Erik, No, it is not, but I would like to ask anyone with any feedback on proof-of-loss to please direct it only to my email, or else follow the discussion links on the Proof-of-Loss home page.

As an abstract could not contain all that, I wrote an introduction with examples. I also adopted a suggestion of including the current block height in the proof-of-loss data once I realized: * Preventing the same proof-of-loss from chaining consecutive blocks was not the purpose of the proof-of-loss context, which did it statistically rather than logically. * The presence of that height in the block header made serial chaining easier to enforce, by removing the need to include additional block height information. While revising the algorithm, I made some corrections, mainly to: * Transaction prioritization (which now uses fees instead of rights). * Inactivity fees. Finally, the new version more aptly derives the design and often has better wording.
