check IOTA if you want to learn (if you have not) about DAG structure that potentially solves decentralized scalability. GOSSIP protocol

I looked into this and IOTA requires special blessed "Coordinator" nodes, so it's not really decentralized.
i want to elucidate my downvoters that I was not shilling the project. I was just pointing towards a network structure that you guys might find interesting given the problems we were discussing. I was not expecting to get some kind of reddit r/cryptocurrency style backlash. what you said is indeed true chromaton, but is also already solved and on its way to removing it this year. the theoretical solution to that was found in 2019 in one of their researchers conventions
Fair enough. But I don't really buy anyone saying it's "on its way", as I've heard that one before. You can see a lot of "on its way" in this thread as well.
