I would like to recommend that our community start referring to POW as proof of waste in all conversations about bitcoin.

I would then like suggest that we refer to our system as a "Real Proof of Work" system where by all stakeholders have come by their stake by doing valuable work.

I like it.

I have always sucked at spelling ;)   Memorization is not my strong suite... spelling cannot be reduced to logical abstractions.

I will quote you...and that means A LOT of quotes  :)

Real Proof of Work could also be conceived as a Proof of Value or Proof of Worth (e.g. its conceivable we could pay shares for capital already created - such as buying in another network or application).
But Real Proof of Work is a more pointed jab at bitcoin.

I honestly sat here for a bit wondering if you meant POW miners were fat'n'lazy and to not be as offensive as proof of waste.  looolz.
I speak for myself and only myself.
