I've heard of Proof of Storage too but this is an anti-DOS proposal; perhaps not what you're looking for.

I'm liking the Proof of Porn idea.  Is there a whitepaper you could link us to?

I think it is all color, HD now, no whitepapers. :-)

Good point.  How about this?

MaidSafe/safecoin uses Proof of Resource (POR), but it's only at the IPO stage. It sounds similar to Proof of Storage.

Proof of XXX could also be Proof of Proof as in moonshine whisky.

In general proof of XXX shows that you are willing to spend some resource, i.e. that what you provide was not free to produce.
Proof of work: resource = work = energy
Proof of stake: resource = coin * days = you keep your coins but the number of days is reset.
Proof of burn: resource = coins. You are spending your coins.

The last case is most used in the first distribution of an altcoin. You burn your bitcoin and in exchange you receive altcoins.

when I saw the title (Getting lost in Proof of XXX) I thought it would measure your importance on the network by the amount of porn you have. what's wrong with me

I thought the same... Tongue

By the way, another proof of xxx I have come across is proof of burn, where the coins are burnt by sending them to an irrecoverable address. Though I am not sure what it proves !!!

Yeah, most people are lazy and have an aversion to work. Alternatives to proof-of-work are for the get rich quick crowd.

So we have Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, but I read about a number of other proofs out there. Just cant find them and was hoping someone would have a list to more proofs or a comparison review somewhere of different proofs. I want to dig into the subject a bit more and see what I can possibly think of from that.
