Sure! Let's refine your topic on the decentralized payment processing for EV charging stations. Here are a few questions to help guide us:
1. **Target Features**: What specific features are you most interested in for the payment processing? For example, would you prefer a focus on transaction speed, security, user experience, cost-effectiveness, or scalability?
2. **User Engagement**: How do you envision EV owners and commuters interacting with your system? Should it include a mobile app, a web interface, or something else?
3. **Collaborative Elements**: Are you planning to collaborate with specific businesses or service providers in the EV ecosystem (e.g., charging station operators, EV manufacturers)? If so, which ones?
4. **Technical Focus**: Since you mentioned wanting to create a new consensus algorithm, are you interested in a specific type (e.g., Proof of Stake, Delegated Proof of Stake, or a completely new mechanism)?
5. **Broader Context**: Besides payment processing, do you want to explore any other functionalities, like incentives for EV charging during off-peak hours or integration with renewable energy sources?
These questions will help narrow down the focus for your research topic.
