Proof-of-work in its current form needs to die.

If it is based on proof-of-work it needs to be something useful.

If someone can prove proof-of-work won't work without wasted work then we need to make some sacrifices to make it workable. Because we cannot allow slow as molasses and/or extremely wasteful for all future.

If it is based on proof-of-stake there needs to be a fair distribution model.

I have some ideas for both, especially the first but I want to give them some more thought :-)

On the one hand we have people wanting a proof of work system there the work has value. On the other hand we have a developing AI industry giving out vast amounts of "work needing done". Someone needs to try connecting those.
