One way to earn Koin at the moment is by producing blocks (or joining a burn pool if you don't want to run the equipment yourself). You burn Koin for VHP which you produce blocks with. Unlike Hive, Koinos

Hey @ackza - sorry for the late reply, I did not get a notification for whatever reason. To answer your question, no there are not any social media apps on Koinos and I don't know of anyone who's developing

Indeed, burn pools are cool and have good future use cases (like DAO funding, launchpads, etc). I will say though that if you can run your own node, you should! But burn pools are great for convenience

It's also possible that someone or someone(s) on the team self-funded them. We're in the cryptocurrency industry after all. I have no idea though and probably shouldn't speculate. They can speak for themselves

Sure no problem. I guess it's time for me to be more active on Hive again. It's honestly pretty cool that years later here I am using something that I helped build (Steem/Hive) to talk about Koinos. Some

It's currently only listed at MEXC yes. Due to the nature of exchange listings, teams have to sign NDA's that don't allow them to discuss these listings prior to them happening. We simply won't know until

Mining competition certainly got steep quickly, but, it appears that most miners sold their mined stake really early on via Uniswap for pennies (as it was an ERC-20). The majority of holders who were able

I think the short answer is that it was not funded. The long answer is that they probably did it "for free" for company equity as the assumption is that Koinos Group would one day be a valuable

Yep, np!

Nice post. I think most of what you said here is accurate and I think I can fit my reply in the comment box this time lol. I'm unsure if I'd agree with calling it a timelock token as Koin is actually removed

It's currently available on MEXC. That's the only exchange it's listed on so far, but, I'm sure there will be more coming (it's only been live on main net for 3 months). There have been rumors about a

There are some solutions in the form of guest accounts or lite accounts which would be a quite robust layer 2 solutions and could scale infinitely. They cant come fast enough. Yes for sure that sounds

Nah I think it's never too late to join any party that has a future. Welcome to both of them.

I cant wait for an Uniswap-style thing. Wow not sure how I forgot that. That's KoinDX - it's coming soon to main net but you can test it on testnet now.

Wrote a response about Sybil attacks on my post: tl;dr it's very similar to Bitcoin

The one thing I'd add to @andrachy's answer here is that in reference to the Sybil attack it's basically the same as on Bitcoin. You have to actually produce blocks in order to have governance votes. 1

Awesome. Glad to hear I got it right. I didn't want to put words in Koinos Group's mouth but I tried to write this as if I was justifying it for myself since I also lived through all of the ups-and-downs

Awesome. Thanks for reading. Sounds like we're basically in agreement then. I think most users and developers on Koinos are in agreement too, eventually (at very high marketcaps) the "free to use"

Comment posts are always hilarious, eh? Indeed. True Hive style LOL

It's pretty brand new, but, the community is pretty active developing various things now that it actually exists. One is BurnKoin which is essentially a decentralized mining pool where people can participate
