    Apart from all the other deflationary stuff…

    I can’t get past the adjustable difficulty lottery system they use for mining blocks every 10m… :/ there has to be a better way.

    It’s like diagonalizing huge matrices repeatedly just as a wait() function.

      there’s better methods than how Bitcoin works (PoW) like Proof of Stake, but that has its own problems, like bringing more centralization to the network. Like how with bitcoin if a miner controls more than half of the global hash rates, they can mint more money than should be, in a currency with PoS they could just buy half of the coins and do it. They probably wouldn’t because its not in their self interest, but its still a problem
