BIP Proposal: Consensus (hard fork) PoST Datastore for Energy Efficient Mining



Summary:

In this email chain, Andrew is responding to Yancy's previous email which had questioned the clarity and credibility of Andrew's proposal for a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP). Andrew acknowledges his mistake in using incorrect terminology and expresses gratitude for Yancy's feedback. He assures that he will update the GitHub repository and pull request accordingly to avoid any confusion. Yancy clarifies that his earlier email was not intended as an insult but rather as a genuine inquiry due to some mistakes in Andrew's proposal. He then jokingly asks if GPT3 can be used to generate a BIP and muses about the possibility of AI taking over Bitcoin development. Andrew responds by emphasizing that his main point is not to create a Bitcoin hardfork but rather to expand POW and fix security and sustainability issues. He offers to create preprints explaining the cryptography, hashing algorithm improvements, and consensus he is working on once the BIP is assigned draft status. Overall, the email chain revolves around Andrew's proposal for a BIP and Yancy's initial skepticism about its clarity and credibility.
