One of the little-known aspects of bitcoin is the nature of the proof of work system.

In this paper, we address the issues of using alternate proof of work systems with regards to either incorporating alternate functions in an extension of simply securing the network against the use of proof of work systems in an attempt to create a one person one vote scenario in place of economic incentivisation.
