It occurred to me that a more useful cryptocurrency would be one which didn't require a network to validate transactions. It would consist of some kind of (self-mined?) token that can be proven to be unique and to be "owned" only by the holder and likely be associated with a wallet. Spending it would simply change the token so that it's associated with a different wallet. Something like this might be even more fungible than a fiat note having a serial number.

Has a white paper been released describing a system which reflects some or all of these qualities?

Has a white paper been released describing a token which precludes doublespending without needing a network, at least after it is initially created?

It finally occurred to me that a real cryptocurrency would be one which didn't require a network to validate transactions. While bitcoin was a giant leap, it has been legislated out of popular use. I believe something even more decentralized might come along and sweep it away.

A real crypto would consist of some kind of token that can be proven to be unique and to be "owned" only by the holder. I guess it would be associated with a wallet. Spending it would simply change the token so that it's associated with a different wallet. I wonder if anyone's discussing this.

BTW, could this question be any more obnoxious? :-)
