The best thing you can do is show some code. "Qualified folks" are too busy working on bitcoin, or on their own projects, to try to discuss something that isn't concrete. If you think you have something better than bitcoin, show us the code, and im sure that the smart people will tell you if you are right or not.
I understand you would not want to show code in order to avoid getting ripped off, but please understand that this is a double edged sword, since if there is no code to show, no one is going to care in a field where there is increasing competition and limited time, that's my opinion
Thanks for the input. It's really that I worked out a reputation system, and realized that the value that it generates could also be used as a consensus protocol. There's quite a few challenges since it opens up many more angles by which the system could be rigged, but most of them are defensible- at least the ones I've found so far. It's purely theoretical so far though.
