Well, for what its worth, I was still able to solo mine 544 coins at launch with a measly 1.2 mash. Yes there were a lot of orphans, but things seemed to work themselves out.
I honestly don't think the orphan rate is that critical of a flaw when you gain INSTANT TRANSACTIONS.
Let's join the 21st century people, everyone expects payment to be instantaneous in this day and age.
If you want instant, then decentralized is not the solution.
Negative. We can have our cake and eat it too. Worldcoin has proven this.
If the network stays healthy, we are good to go. It hasn't even been a week since launch!
