  I don't think this scales well. Does PoW merge mining add anything for a federated system? Seems like Fedimint could accomplish a lot of these things with the right modules if you're federating. Tx costs would be way lower too and you don't need miner coordination. Maybe I'm missing something. Probably should go dig into the code.
