Maybe take a look at Kaspa. It is a refreshing project that brings something new to the table.
I have been hearing about kaspa as the choice of many in terms of mining altcoins.
If you have some time, check it out and read the research papers that they are using for white papers. Pretty cool stuff that they are doing right now.
I'll do that and that's why I've read some people talking about it, actually not just some but many and that's not just from the forum but also in different social platforms.
You might want to split it up a bit and go with 2/3 ADA and 1/3 XRP. ADA is an actual crypto project; Ripple is very centralized, they might as well be helping issue CBDC's!
Despite XRP being centralized, can't stop people from investing on it especially these days that it has won against the lawsuit that was filed against them by SEC.
