Talks About Blockchain and Blockweave Archiving
summary
Archain proposes a working blockweave: a blockchain variant that links each new block to a randomly chosen previous block and requires a proof-of-access to mine, which economically rewards storing older blocks and drives self-organizing redundancy. The system accepts small on-chain payments to add pages to a permanent archive, distributes mining and transaction rewards that decay over time, and aims to prevent retroactive erasure of online records rather than merely promising theoretical benefits.
