$nano guards against reusable hardware attacks by: 1) consensus is remotely reassignable disconnecting it from a physical presence. 2) market cap > mining hardware capex; tying consensus to market cap gives a stronger resistance to attack.

shows how easy it is to 51% attack some of the smaller PoW coins. For some coins, 100% of the hashrate can be rented from NiceHash, which removes the capital costs of the attack! For example, Bytecoin (marketcap ~$1B) can be 51% attacked for $557! 😲

@RetirementRight Bitcoiners are rent seekers. They extract rent from fees which are collected based on congestion which is why they keep throughput artificially low. They extract rent from inflation which is why they use an incredibly inefficient algorithm for consensus to justify the waste.

@WeNanoApp has included the ISS satellite simulation which literally travels all across the world and pays out $NANO to user falling under its scope. This is very much better than the Blockstream Bitcoin Node satellite😂 More bullish on $NANO🚀

@elonmusk A system where you perpetually need a larger number of new people to fund the smaller existing group of people is literally a Ponzi scheme. This isn’t misanthropy, it’s accounting.

Smartest minds of the subset of people still wasting their time on Bitcoin. No one wants to ascribe their profession career to a polluting wasteful piece of technology that has no trajectory towards scaling to solve the problem it was designed to solve.

Discovering such vulnerability on Lightning after so many years having the smartest minds looking at a handful of scripts and their interactions is the best illustration of why we should keep highly skeptical about adding new opcodes to Bitcoin.

It’s looking like parasitic data is going to be permanent problem going forward. Nano isn’t immune but this issue was considered early in design and a large degree of mitigation in place. More is planned.

Doing more doesn't always equate to doing better. Nano creator, Colin, explains why storing data on the nano network can lead to wider issues.

Daily #Dogecoin transactions have skyrocketed to ATH (650k), surpassing #BTC and #LTC transactions today due to folks trying to cram tokens (DRC20 "standard") and other stuff on top of the Dogecoin network. Many have been rushing to mint these "tokens" over the past two days.

This can be disproven through counterexample: - An Excel spreadsheet (non-scalable) - Publicly editable (non-secure) - Hosted on a single FTP server (non-decentralized) Is worse in every way compared to #nano . In fact, most blockchains are an improvement over this example.

$nano and the chain-per-account data structure was picked so determining conflict can be done in constant time and memory. An arbitrary DAG requires graph traversal to find conflict leading to a memory and compute time explosion that gets worse with depth.

A Monte Carlo over consensus rules will not end well. There's no replacement for thoughtful, careful design. TL;DR iota's tangle is a confused pile of nonsense. Now they're trying to fix it by Monte Carlo, instead of thoughtful analysis. Blockholm syndrome in action.

You cannot use bitcoin as money. What you can do is to stop using money (liquidity services) altogether and use bitcoin as an illiquid medium of exchange instead. 2/2
