The forks were due to the short 60 second block timing, and that the node was communicating with every other node in that minute. This worked well with 50 nodes on testnet, but did not work when scaled up. The Proof of Time algo was a great idea, to reward loyal forgers, but it is a bottleneck at present.

OMG!

They really thought that such simple algo will work on network with >1000 nodes? :doublefacepalm: Roll Eyes

Competence of devs is hilarious Cry

@ starik69
As they stated they didn't prepare for different internet connections and RAMS going into this and couldn't test on larger networks to ensure it worked. (The way I understood it, not too techsavvy.)

If you remember the early days of Bitcoin read this quote by Satoshi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1735.msg26999#msg26999
Then you can think about what new code really means, and what rapidly expanding network means also. It is unrealistic to not expect any bugs.
And if you want to check out other coins which offer "new" algos but in reality they don't really experiment with anything outside the box then feel free.
Bottom line is I'm not a traderpro or label myself as an investor but I've seen the characteristics of succesful ones.

I'm not looking to pick a fight here but you should be taking a step back and start to evaluate if your expectations are really in this world or Narnia.
Also when calling out the developers here it is ironic that you indirectly also call Satoshi, the creator of the very forum you're writing on and the BTC you claim to support - incompetent. Grin
