Can you provide more detail because from the article this doesn't seem so impressive. > Vault reduced the bandwidth for joining its network by 99 percent compared to Bitcoin and 90 percent compared to Ethereum, which is considered one of today’s most efficient cryptocurrencies 1) Since when are these considered efficient? I don't think anybody in the know would say this. They're the most popular, but no means the most efficient. Bitcoin is 250GB, so 90% of that is still 25GB to join the network, which is still ahhh enormous amount. And what's the baseline for comparison here? Were all of bitcoin's transactions replayed on an Algorand test network for this comparison? Or is this a metric from some test usage? If the latter then that's a huge issue since it grows in size. 2) On top of that you're saying it could accrue a terabyte a month in data. What type of usage is this under? Is that on current bitcoin transaction levels? 2017 transaction levels? A steady state tx/s? Is a backup of this data needed or is it throwaway and summarized in the latest blocks? If it's still needed then that's a decentralization issue because not many people will be maintaining full nodes. 3) What type of specs are affected by these changes? Can you still perform atomic swaps? That's a pretty standard requirement nowadays and would hinder the Blocknet and exchange interiperability.
