@prlxchain The installation of the Parallax Node on PC has become incredibly smooth and user-friendly. All the complicated terminal steps have been removed, turning it into a simple application that almost anyone can use.
The Parallax faucet — a throwback, 1:1 replica of Gavin Andresen’s BTC faucet — was launched a couple days ago giving 5 LAX per visitor.
Today, @jack and @BitcoinatBlock announced their BTC faucet.
Unmatched coincidence 😁
In 2010, Gavin Andresen created the Bitcoin Faucet and gave away 5 BTC to anyone who visited. Most people ignored it.
Today, we're giving away 5 Laxes per visitor at https://t.co/gL4PQIyxia.
We even use proof-of-work to prevent automated spam, a nod to Hashcash by @adam3us.
Don't make the same mistake twice.
@tectumsocial This is a tactic to stall and deceive people. The website you show as having locked the tokens is just an interface; nothing is actually locked.
@prlxchain Congratulations on the 10-minute block design—smart for ensuring global propagation, minimizing reorgs, and boosting decentralization in a PoW setup like Ethash. Long-term security over speed is key for a solid L1!
