Please be aware that your emails are being spamfoldered by Gmail. This is because Yahoo has enabled DMARC enforcement for mail sent from Yahoo and that renders it incompatible with Sourceforge mailing lists.

There are two fixes:

1) Don't use Yahoo.

2) The real fix which is, we should stop using Sourceforge mailing list software

Fundamentally all Yahoo is saying with their policy is that rewriting of mails sent from their service is not allowed. This is a highly reasonable policy, akin to forbidding SSL MITM attacks, but for email.

There are several ways to be compatible with this policy: unfortunately sf.net doesn't do any of them.

My understanding is that sidechains require merged mining support and that sidechains create no coinbase transactions themselves. When Bitcoin Core supports the two-way peg then I would update my source code branch to incorporate that or any other change that is released. Ideally, when sidechains can work with PoW Bitcoin, then those same sidechains should work without any changes with PoS Bitcoin running in my testnet.

I will be examining PPC, NXT and whitepapers for ideas that I can implement in such a way as the result can be called Bitcoin. The only difference would be the absence of wasteful Proof-of-Work, and the presence of mining rewards distributed to full nodes in proportion to the amount of bitcoin each is willing to expose to the network. Coin age is a good starting point. A reference peer-to-peer pool developed by me would be responsible for fairly distributing the mining rewards as daily dividend payments to PoS full node pool members.

In a few days, I plan to establish a Proof-of-Stake Bitcoin project thread in the Project Development sub-forum of Bitcointalk. We can continue the technical discussion there, starting with a list of principles.

Are proof of stake blockchains compatible with the sidechain/two-way peg system invented by Greg (and maybe others - reports unclear)?
