Anyone working on any projects to enhance the value of HYP?
That is the million dollar question.
I still think that the concept of extra layers (like Segregated Witness in bitcoin) is applicable in the Hyperstake network. At least unless I'll immerse myself deeper into the protocol an the code itself.
Few words about extra layers that can store any kind of information (medical, personal bio, historical etc., or even smart property) in a private form on top of the main chain. With the help of some bitcoin protocol functionality a special kind of transaction to yourself can be made which will follow the consensus rules but add outputs used by clients with extra layers support. The subsequent transaction that references these outputs (it should be included in a block and confirmed by a modified client) will burn part of initially sent coins (the service fee) to prevent spam attacks and create natural deflation caused by the use case. Probably, it will also reward the staker. And, of course, this transaction will have an additional section with whatever info it was designed to content. This part is not hashed into txID, so it won't break the consensus and blockchain consistency. Instead it will be hashed separately and the hash will be added to the input of the coinstake tx by a staker with a modified client (that's the moment where I have some doubts ATM though).
There's the chance that the first transaction can be omitted. It should also exist a mechanism that will prevent unmodified clients to include such transactions into a transaction block, as they won't hash the extra layer data (these transactions can be slightly altered and then reverted to the normal state by the modified miner before including into the blockchain).
All in all, that's the basic idea
