Does anyone have any educated opinions about Kaspa? It's the first crypto I've discovered that isn't entirely composed of red flags on first glance.

What's interesting about it is they use zk rollups to support ~1 second block times (with parallel block construction) while keeping economic nodes extremely lightweight (<40GB). Of course a full transaction history would probably be immense, but I'm not sure how important that would be for anything other than chain analysis.

Kaspa... Ya that got really popular for its minning profitability. But... XMR gives you red flags?

wut. zkp is red flag, rollup is red flag i kinda assumed you understood that a blockchain is a type of data corruption protection scheme for distributed databases and that as such it is governed by the CAP theorem and making availability that high is extremely high consistency requirement on a netw...

Very clever marketing team but just another shitcoin

I don't know much about kaspa but I have my doubts on it's decentralization

Well, mining centralization. There are no incentives whatsoever to mine. So only kaspa devs are actually mining... And if there were some small miners are irrelevant for the most part. and they are simply too late even if zk is a good thing (which is not).

Have you heard of Fartcoin? 💨

I took a dive (a little beyond surface level) to see what it's all about. My barber told me about it and said he was going to quite because he was going to be rich lol. Isn't the point of keeping track of a full transaction history so that you prove there's no double spend? Would love to hear your ...

Running a full node seems to only take about 18GiB unless I'm not really running a full node. The block DAG thing sounds great. The (alleged?) lack of pre-mine is good. The lack of custodial crap seems OK. I don't know the technical details. I just recall seeing a note from nostr:npub163gcvh4dwwqm4y...

I still look forward to seeing valid criticism of Kaspa here. I think folks are weary of so many shitcoins that they don't feel like taking time to investigate anything non-Bitcoin.
