Proof of steak: a scalable, efficient, protein-rich algorithm

Proof of steaak is pretty water intensive, which limits scaling and produces just as much waste as proof of work. We should move to a proof of spud system instead, based on cryptographic hash browns.

As the website indicates, "it’s also designed to be easily replaceable by other algorithms based on lab-grown or plant-based meat". Our scientists think of everything!

Yeah, I saw that, but I'm still concerned about plant-based meat emulation being a processing-intensive solution.

I think if it’s water efficiency you’re after you should check out my proof of millet system. It continues to produce new coins even in deserts and historic droughts. And you don’t have to drain Jackson Lake for your proofs!

None of that was covered in their white paper

It wouldn't stay white if we wrote things on it!
