I don't like Christmas pudding. There will be just three of us for Christmas Day and the others will be eating pudding
It's not as if there are Percy Pig sausage rolls.
The AMA ran today from 13:00 - 14:20 UTC, with Colin and Andy. I've copied over some of their responses that I found give me better insight into Nano. Their responses are in italics. Responses to different questions are separated by double spaces. Colin's responses are listed first, followed by Andy's. Sorry I couldn't copy over the questions as well. I've added my comments in places.
From Colin:
PoW coins have done a good marketing that the energy expenditure makes your coins more secure but it’s really unnecessory. PoW coins need to continue expending work because if they stop, their security parameter erodes.
Nano has no such problem, once an election for a transaction is complete, it’s confirmed. If it sits there it stays confirmed and it doesn’t need any extra effort. Wow, put that way, Bitcoin seems unsustainable in the long term when there is an alternative like Nano.
Yes the circulating supply is forever like this. The reason it can’t change is because nano transactions can only send your current balance or less to someone else, this means new coins can never be injected in to the system. Interesting design reason new Nano can't be minted.
Volatility is a focus with all cryptocurrencies and it comes from low volume, it’s not intrinsic to cryptocurrency itself. To cure low volume our focus is integrating it in to parts of the economy where it solves a problem, rather than just emulating credit cards etc.
Not having fees in the network puts us in a very good position for buying beer, for example. Typically credit card providers will charge 2-5% for a purchase, maybe even more, and it tight margin businesses that make 2-5% profit anyway, this is huge. A lot of Reddit discussion on crypto adoption considers only user experience and overlooks benefits to merchants.
Nano is purpose built to be the fastest and most decentralized currency around. Our transactions settle in less than 1 second and it’s all done on a network with no fees, and a tiny environmental footprint
Decentralization is an essential focus for us, many other cryptocurrencies can get fast or low cost, but they can’t also maintain decentralization which I think we do very well.
*Well the sustainability comes from 2 main parts. We have a laser sharp focus on being the most efficient currency. This means our development stays focused and eventually the amount of things going in to the code base will trend downward; once we’ve achieved the goal we just h

Dom and Colin do a regular Survivor podcast where they recap the latest episodes similar to RHAP. I know their big fans of Adam and I know Adam’s got a lot of crap for his game moves this past episode, but it was pretty irritating listening to them justify all of Adam’s questionable decisions. I understand wanting to analyze a players thought process when they make certain moves, but I felt as though their analysis was going into the realm of making excuses for Adam.
Essentially they interpreted the moves Adam was making as anticipating a swap and wanting to be on good terms with everyone. That’s totally fine, the frustrating aspect of their analysis was when they began to blame Boston Rob for not listening to Adam. They kept saying Adam was totally right and it was Rob’s inflexibility that put both of them in a bad spot, which isn’t a fair analysis of the situation. Adam got caught trying to keep himself totally secure from blindsiding Parv. People share information with the wrong people all the time and get rightfully criticized for it. I think it’s really unfair for them to say well Adam was right and if Rob would’ve just listen to Adam than everything would’ve been fine.
This is why I really respect Rob C’s analysis more so than other Survivor podcasters mainly because he at least tries to be objective. Even when Stephen was playing and making a ton of weird decisions in Cambodia Rob talked about it and questioned Stephen’s decision making.
Again, I’m not trying bash Adam I just don’t know why it’s so difficult to just admit when players screw up.
