Is #kaspa really decentralized if mass adoption depends on multi-petabyte archival nodes? #blockchain #trilemma
Discussion
security in kaspa does not rely on full blockchain validation. its based on the fact that the network cannot lie for 3 days from previous pruning point.
That’s the same for big-block bitcoin forks—modest hardware can still run a pruned node. I guess Kaspa’s main advantage is in bandwidth usage, right? Due to mining blocks in parallel.
Every. other. coin. has chosen speed over decentralization, kaspa is no different. You can't escape the trilemma, and if somebody does, Bitcoin can just take that fix and incorporate it into Bitcoin.
