Your link to "Right to Vote should be for those that Pay Taxes" was interesting.

I agree it is dangerous to have folks that don't pay taxes voting - they'll tend to vote for more free stuff and once they are more than 50% of the population, that is the end.

Next logical extension is the weight of your vote should be determined by how much taxes you do pay.

And at that point, fairly close to recreating the current upvote system with SP in Steemit.

But for consensus about the longest chain in blockchains, we do not need anyone to decide anything, we just need to be sure we all choose only one longest chain.

Thus I was searching for an algorithm so that we do not have to give control to any whales (which both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work do). And I think I invented that algorithm.

Also I hope the example of Greece in my reply to @agcrypt gets you interested in those other links.

Which is thus patriarchy, because without unearned privilege then females spend time pregnant and caring for children, thus they will not accumulate as much monetary wealth as men (statistically that is). And also because biologically/psychologically men are more competitive in analytical pursuits.

There are statistical outliers and women should be allowed to compete if they can earn it (but without privilege most will not choose to).
