Very welcome to have you working on this! What is a “Proof of Partial Work”? I can’t find reference to it anywhere except this post.

[I jotted down some thoughts on this here,](https://github.com/braidpool/braidpool/discussions/70) but I don’t see any really great solutions. I’d welcome some new ideas.

There is also a new [bitcoin mining mailing list](https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoinminingdev?pli=1) that you may be interested in joining.
