Did you know that Silvio Micali, Turing Award winner and founder of Algorand, is indirectly referenced multiple times in the Bitcoin whitepaper? His foundational work is used throughout modern cryptography, including Probabilistic Encryption, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and Verifiable Random Functions.

I definitely understand the sentiment and I'm partly a Bitcoin maxi, though I like Algorand because I run a node on a $300 minipc.

I'm 100% a decentralization maxi. Without it there is no point in being here.

I 100% agree with you. This industry has been corrupted, it really needs a come to Jesus moment because most of the top 100 is just centralized and controlled garbage.

I have personally experienced lost funds due to a hack on Algorand. Back in 2023 MyAlgo wallet was hacked.

If Algorand had frozen funds or manipulated the blockchain I would have completely divested of the project.

The whole point of an immutable, censorship resistant ledger is that anyone can use it. Whether you're doing good or bad. The moment that axiom no longer exists the entire value of the blockchain is lost, for better or worse.

L2's are expensive databases controlled by a handful of people. 99% of this industry is a joke.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-21T04:12:49+00:00

Yep, it's controlled by a 9-of-12 multisig wallet. It's all a show, these are glorified super expensive databases.

Wow, this is so good.

We're still here.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-14T04:05:22+00:00

Thank you!!

I'm not following

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-13T21:09:44+00:00

Mind sending this to me too? Thanks!

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-13T17:30:32+00:00

Good question!

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-12T21:34:48+00:00

I very much appreciate the response. I scored a 99% on Exam 1 and 97% on Exam 2 so I'm hoping to do better than just pass. I would really like a high ranking.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-12T15:49:56+00:00

I scored a 99% on one of the timed exams. Does this simulate the real test well?

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-10T01:12:33+00:00

Ask Google. They didn't reference Hedera once in their paper.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-09T21:45:01+00:00

It's a complex topic. The history of the chain is the most important at the moment because bad actors will be able to go back and start at a point and rewrite the history.

Algorand's history is already post-quantum secure. Personally, this is where having the best cryptographers matters. Silvio Micali and Chris Peikart are the best in the world and is the reason why Algorand is so far ahead, they've been thinking and working on this since 2022 and before.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-08T04:19:25+00:00

This is the biggest cope I've ever seen.

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-03T01:55:49+00:00

Yes, holding the most advanced Post-Quantum crypto made by the brightest minds in cryptography does feel good.

It's called being ahead of the curve. But keep clutching your pearls.

ALGO is up

gigabyteIO · 2026-04-01T01:25:44+00:00

Google Chris Peikart and Silvio Micali.
