It's not hard to imagine that everyone else that has attempted to solve
the Nothing @ Stake problem, has gotten so caught up in discussions about it
and possible ways to fix it. In the end, it was that prolonged  period of several years
with no solution, that made it even more difficult to solve.
That isn't meant to take anything away from Verus or from Mike Toutonghi.
Solving a problem that nobody else could, speaks for itself.And it's
even more impressive because he hasn't been involved in cryptocurrency
for a year yet.
So congratulations to Mike Toutonghi & to Verus Coin
