Microchains

The Ethereum devs have been talking about microchains lately so I figured it was time to write up what my thoughts on this sort of thing have condensed into.

As a note, I didn't coin the term microchain, though I've heard Gavin Wood use it (and Stephan Tual). I didn't have a term and I think this is perfect.

The point of a microchain is to provide a shared scalable PoW 'container' - a chain meant for nothing else but wrapping data in a PoW. Typically this has been done in a roundabout way (see AuxPoW or Mastercoin/Counterparty) that requires a lot of data, and is not efficient for any 'piggy-backing' chains hanging off the main chain. This isn't a huge issue; insofar as - in the case of AuxPoW - proofs just go from 80 bytes to ~500 bytes (unless you're using P2Pool or Eligius then it's a bunch more). This is because the whole chain from block hash to PoW must be included, which is `Hash(Header(MerkleTree(Coinbase(ScriptSig(BlockHash
