\begin{abstract}
  Blockchains rely on decentralized consensus between miners. Several ways of
  achieving it in a safe, provable, and fair manner have emerged. The oldest
  approach dating back to Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper, known as Proof of Work
  (PoW) implemented in numerous cryptocurrencies is extremely expensive and
  leads to severe energy waste. Cheaper algorithms based on Proof of Stake
  (PoS) promise similar security to PoW, but are usually prone to exploitation.
  We propose a novel hybrid between PoW and PoS based on BitcoinNG, which
  combines advantages of both without acquiring their drawbacks.
