im pretty much aware about differences, thats why i can't figure out how come pos would be better than pow. and yes, theres nothing here to do besides FUD since this is clearly scam so far (i mean where you saw less than 100 commits on ACTIVE project ahah). and reviewing v2 - pretty much centralized as any other shitcoin https://github.com/genterium-project/gentarium-2.0/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp im pretty sure this one will not see any development as well https://github.com/genterium-project/gentarium-2.0/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L126

main reason is just because zerocoin proto is dead, so you have two options - drop it, or fix it Smiley)) doubt the team is capable to do the second option. and pretty sure they are not capable to get rid of the code completely. so yea, what else you gonna do here?)) if you think my FUD is empty - check my post history on the forum and see the rate yourself.

wake up devs!!! its 2019!!! Grin Grin Grin Cheesy!!!!! https://github.com/genterium-project/gentarium-2.0/blob/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml#L5

Gentarium is not aimed to fix the zerocoin protocol or to bring any disrupting code in the space, it is primarily focused on a service on their platform which it has been providing with success so far. I am pretty confident that they can take necessary steps to keep their blockchain healthy whenever its necessary and can follow suits accordingly.

Apart from security issues, I am a big fan of PoW because I believe that it gives an intrinsic value to the coin but apparently most PoW chains will switch to PoS over time anyway. Speaking about PoW, there are many other projects which primarily focus on PoW and technical advancement of blockchain, if you are a PoW enthusiast perhaps you can check out those. But if you were aware about what Genterium focuses on, you would know that GTM is pretty successful implementing that.

To me it is very nice to see the GTM started with a PoW and continued it for a while before switching to PoS now.
