#3The first thing I notice is quite remarkable, this is a cryptocurrency inspired by a science fiction novel??
It all comes full circle with Cryptocurrency first being described in Cryptonomicon.
Haven't had a chance to dig through all its claims.

#4Branding and name immediately reminded me of Cicada 3301: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada_3301
Haven't had a chance to fully evaluate yet but I do like that they're taking inspiration from scifi.

#5How does this relate to Richard Hendrick's work with middle-out compression as the basis for a new internet?

Really? That's crazy! I always thought that Stephenson had heard early ideas about cryptocurrencies and incorporated them into his book.
Are you saying the Neil Stephenson invented the concept of a cryptocurrency?

#7Not sure I see how this avoids an inevitable mining arms race (if it is indeed claiming to avoid such a thing). Even if miners are randomly drafted into random pools, the more miners you create, the more income. Seems like a very game-able system.

Sorry, I like SV but this is childish. It doesn't add anything to the discussion.

#9Overthinking it. The internet is great because it is as simple as a bunch of computers talking via socket connections. Do that but with encryption. Let everything else grow the way it wants to.
This sounds like a framework. Not a good idea. You'll eventually find something that the framework cannot support, but you've over thought everything, so adding that is next to impossible, so time for a rewrite.

It seems like you know the answer and you're being passive-aggressive about it. Are you thinking the OP doesn't know about David Chaum?
