“we won’t have a premine, but will sell a closed-source, more efficient mining client to entities of our choice, don’t call us”
FWIW I am not a party to any privileged information and I was aware… years ago?.. that Zorp was going to be developing proprietary proving software?
The whole point of Zorp as a corporate entity is to commoditize the cost of nock ZKPs and drive it down so that humanity can have verifiable civilizational infrastructure. Nockchain is just one swag (a big one to be sure) at that mission.
Now, I don’t have a read on the “don’t call us” portion of that statement, but would be curious to hear from @logan how much they actually don’t want serious people to be able to participate in driving down the cost of producing nock ZKPs, as I suspect that is a inference that he might be able to clarify.
