IF YOU BURN 10 COINS AT BLOCK 777, YOU CAN ONLY GET A POB REWARD FOR THAT ONE BLOCK. BLOCK 778 AND NO POB REWARD ? BURNT COINS GONE FOREVER.
Not at all, if you burn coins, you will be able to mine with them as long as your computer is on.
Still not had chance to check the code. However, this would seem to indicate that spent PoB coins (i.e. all burnt coins) do carry 'weight'.
Yes or No ?
EDIT: I presume 'Effective Burnt Coins' vs 'Decayed Burnt Coins' - otherwise that would be pointless.
From the whitepaper...
" Burn Hash = multiplier * [Internal Hash] "
and
" Proof-of-Burn Block Generation Specifics ...
Like proof-of-stake block generation, the hashing operation occurs of over a select search space (one hash per burn
transaction per proof-of-work block). The hardware required to maintain that hash operation is minimal, thus the energy
consumption and hardware maintenance can be considered to be near none. The block generation of proof-of-burn scales
linearly, meaning if 200 coins were burned and subsequently generated 10 proof-of-burn blocks over the course of 1 day, it
can be expected that if 40 coins were to be burned, 2 proof-of-burn blocks would be generated over the course of that same
day, assuming the effective burnt coins in the network remained constant. ... "
So, all is well.
