over a decade of history, now 13 years, i have been observing the entire space, from the many proof of work forks and new chains (monero, other cryptonote coins) and the proof of stake, all the other privacy and zero knowledge projects, and the history especially of the proof of work coins and how things played out. time warp attacks, malicious miner attacks, opportunistic large hashpower miners pouncing on a coin when its exchange rate was up to skim value while destroying the cadence of the chain (i was working on fixing one from 2018-2020).

i'm not here for either core or blake2b. all i see is blockstream and a half arsed effort that is doomed to failure, already the testnet has seen sia miners jump on it and break the cadence to 5 hours between blocks.
