 A crypto currency needs to be centerless – it needs to able to survive the seizure of key servers by a hostile powerful party.  Trouble with bitcoin is that it is not centerless – proof of work winds up being centralized in a small number of extremely powerful and extremely expensive computers.
 
-Thus we need a system with proof of share, and not only proof of share, but proof of client stake – the power over the system needs to reside with peers that have a lot of wealthy clients – and it needs to be hard to find who the clients are, and where they are keeping their secrets, so that even if someone seizes important peers on charges of tax evasion and money laundering, does not thereby gain control.

 If the system handles an enormous number of transactions, peers are going to be big and expensive, thus vulnerable to people armed with vague and open ended charges of tax evasion and money laundering. Hence the power of peer over the currency needs to be proportional to the wealth controlled by the secrets held by that peer’s clients. And that peer’s clients need to be free to move from one peer to the next, and apt to move to peers that make it difficult for Mueller to find their clients.
