No proper explorer

There is an explorer (http://katnip.kaspanet.org) it might need a lot more work but there is nothing "improper" about it.

Cant see genesisblock,1st block,2nd block

Had you read the thread you would have known that we implement block pruning, which means that there is no genesis block. The oldest stored block is three days old. Alongside we keep the UTXO set of that block and a cryptographic proof that this is indeed the UTXO set of a chain of that weight. This proof is an adaptation of the techniques developed here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/623.pdf

Whale wallets, rich lists.

Like in most coins, any person can derive virtually infinitely many public keys for their wallet, and it is infeasible to tell whether two addresses belong to the same wallet. Therefore, "whale wallets" and "rich lists" are garbage information and are useless to track.

No pools => miner needs to connect to own .exe wallet

Due to the high block rate, home GPU and even CPU miners can still mine and expect their fair share. Even at three times the current hash rate, a single average home CPU can mine a block every three days or so, which means that if they mine for just a few weeks they will almost surely get their expected share without having to join a pool (for example, if Bitcoin had the same hash rate, then the same user would have to wait about 5 years before they see their first block, which means they would have to mine for decades to get close to their expected share). The fact that solo mining is still profitable in increasing hash rates is a feature, not a bug. When we reach a hash rate where pools make sense, they will be created by the community. If anything, the lack of pools indicates that the coin spread is more egalitarian. Pooling is a necessity which rises when the expected time for a single block for the average user becomes huge. After we increase the block rate to 100 bps, even if we ever reach Bitcoin magnitude of hash rate (which we won't even in the fantasy script where we become as popular as Bitcoin, as our hash is much heavier), very small pools would still be profitable.

Miner is significantly worse to Wildrig heavyhash, very unoptimized

GPU miner is community driven, currently we don't have reason to suspect covert optimized miner. If in the future we will suspect differently we might try to help the community improve their miner. None of us is a GPU developer, and we have no reason to believe we can optimize the miner better than the community.

Website outdated, no mention of heavyhash or GPU miner links, also probably created in 5min with word

I don't use Word, I use vscode. The website is ugly, yes, thanks for the valuable input. I updated it. It is still ugly but now it include links to both HH and GPU miner. At least one of your comments wasn't useless.

No plan to market/advertise/join exchanges in near future

Dont know what you guys see in this. I just see dev silent mine until they get a big bag, then they will join exchange and network will get rekt by FPGAs long before Optic asics, since FPGA miners already exists for Heavyhash.

No plan to market/advertise/join exchanges in near future

We prioritize stabilizing the node, stress testing and increasing the block rate over listing and PR. It makes sense to us that we get a firm grip of the capabilities of our coin before making extravagant claims or encouraging people to sink their money into it. We know that it is very common in the crypto world to make baseless claims and worrying about partially covering them later, but we have a different approach. That being said, any community driven PR efforts are welcome.

If you are going to make baseless accusations, at least go with accusations that make sense. If we just wanted to fill our bag and pump the coin in exchanges we would not have chosen a fair launch model. We'd premine the shit out of the coin and then list it ASAP. If you see our careful conduct as an attempt to make a quick buck, then your conclusion was probably predetermined.
