APR: many levels of percentage to define
PoS flex:A new feature temporary allowing a faster block time if more than X transactions are pending in the mem pool.
We could use an improved PoS version while implementing new security rules to maintain the consensus. I'm thinking about a limitation regarding the number of consecutive blocks a node would be allowed to mint. Such a limitation would enforce the node to wait for new blocks from the network before broadcasting a new block. It would also prevent a node to deliver all required confirmations and to impose its version of the blockchain to the entire network as well.
I thought about some new features to optimize coins minting. The first one is a gauge that would monitor the inputs and provide information regarding the minting health. The second one would replace the manual coin control plugin while running a specific agent. It would group many outputs into a single input regarding user settings to maintain a strong staking weight.
About Tx fees, charity, etc. :I thought about 2 distinct settings for fees, the first one for standard transactions and the second one for micro-payments. Something like 0.01 for 1 coin or more and 0.0001 for less than 1 coin.
Standard Tx fees could be sent to 2 wallets regarding the block number: fee for pair blocks going to the foundation wallet and fee for impair blocks to the charity wallet.
I also thought about a higher fee of 100 coins applied to coins destroyed for MN and sent to the foundation wallet or shared 50/50 between the foundation and the charity address.
Fees for specific transactions could be destroyed in a verifiable way to limit the inflation. I'm thinking about fees per Kbytes if we are implementing DiguSign.
Multi purpose Coin: for sure!
Blockchain usage: some interesting proposals to study
I would just add this: encryption and safe storage for ideas, scientific discoveries, inventions, etc.
Additional features:
Staking for charity: is not required if fees for charity are implemented and if the charity wallet is a Super Stacker
DigiShield: to study. Multi-pools are precious for little investors and they can contribute to the community growth
Segwit: OK
