Speed up a lot! less then 10hours to go, and gets faster.
Where does the satoshi go when attempting to claim? is this satoshi going to forever be locked/lost? (interesting if this decreasing circulating btc)
Is this coin stored in tx data on the first layer? so its not a side chain or 2nd layer, its a coin that lives on first layer btc chain in the tx data.
By running this edited qt client, is this also essentially running a full node for btc?
Looking forward to faucets to help distribute this.
Yes, claim satoshis are provably burned. When someone is confirming payment and pays to those 21 addresses those coins sent there are also provably burned.
Yes tx data (outputs) is where the commitments are anchored in the host blockchain. Haircomb can be deployed atop any blockchain or consensus system that reaches consensus about a set of values.
Yeah haircomb users are running btc full nodes and they are indistinguishable from actual btc users. Contrast this with e.g. monero where there is a separate network that can be monitored and / or traced.
