why the hate for SQLite?

I don’t think it matters

You could deploy a container and not know what DB is used

Coding also, and computer science

I don’t like PoW so meh

hijack resistance

How? Afaik BTC and BCH now have different blockchains so BCH doesn’t have the most miners

Too many fanboys of XMR and BCH

Cringe, y’all sound like you’re coping

You love the word "retard", don’t you?

with pos, bad actors actively punish themselves: they have a high risk of being punished and if the chain is attacked, the crypto value will fall and they’ll lose big

It is highly centraliseable according to players with unlimited funds.

PoW as well

It also gives the rich an advantage over the poor.

You get a % of what you staked. Sounds pretty fair to me. As time goes on it gets harder to catch them, sure, but it’s the same everywhere and we have a growing economy anyways. If everyone can stake, it makes it fairer. PoW suffers from the same thing, but indirectly: 2 people in the same location will have the same costs to mine, but the one who can afford 50 miners will gain 50x the amount of the other person, and will buy more more new miners

I believe if XMR requires a second layer, then it’s not well designed by default. I would be in favor of ditching PoW. It’s much cheaper to abuse it than PoS and is an environmental disaster

Why is PoS not an option for the base blockchain? Reorgs happen because a large portion of the hashrate is controlled by a single entity. Using a second layer is a bandaid fix for the current problem

It will still be relatively niche, people don't want to seed for hours and also don't want to pay

That's love

I thought you wanted videos to only be hosted through peers, without any server storing them, just like torrents

I said that would mean most videos would die
