This radical consensus mechanism has led to multiple hostile parties go into a pseudo economic war with each other. These parties are fairly centralized, miners, developers, and business interests, with the users largely standing on the sid

So imagine an ICO company that has a premine. You know the address of all their funds that they raised, and you know all the funds that are held through their premine. You can easily track the money to make sure nothing fishy is going on. T

As someone working on cryptocurrency wallets its a much more difficult task than you think. First you'd have to be compatible with multiple chains, then you have to support multiple contracts on those multiple chains. Then theres token
