Proof of work
Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying proof-of-work. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 2992962-007 : Proof of work mining carries significant externalities: the authors estimate that the total energy cost of running the global network of computers solving proof of work puzzles was around 700 million
- 3125827-032 : SPoS is far more computationally efficient than proof of work implementations because nodes no longer hash mine; the only computation added beyond the block validity checking every blockchain performs
- 3128900-032 : The gamification design borrows the foundational proof of work principle that verifying a game was played properly is far easier than playing it properly, which is why bench validators can check task
- 3227933-019 : Most current blockchain applications lack complete decentralization: proof of work style validation has produced mining pools because of economies of scale and unbalanced reward structures.
- 3227967-032 : Existing blockchains and DAOs still lack genuine decentralization, and there are currently no true DAOs: Bitcoin's proof of work protocol has produced mining pools because of economies of scale and un
- 3249860-038 : Proof of Work remains the most popular consensus protocol type among the top 100 tokens, and the Other category alone comprises thirty-four tokens.
- 3266953-017 : Meaningful and secure reputation tokens supply the incentives needed for secure proof of stake consensus in block production, which eliminates the unsustainable inefficiencies of proof of work based b
- 3782198-024 : Bitcoin proved that a decentralized peer to peer network can manage valuable assets without a central authority, but the centralizing force of competition concentrated power anyway, as economies of sc
- 3782198-031 : Proof of work consensus is energetically wasteful because the entire global network redundantly computes wrong nonces, with the Bitcoin network consuming as much energy as the country of the Czech Rep
- 3782203-029 : The authors hold that the Bitcoin proof of work algorithm is ultimately flawed, that every consensus algorithm is flawed, and that it is not possible to create an algorithm that is not flawed.
- 3782203-030 : Bitcoin's proof of work has produced no protocol violation in more than a decade, meaning no rule breaking message has been incorporated into the finalized blockchain, even though anyone can run a hac
- 3808859-039 : A truly decentralized public blockchain must satisfy three simultaneous requirements: no points of centralization and corruption, full security at the level of proof of work, and transaction throughpu
- 3808873-008 : Proof of Work block rewards structurally reintroduce centralization: the economic nature of mining rewards incentivizes degrees of centralization through collective action of nodes that share rewards
- 3981021-014 : Only applicants who demonstrate both successful fundraising and successful fulfillment of donative intent are eligible for CHARITYxDAO voting associate status.
- 4015908-031 : Grin avoided privileging miners who could develop ASICs before launch by gradually scaling up the portion of coins allocated to the ASIC-friendly algorithm over two years, which allowed hobbyist miner
- 5225296-006 : SPoS shifts the burden of consensus from energy expenditure to validator reputation, measured against a baseline of over 140 terawatt-hours consumed annually by Bitcoin as of 2023.
