Why are there no incentives to mine? It seems the same as bitcoin, in that it's PoW and you get fees + block subsidy. Why is zk not a good thing? I agree that they are almost certainly too late from an adoption point of view.

Because of it's valuation. You need to sell everything to cover your bills.
I don't want to dive into zk thing because it will endup in a sort of flame war. Take it as my peraonal opinion.
That's a great point, though less a technical criticism than a comment on the path dependence of how bitcoin has already won. Do you have a link to the zk stuff I can read?
Not the gratest one but the only one from my bookmarks which still works:
Thanks, I'll give it a read
Acutally there's probably nothing new to you. As I remember it led me to more research because of the trust requirements for zkp. I know how it sounds 🤪
I'm not intimately familiar with zkps, but I am intimately familiar with the idea that all technology has trade-offs. I can totallly believe there are trust requirements involved 😅
