arXiv has just published an interesting new Proof-of-Steak paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.06498

Abstract:

We introduce Proof-of-Steak (PoS) as a fundamental net-zero block generation
technique, often accompanied by Non-Frangipane Tokens. Genesis cut is
gradually heated and minted (using the appropriate sauce), enabling the min=
ers
to redirect the extracted gold and the dissipated heat into the furnace, he=
nce
enabling the first fully-circular economy ever built using blockchain
technology, utilising tamper-evident steak hach=E9. In this paper we presen=
t the
basic ingredients for building Proof-of-Steak, assessing its global impact,
and opportunities to save the world and beyond!

I think this is a promising new line of research into novel uses for
blockchain technology.  I'm eagerly awaiting the followup publication on pr=
oof
of consumption sold as NFT's.

Peter.
