All,
I would like to propose a new BIP to bitcoin called BlockReduce.
BlockReduce presents a new blockchain topology that offers 3+ orders of
magnitude improvement in transaction throughput while avoiding the
introduction of hierarchical power structures and centralization. This is
accomplished through a modification to the block reward incentive to not
only reward work, but to also reward optimization of network constraints
and efficient propagation of transactions. This is accomplished by creating
a Proof-of-Work (PoW) managed hierarchy of tightly-coupled, merge-mined
blockchains.
BlockReduce is actually highly compatible with the Bitcoin codebase in that
in only requires a sharding of state and the introduction of a 268 byte
header that allows for 3 levels of merge-mining. Please checkout a paper
outlining BlockReduce here:

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. Also, if you
could tell me the process for getting a BIP listed on Github I would
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Karl Kreder
