	It seems to be the only way to do things as far as current 'cryptocurrencies' are concerned. I obviously don't know a better a way, and nobody seems to know such a way either, but I don't claim that a better way is impossible. Just that it doesn't exist today.

	...what do you think your reference to 'physics' means, exactly? 

	anyway, so far cryptographic 'coins' are not coins at all. They are just global accounting systems. An actual coin is an object that stands by itself and doesn't require the arpanet to exist.
