Hello Mike and others,

I just want to p= lug the open-source POW network mining simulator I recently wrote:=C2=A0https://github.com/LarryRuan= e/minesim

It simulates Bitcoin's existing = POW (of course), but probably would be easy to modify to correspond to vari= ations such as the one being proposed here. Sometimes simulating an algorit= hm can lead to insights beyond what's possible using only abstract reas= oning.
