@SatoshiSingh PoLW sounds like a hybrid of PoW and proof of burn. I agree
with befreeandopen that proof of burn is basically a form of proof of
stake. My conclusion from this exploration
<https://github.com/fresheneesz/proofOfTimeOwnership> is that hybrid
protocols are a dead end because hybrid protocols have one weaker link
that's easier to attack.

In this case, miners are burning coinbase rewards. The proof of stake is
the burn itself. However, a miner would only burn coins if doing so lead to
greater rewards in the future. So the burned coins are in fact actually
earned, and still have value. Therefore I would think that miners would
still do an amount of work totaling up to the full value of the block
reward, regardless of whether they burn it, because any burnt coins should
be expected to lead to more coins in the future than were burned. What am I
missing?
