FAQ
FAQ 1. If transaction number is the weight to generate blocks, how do you prevent speculative transactions from being used to win?
Weight is one year time accumulated on-chain transactions in a harvest club. The reward method is the transaction fee distributed to all historical transaction addresses in the club. The history will go back to 365 days; it shall make speculation and abuse costly and unprofitable. The long time makes speculators wait one year to complete their return cycle. A positive externality of speculative transactions: they will stabilize the transaction fee and guide logical fees quickly, just like derivatives make futures prices logical.
FAQ 2. Why is TAU egalitarian?
The core assumption is: rich people make less essential transactions compared to poor people. Rich people spend more per transaction, but as a group, poor people make more transactions. The reward set will tend to go to a group with more transactions, slowly moving money from the rich set to the poor set.
FAQ 3. How do you prevent exchange attacks? Exchanges have higher holding and transaction volume.
Most POS mechanisms are vulnerable to this. However, our novel on-chain transaction counting methods give no advantage to the high holders group. An exchanges internal transactions are not on-chain, so they will not be counted in our proof of transactions. Only money wiring among exchange addresses will be counted, so ultimately an exchange will be treated as a rich person. In POS, large stake holders receive a linear reward. In POT, collectively poor club members are much more pervasive than the rich. It is not in an exchange’s best interest to burn lots of transaction fees back on chain for a long time.
FAQ 4. Will POT transaction fees be higher than POW and POS ones?
Through research, we discovered that POT transaction fees are not only the cost to pay for validation, but also an “investment” to secure future network income. Your TAU harvest club will pay back fees for a year according to your shares of historical transactions. POT transaction fees have "investment" naturally built-in. In contrast, POW fees goes to the cost of electricity. POS fees could be viewed as interest to stake holders. Both cost and interests are sunk without future cash flow.
