Kaspa isn’t even a blockchain, man. You’re clearly lost.
Discussion
I do not care if it is a blockchain or whatever technobabble you claim it is.
It is very likely an affinity scam but regardless of whatever the fuck it is I still have no interest until you can answer the two questions I have repeatedly ask you but you refuse to acknowledge
Why do I personally need Kaspa and why should I buy it instead of bitcoin?
If you don't care, then why are you even asking?
Because you accuse me of not knowing what I am talking about when I call out your shitcoin scam.
Does your mother know you are taking advantage of people that don’t know any better to enrich yourself?
Meanwhile you continue to refuse answering the two most basic questions that would get me to even consider reading anything else about Kaspa
I'm getting notifications for this thread.
maybe Bill should answer Meyers questions
and maybe Meyer shouldn't automatically accuse anyone interested in something Not Bitcoin of being a scammer
i am also getting notifs 😹
One thing to be interested or curious about something. I have zero problem with people being interested in things
Completely different story when you are sitting on nostr and replying to threads shilling a shitcoin scam and then accusing me of being a “toxic” maxi because I have no interest in said scam
Meanwhile he can’t answer the two most basic questions because there is no valid reason anyone needs Kaspa or should buy Kaspa instead of bitcoin 😂
i've designed a nostr-based DNS (and TLS) replacement and it requires some kind of consensus to function, it uses an explicit trust graph created by the name server nodes (i'm calling it FIND, Free Internet Name Daemon) to evaluate name registration/transfer proposals and store their evaluation, anything that falls under 50% is not stored by a node. this means that the consistency is not strong, but weak, but it is weak eventual consistency, and instead of using a monetary value incentive by being a currency, it provides a directory of the names for anyone who hosts a replica to use in their apps, and secondly, the names themselves become an ad-hoc non-fungible asset (so for which reason there is a number of measures to stop perma-registering names, and other spam mitigation methods).
idk how Kaspa can be not a blockchain, unless you are splitting hairs by distinguishing a blockchain from a tangle or a DAG type structure. they are still fundamentally the same thing, blocks of data that have back-references that build a DAG. chains just aim to grow one branch where tangles can vary from one to ten or more concurrent and interlinked chains. they still need some kind of spam limit mechanism to control how many tokens and transactions are processed and all that, and are based on a token ledger.
what i have designed is not a token ledger it's a registry for unique symbols and it doesn't need that economic basis to justify its existence. it's useful in itself as a directory cache, and useful for people in that these names can help increase the appeal of an offering. it's not just a collectable, and it's not fungible, it is an actually useful thing "this name was registered by this npub".
many people even who are long time fans of bitcoin don't know that bitcoin often is two or 3 competing chains. the branches just don't get the blocks so they get left behind.
Kaspa does not produce orphan blocks as you’ve detailed in Bitcoin’s competing chains.
It is not splitting hairs. It’s a different entity.
This is wrong. They are not fundamentally the same thing. There are no orphan blocks in Kaspa. This is a change in fundamentals.
so:
it has blocks
the blocks can be orphaned, which means they must be a chain
it's a blockchain.
it's a blockchain payment ledger, to be exact.
there is other kinds of data that are a common than money also. voting, registries (deeds are a type of NFT). the protocol doesn't have to have a payment ledger. the security budget is much lower. the service itself is a utility not just to the network as an additional replica but also to the user because they always have a map of everything locally. point of sales ledgers also have a utility for this, in fact the nostr marketplace protocols are exactly this - public (but encrypted) point of sale ledgers, product listings and inventory. again, these are types of data with an intrinsic value to a lot of participants so bolting on a token to them is just going to poison them into becoming a way to fleece retail, as usual.
that's why we don't need another global public ledger. there already is one. there is multiple protocols for aggregating transactions with low trust requirement, if 10 minutes clearance time isn't fast enough for your payment requirements.
we do, however need alternatives to:
BIND
OAUTH
DNS
TLS
and these all have intrinsic utility, and partly why despite being vulnerable to corruption these systems have remained mostly just. but not perfect, and always a splade of damoclese hanging above you when the Man decides to rug you.
No sir. Blocks are not orphaned and are not constructed in a chain, but a graph. It is not a chain.
Guy just schooled you and you are still arguing semantics lol
Keep up the scamming scumbag. Karma is a bitch
and you're advertising you own ignorant as well
a DAG is not a blockchain and it isn't "splitting hairs" to say its a completely different data structure with completely different tradeoffs in this application
I quit paying attention to him. He’s not a serious individual.
