Even if it were technologically superior in some ways, the fact that it's made and run by a "Q"-like LARPer/fraudster figure makes it dead on arrival.

  you didn't address `"Q"-like LARPer/fraudster figure`

    The information is out there for people to make up their own mind. But if you are confident that CSW is larping as Satoshi, let's have some fun and make it a bet.

      Thank you because I honestly had no idea what that was referring to and you gave it a lot of colour

      Oh man, I'd love to use a betting platform for that if I could. I'd literally bet the vast majority of my net worth in a heartbeat. Also >The information is out there for people to make up their own mind. if this is intended to counter claims of being part of a QAnon-like cult...

  When I said "dead on arrival", I meant in my mind it was dead on arrival as something to be considered or humored. I don't think it should be touched with a 50 km pole. In practice, I acknowledge it's not dead in terms of adoption. (Though adoption is still minuscule compared to Bitcoin or Ethereum.) Similarly, "Q Clearance Patriot"'s predictive ability and insight was dead on arrival in my mind, even if in practice it clearly isn't in the minds of many. So I really meant "should-be-dead on arrival". Again, it may very well be true that it has legitimate technical merit. But that's orthogonal to the issue of its creator being a notorious, cult-leader-like serial fraudster. That doesn't mean the protocol specification should necessarily be discarded, but it definitely means that particular network and project should be.
