Possibly the history of an address and which cardinal chain it went to can be included in the address.  For example: 

1:2:4:E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS

So this address started on chain 1, moved  to chain 2 (upon a chain split) and finally moved to chain 4.  If an attempt from chain 2 is made to spend the balance that used to exist there it couldn't because the address has moved to chain 4.  The balance can only be spent on chain 4. 

Anyhow, this is just a thought.  Might not be needed. 

At a certain block height (when block's are getting full), addresses with coin are divided up between new chains--a chain split.  The miners (and full nodes) also divide up between chains.  At this point, addresses on chain 1 can only send to chain 1 however any address created will work on any chain.  So now when you spend coin on chain 2, it will be received by an address on chain 2.  Any new address created, however, can receive coins on any chain but, once again only spend on the chain it received on. 

Example:
If there were 8 cardinal chains,  address E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS could exist on all chains but this would be a separate identity for each one.  Another address on chain 2 could send 5 coins to E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS and the balance for E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS on chain 2 would be 5 (assuming it was 0 initially).  The other 7 chains would not have a record of E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS.  However, if an address on chain 8 wanted to send 10 coins to E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS, it could and the balance for E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS on chain 8 would be 10.  2:E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS could send up to 5 coins on chain 2 and 8: E1UG2nBnxbKoBuvZt1NQqxkRiZR35gfsJS could send up to 10 coins on chain 8.  Notice the prefixes designating the cardinal chain.


Current block size limits could be maintained.  The transactions would be divided among chains over time allowing for much greater scalability.   A protocol would have to be determined for wallets and partial nodes(spv,etc.) to discover full nodes on each chain so when a client wants to spend coin on a particular cardinal chain(chain 1, chain 2, chain 3, etc.) it can reach the proper full nodes for that chain.  Also, any cardinal chain can split when blocks start getting full. 

There are a ton of implementation details but this is the general idea.

That kind of thing.

That's what I'm talkin' bout.

Awesome.

Maybe we should all start submitting requests there and being a bit more active.  You GOTTA have GoldCoin.  I mean come on.  GoldCoin!

What do you know....a good, solid coin that expands into regions where it's needed and also has great devs and a growing community actually performs well in the long run.  Microguy dishing out those Cryptsy wallets with Kelsey's assistance sure was a class act.   I can't recall seeing people act so unselfishly in Crypto. 

Ok, who's giving Microguy all the caffeine?  He's a ball of fire that can't be contained.
