1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][COMB] Haircomb - Quantum proof, anonymity and more on: August 07, 2021, 11:47:08 PM
Forgive me if some of this stuff has been explained or if I'm wrong, but I feel like there's not enough simplified information about what Haircomb does or why it'd be valuable, at least for people who aren't very experienced with these things. If I understand claiming, you send a specific amount to your own generated BTC address, but the transaction also needs to be at the front of a BTC block in order to successfully claim. So that'd mean right now we can claim with the highest transaction fee, although some day miners can just put their own transaction at the front of a block to claim it themselves since they organize the blocks. Is that correct? That seems like it could help a ton with mining incentive, but what about the use of COMB itself? It's private, but at what cost? COMB holders basically each have their own piece of the ledger and each need to have synced BitcoinCore running in order to use COMB. That doesn't seem ideal when the core is ~400GB. Even at a smaller size, it's not as easy to use as other cryptocurrencies. Is it possible for that to change at some point or is that just how it is since we'd each own our transaction data? Is there a way for it to be easier to use in the future? Then there's liquidity stacks. They seem really interesting - a transaction with infinite outputs could help a ton with scaling in certain scenarios, but starting that first liquidity stack still requires BTC transactions and can't scale beyond BTC's capabilities. Is there any way the initial input could scale better? There's also deciders/decider's purse that I see, I'm not sure how that correlates with any of this. Do I understand COMB for the most part? I'd like to know where I'm wrong and what could fix the problems I think I see. This token is very interesting, but it's hard to understand.
