Hector,
I can only say 2 things in the brief time I have now:
1. There is a solution that I proposed for proving you own a copy of the
block-chain. It's using aymmetric-time functions:

2. I'm finishing a paper on a

If you can actually come up with a technical solution that allows for a node

other nodes.

contention for block space.
