marcinjachymiak··on A Proof of Useful Work for Artificial Intelligence on the Blockchain
> Ten verifiers are automatically selected based on the mined block hash (as a random seed).

Congrats you've reinvented proof-of-work in an obfuscated form.

This paper repeats the errors of all previous proof of "useful work" papers from the past. I'd recommend that people actually take a look at discussions on bitcointalk, IRC channels like #bitcoin-wizards, and Bitcoin mailing lists to learn about what has already been figured out for all these things.

marcinjachymiak··on The senatorial governance of Bitcoin: making (de)centralized money
A great empirical study you should pursue is initial blockchain download time with (full) 2000 MB blocks and low-grade consumer hardware.
marcinjachymiak··on Store the proof of a webpage saved with SingleFile in Bitcoin
There's already a better service that timestamps files in Bitcoin. It also uses blockchain space efficiently using servers that aggregate data that must be timestamped into a single Bitcoin transaction. You just need to publish a Merkle root and hold onto your Merkle proof.

Don't let consts get "trivially" casted away in code review. If something is no longer const than remove the keyword, or find another way to solve your problem
