@ElliotTheTrader @WatcherGuru 99% of all crypto is centralized one way or another. Maybe you looking at the wrong crypto 101 handbook

@aka_gaurang You forgot to ask Ondo big brother Bitcoin if he agrees or not.

@hashdag @Kaspa_KEF Thank you for not writing the post as a King James Version. Easy to understand. More of this please.

[Yonatan Sompolinsky @hashdag]

since many (~4) asked me about the zcash bug - - - earlier this year I had this convo with a zcash core dev:

zk: it's weird that kaspa is pruning past records
me: why does it need to keep 'em?
zk: the whole point of ledgers is to prove correctness of all state transitions
me: the whole point of ledgers is to provide focal points for the consensus state
zk: the whole point...
me: hmm then why did you come work in zcash? you know the Sprout->Sapling counterfeiting bug
zk: Turnstile guarantees that the counterfeit could have been very limited
me: true but you still cannot prove or even reason about correct state transitions besides the total supply cap
zk: that's actually a good point

----

the most hardcore cryptography coin is shifting away from correctness proofs to practical-enough proofs. I believe this is a step in the right+practical direction, yet the paradigm shift should not go unnoticed - -cryptography is giving way to consensus.

if you came to zcash for cryptographic integrity, reconsider. there are many good reasons to root for zcash prospering. zcash is serving a more important role than bitcoin, whose utility for the original mission is by now blurry. cryptographic integrity is/should not be one of those reasons.

----

BTW the bug should definitely have been exploited. I don't know the personal values of Taylor Hornby, and I shouldn't be required to make the effort to learn them. I only know that if I found such an exploit, it wouldn't take me more than a few minutes to tempt myself into printing a longint amount of ZEC and deciding later what to do with it.

I wouldn't necessarily use it to exit the pool immediately and corrupt the supply, I'd wait to see if some portion of the broken pool does not seem to migrate on time (probably lost funds), in which case I would not think twice before claiming the funds myself.

you could argue that no harm done, and you might be right, but then again you are here -- in zcash / in crypto -- for its consensus dynamics, the ability to coordinate interests and convictions across different trust zones around some shared asset; not for some pristine mathematical integrity.

@WatcherGuru Protection but not all protection. We need more protection for retail and users

@OfficialTravlad Good luck 🍀

@OfficialTravlad You are the only I know of that consistently do this and give out money to promote $kas. And you been doing for a while and often too. I don’t need any of the gift 🎁 but much appreciate the effort and promotion.

I just hope one day we can all laugh together as a community

@coinbureau If you believe this is the main reason why he sold when he told his followers the opposite, you deserve to lose money.

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@shahh One word for everyone who sees this. Nothing last forever.

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@Deestar This is a stupid analogy. The whole market is down. 🤦

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@CoinMarketCap @rla323 lol 😆

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@RAGarbage Because the vision of two projects are different and doesn’t align with itself. Bitcoin share more similarities. However you are right. Kaspa community should engage more with other projects

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@theunipcs Just sold my $useless. Waiting for another good entry to get back in.

[WhatsCooking @CookFishNSmoke]

@JustinCBram What this guy is saying does make sense. That doesn’t mean Bitcoin won’t rocket later or for longer term.

[Dr Martin Hiesboeck @MHiesboeck]

This marks the end of the Bitcoin religion.

Meanwhile, $KAS impresses with new records and features. As do many other alt coin.

Bitcoin maxis are a dying breed.

@TedPillows AI built out is where all the money is going

[Kaspa @kaspaunchained]

$KAS The Toccata Hard Fork is now live! Update your nodes well before June 30th so that you can remain in consensus!

@Justin_Bons They can’t 100% be sure that none of the supply was artificially minted.
