OP, bitcoin mining already works perfectly. There is zero reason to change it.

I don't think this is an algorithm, it only a basic idea from you.

Tho if your purpose is to try implementing a new algorithm to bitcoin like this I don't think community will agree, all hardware now is already efficient in fact they need to be more efficient so they can still be profitable.

more efficiency doesnt rebalance profitability equally

it just makes everyone xx% more then they sell bringing market price down thus corrects back to same situation
the disparity of mining cost is not due to the asics but the electric rate of different locations
the solution is to move location to get the best electric rate to compete with those already in the best electric rate but that too was another "centralisation threat" of hashpower
...

quite agree with you, efficiency in the Bitcoin mining process will make conditions in the Bitcoin market even worse because miners will get more rewards and the possibility they will sell it is higher and it will disrupt the crypto market which is currently experiencing a storm .

efficient is not always the answer to make the mining process better. even when miner companies use renewable energy, it will not be a solution to increase efficiency, because they need to maintain equipment for their energy and many other complicated things. that's why only a few mining companies use renewable energy.

..
however what you do notice is that when there is a disparity of mining cost. this allows for speculation of the market

take for instance hawaii and japan. their mining cost is $140k per coin. so they dont mine. however they are happy to buy bitcoin at anything less. because that market price is a bargain compared to mining. thus allows for market speculation to creep upto $140k right now if theire was alot of butyers in that region pushing the price up

if everyone was mining at the most efficient mining cost of ~$23k right now, then no one would want to buy bitcoin for say $28k-$140k if everyone could just mine it for $23k

thus the mining cost disparity due to international electric price disparity allows for market speculation

I don't see anything wrong with what you wrote except that it is not an algorithm. I would call it advice.

If you just change it to other Algorithm it will change the whole machine today and need lot of people agree with you. if don't it would be hardfork and made the coin as a altcoin

becasue mining is random number finding. even if you change difficulty every block you cant exactly control it to be a precise 10 minute interval

you will end up getting alot more blocks being less than 10 minutes as soon as you drop difficulty if something marginally went over 10 minutes. thus end up having to offset that next quick block by making the next block alot more then 10 minutes..

sometimes the simple fix is the one that works best. as the result of over complicating things doesnt make much of a difference

as for efficiency.. hardware already does this. thats what asics are already doing

as for geo location latency. the ping rate of international data is in milliseconds so already not a problem.. afterall once the pool broadcasts to 7 main continents of the first distrbution hop/relay of a solved block its then in enough 'local' regions and there in milliseconds..

the issue is that non mining nodes dont connect to other local nodes to only collect block broadcasts locally.. . so less about mining or needing to change mining algo..  and more about geo locating all full nodes to make the peer connect regionally rather than random connects around the world.. problem with this is that it then centralises the network where shutting off some super node connected to pool from america then would lock out all american nodes that connect to that super node.

this causes some centralisation issues, identity issues, and also only results in a few millisecond differences per relay.. which if you knew of the "8 degree of separation"( 8 nodes distribute to 8 nodes distribute to 8 nodes) 88
you would only need a few hops to get the block to be seen by the entire network. so not really a big deal over all

it was one of the debunks against blockstream fibre which wanted to organise the distribution of block solves... becasue the risk was if governments were to take out fibre and it would cause node access chaos if nodes relied on fibre too much as the first source of block distribution internationally. so people didnt rely on blockstream fibre for block sources. so it didnt really get adoption.. because the benefits were marginal (milliseconds)
