Zano Forum

@Yep balance visibility was the main point I took away, sorry if I failed to grok the larger issue of encryption integrity.

I tend to believe the "quantum computing threat" is more fearmongering than actual reality, and I live accordingly, especially since I can't do much or anything about it personally.

I started out in crypto 13 years ago on a PoS project (BitShares & its' successors) and I came to realize the inherent flaw of PoS systems as a tool to provide financial freedom. "He who owns the gold makes the rules" is an ancient maxim that applies. PoS based consensus is corruptible by external inputs (mainstream finance) from the very institutions and forces that Satoshi Nakamoto invented blockchain tech to oppose.

If the roadmap or platform devs & their agenda are provably kept separate from stake levels that would be important for PoS to work, but what good is staking then? If only as a compounding style investment that sounds good but is it likely?

Balance privacy isn't the only concern for PoS, it is secondary to the issue of consensus.

PoS allows anyone with capital to purchase a large stake and this influence and eventually control the platform. This happens over time, usually slowly. Any mainstream financial institution or interested party can buy Zano and thus become a dominate stake holder, which is contrary to the privacy and freedom goals of what Satoshi Nakamoto invented blockchain tech for in the first place.

I'm not convinced yet that this forum site is legit. Seeing same user account (kwibs) from zanobay.

Just trying to get confidence and be assured of legit site to discuss my zanobay transaction failure (funds sent & received, but no email after).

Proof of Stake sucks big time! It means anyone, including mainstream / institutional investors can buy up zano and manipulate consensus. Worse news I've heard about this platform.

I may have just been scammed by this but finding it difficult to discuss it anywhere. Zanobay.com doesn't provide a support link or offer specifics on a transaction, such as the peer or other party providing the gift card. I have an order #, transfer showed complete but I got no email to tell me how to obtain the gift code.

I should know better. I have used trucador in the past but every time I had to report an issue before the gift card was issued, plus it wasn't the easiest / smoothest process to use so I searched for alternatives and zanobay (which I thought was zanopay, as in cake wallet's "cakepay".

Usually I send a small about first but I didn't in this case and it may have cost me 1.3 grand.
