curb difficulty is using KGW and tweaking it for the best of BEE and as far as POS is more for the holders , what I suggest is first add KGW difficulty retarget formula tweaked for BEE and then later on when BEE goes BEEing we'd go ahead with POS
Also i did see some discussion that KGW has some security issues? aurora are worried about introducing it.
CGA coin has removed KGW from their code to avoid exploits...
Orbit has PoS already implemented, if you want to take a look at their code.
Only the Orbit dev (TheRedMist) is MIA, we have recently only seen support from a hired dev Ghostlander.
KGW has not been verified totally and is on theory and sandboxed operations and not tested on a real blockchain with 100 - 1000s of wallets and miners so yah , a network is secured by the number miners mining and the support of the end users thus it is what makes the network stronger to outside attacks
, KGW is simply an algorithm to curb retarget issues and multipool attacks so even if exploited will not make any drastic impacts to the coin.POS implementation is not an issue , it's just that we need to get the priorities straighted out and discussed with the tops in the community such as Cryptohunter and John since they are the one's who know's what the community needs.
PS: Orbitcoin became an entire mess sometime back.

If the exploit is possible then I wound't be so sure about this.
Looking at the thread BCX started , the exploit itself would lead to far more dangerous options for the attacker.
True any exploit gives dangerous options for the attacker but then again on the same thread someone challenged BCX to exploit Mazacoin but then it's yet to be tested on a real world scenario.
But I still doubt about the exploit and yet believe in the alogrithm, it's ultimatly the community's choice in embracing the same or not , thereby I'm not trying to push anything on to the community if they don't want it , just putting it all on the table , also the Kimoto Algorithm is widely used.
And while disecting and studying the algorithm I have not been able to find flaws with it though found many on other features.

If you think it is best Soopy we got with whatever plan you think best. If you take over as dev on Beecoin that would be great and you will have full control regarding the coin.
I was just wondering? does Bee not already have KGW ? It seems to have a very strong diff adjust every block.
If you think it is best for us to wait to have POS implemented then that is what we will do.
I am very confident the network will grow rapidly once we decide on the coins plan and implement that, because we will start a very large marketing and givewaway campaign.
Will the 2% 2% 1% block taxes be easy to code in?
It would be great my friend if you can list out everything you and the community is looking to see implemented in a list here so everyone will know what they can expect.
I'm going to start working on the taxes tonight and most probably release a new client update within a couple of hours.

Hi soopy ok great - here is the plan as far as i can speak.
1. we wish to secure the block chain as best we can -
a - If you think it is too early to go with POS then we could stick with POW and KGW and continue as we are now. If POS is a possibility in the future then i guess we have no need to change the block rewards. Since POS could be implemented before block reward turns undesirable by miners.
b- If you think starting POS now is a good idea then we leave it entirely to you to decide on what to do about the block rewards and POS rate. Because to remain at or around the 24Billion minting i have no real idea what would be the best way to do that right now - it is above my understanding of crypto - although we want to encourage people to leave wallets running and generating blocks. I think black coin which does this every 8 hours encourages you to have wallets open at all times. However since it's interest is compounded then inflation must grow rapidly as time progresses ... also does the block chain grow huge? ... Like i say i really find it hard to comprehend the full implications of different % and staking periods of POS so i'm am 100% sure you would understand the best way to do this over any of us. So if you do think the POS route is a good idea right now... then we leave it to you to decide.
2. The Block tax - We would like it to have a 5% overall block tax per block - splitting to 3 wallets .
wallet 1 = 2% for the bee donations to green peace bee's or another big one
wallet 2 = 1% for the dev's payment for helping bee and technical advice/coding
wallet 3 = 2% for the development pot = used for projects and building services/ giveaways etc.
That would be great... if you need any further info just let me know i will be on my machine for good few hours now.
thanks
