My last idea was kind of scattered across the bitcoin vs gold thread and, not unlike all my other previous ideas, consists of a far-out hybrid model (the hows aren’t ironed out and may not work at all idk). The reason for that stems back to the asic mega-discussion and my own reasoning that an asic-gpu ‘stalemate’ of sorts is the best option. I helped chilebob with that even-odd scheme that time which was super fun though how to pit them evenly was the problem, they’re two different kinds of machines 
and aren’t really equitable in comparison even when forced into equality. Asics completely blow gpus away with hashing and gpus can potentially do infinity -2 more things than an asic. The even-odd deal was forcing a ferrari to permanently tie a minivan and was clunky (but fun!).
So the idea is halve the reward into two seperate chains; the current main asic driven chain and a new gpu oriented chain. My idea for it is a PoR/Pos system where the rewards are not transactable on the second gpu chain except to transfer to main chain and never return. This makes potentially long blocktimes there irrelevant, prevents combining stakes and points the power consumption problem at more meaningful work with all manners of gpus. It otherwise could only really help secure the mainchain more by boosting competition over the remaining reward there which I think is how it goes anyways. I know its weird, 2 reward systems but still only 1 way to spend it. I’ll look through that other stuff I posted but I think thats the gist of it.
