Imagine if we need to replace USD with BTC in the future but BTC is all but decentralized and needs lightning or a mess of channels just for a simple transaction. BTC will colapse before anything else just by how bad it works. You guys need to learn how XCH work and copy it.

The key factors of why Bitcoin mining centralizes is exactly where #Chia shines.
1. Use of widely available commodity hardware with mature supply chains (storage).
2. Low energy costs to run mostly idle hard drives, and in the future even lower costs to power SSDs.
3. 100K+ full node farmers show that it can be run out of a home.
4. Inverse economies of scale for larger operations that do need server locations and hardware. It favors smaller home farmers using existing hardware and storage.
Because it was designed to tend towards decentralization, it has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 102, highest of all blockchains.

#PoW vs #PoST
Proof of Space and Time (PoST) is a consensus mechanism that has been proposed as an alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) in blockchain networks. While both PoST and PoW aim to secure the network and validate transactions, there are several reasons why some argue that PoST is a better alternative:
Energy Efficiency: One of the main criticisms of PoW is its high energy consumption. PoW relies on miners solving complex mathematical puzzles, which requires substantial computational power and electricity. In contrast, PoST utilizes unused hard drive space rather than computational power, making it much more energy-efficient.
Decentralization: PoW tends to concentrate mining power in the hands of those who can afford expensive mining equipment and access to cheap electricity. This concentration can lead to centralization risks and potential vulnerabilities. PoST, on the other hand, is more accessible to a broader range of participants, as it primarily relies on storage space, which is more widely available. This promotes a more decentralized network.
Lower Barrier to Entry: PoW mining often requires specialized hardware, such as ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), which can be expensive and out of reach for many individuals. PoST, in contrast, can be performed using standard computer hardware and storage devices, reducing the barrier to entry for participation in the network.
Security: PoST provides a high level of security against certain attacks, such as 51% attacks. In a 51% attack, an attacker controls a majority of the network's mining power, allowing them to manipulate transactions and potentially double-spend coins. Since PoST relies on the allocation of storage space rather than computational power, the cost of amassing a majority of the network's resources becomes prohibitively high, making such attacks economically infeasible.
Environmental Impact: As mentioned earlier, PoW's energy consumption is a significant concern, particularly due to its reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation in some regions. By shifting to PoST, which requires significantly less energy, blockchain networks can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
It's worth noting that both PoW and PoST have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of consensus mechanism depends on the specific requirements and goals of a blockchain network. However, PoST addresses some of the key limitations of PoW, particularly in terms of energy efficiency, decentralization, and security.

The zap system in nostr should be a NIP that allowed every sector of society to adopt it on its way independently from the coin thats used, ofc with limitations but not like the current system that forces everyone to use one coin and ostracize everyone else, god forbid someone has the "wrong" opinion and for some reason supports other coin.

It's like that movie scene where Iron Man was giving all it had beating Thanos for a single tiny drop of blood. But in this case is maxis making zaps, hosting a bunch of nonsense, opening channels, and complaining of being difficult to self custody. Using a #Blockchain that requires huge amounts of energy for no good reason. Calling #Bitcoin the most decentralized blockchain. While using #Chia self custody is default, and anyone can securely and privately send coins anywhere with a simple click in a official client (PC/Phone/Mac) with a Blockchain on its way to be 10x the node count of Bitcoin while wasting a fraction of the energy. Like Thanos said, all that Bitcoin sweat for a single tiny tiny zap 🤣 Amazing what a 10+ year old coin wasn't able to accomplish.

In #ssb protocol. "Relays" are optional. They call them Rooms or Pubs, not sure. But the important part is that by default your "notes" stay in your device, not someone else computer aka "relays".
