The mathematical baseline for Proof of Infrastructure Endurance (PoIE): what holds up, what doesn’t, and what we test next.

Most blockchains give influence to whoever can spend the most right now: hash power in Proof of Work, stake in Proof of Stake. Whoever brings the most resources today can, in principle, take over tomorrow.

GrahamBell, the Layer 1 blockchain I’m building, tests a different idea. New identities (IDs) are issued one at a time at a fixed global rate, one every 30 seconds (1,051,200 a year), no matter how much hardware joins. Each participant can try at most one hash per second, and groups of other participants, called Witness Chains, enforce that cap. If that holds, influence can’t be bought in a burst. It has to be built up over years, while everyone else builds it up too. I call this Proof of Infrastructure Endurance (PoIE) , or Proof of Time (A new time-based sybil-resistance model) .

That’s a claim, not a result.…
