Wanting to learn a bit more about it and discuss with people to know what they think about it
Not all coins should be privacy coins, not all flowers should be red. The diversity of the ecosystem is very important.
It’s good that you are interested in it. Described like this, it seems a bit strange. Who’s paying for the security of the network if there are no fees?
My first idea when I hear that is, someone is running the blockchain at his own cost, very few people can do this. So that part of the network will be quite centralized.
If that’s good or bad depends on what dance you want for yourself over there.
That’s right. There’s no direct incentive to help the blockchain, unless you hold some coins, and in that case you do have an interest in doing it
I would argue otherwise. This isn’t POW so costs are a lot lower, and people can ask for donations
Good point, as it’s not POW it’s much easier to do.
Do you have any stats on who is currently running the blockchain?
I don’t unfortunately. Haven’t really checked out Nano this far.
Since there’s no POW, the only thing required is running nodes. They have to vote though, so that’s an added load, but I don’t think it is high. Most nodes shouldn’t have to vote by default anyway because they do not have a big % of the voting power
It seems like there aren’t many public nodes currently
