I heard about bitcoin first right here on HN, and I thought today would be a good day to return the favor. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Sashimi. Any details on PoW/PoS/PoSSD/DAG? tokenomics? Is there a smart contract system? A secondary layer? Is it rug pull proof? Did you premine? 51% attack? Can I mine this on my Atari ST? You going to list on Sushiswap first? Should I buy this or SafeMoon? Or do a balanced portfolio to spread risk? Buy or mine? Can I buy you a Pizza or two for 10000 of these? And do you have a faucet? What's the discord?

Mining right now, finally found a good use for WSL2 other than running docker desktop. Note that the instructions for WSL2 were a bit different (I'm running debian) - had to install python3 and python3-pip packages but after that is was smooth sailing. I am currently the proud owner of 0.00 skepticoin and that makes me feel good.

How many skeptis for 1 pizza?

Pizza I'm not sure but a bag of tulip bulbs was bought for 10,000:

0 Skepticoin = 0 bitcoin!

We haven't properly covered the more advanced layers of bullshit yet but we're getting there:

https://github.com/skepticoin/skepticoin/blob/master/docs/pa... for details on the parameters

Atari: not sure but if it supports Python you're good (until target hash rates ruse even further)

Pizza: see elsewhere in this thread

Issue #1 on github is for begging ("faucet")

There's a subreddit rather than a discord for now... we like to be open about what this particular pump and dump is about
