You do realize that proof of work comes from Bitcoin, right?
And it's not given "in exchange" for anything.
One may mine for years and never get a reward.
This attitude of the first miners (including Satoshi) is closer to what I propose - v4v, give without expecting anything in exchange (which would entail trade).
The only reason why people get rewards frequently nowadays is because mining pools (communism).
Quite paradoxical that you brought that up, don't you think?
