Surprised I'm not seeing Cardano mentioned here.

It has a network of academics working on protocols and R&D and even one of the founders of the Haskell programming language.

IOHK is the company building cardano

PoS consensus protocol https://cardano.org/ouroboros/

They are also one of the few blockchains to use nixos in production

Cardano was founded by Ethereum's co-founder Charles Hoskinson and is a 3rd gen block chain aiming to dethrone Ethereum

Imagine being a HN reader and shilling Cardano. Do you know anything about technology?

Hmm, can you expand?

Cardano is obviously a shitcoin. This should be immediately obvious to anyone in tech

It's #4 / #5 by market cap, how is it shitcoin? Please elaborate.

It's about to take over ethereum's market share once smart contracts are released later this or next month.

It's built from scratch with some strong academics in the CS field working on R&D.

Could you give a reason for why you think, especially in a technology context, it is a shitcoin?

I'm new to this space, but reading about it it seems quite impressive to me. So enlighten me.
