  • Dovey Wan on Algorand Founding Partner at Primitive Ventures

    Algorand now offers a 85% refund in 3 weeks for the first auction if you give up the 90% strike 1 year, and canceled the planned following auctions.

    If distribution itself can be so dramatic and dubious, I have little confidence in all other aspects, not even mention code is law.

    Algorand is so bad....no asynchronous safety, a more than half honest assumption, no incentive mechanism design...

  • Kyle Samani on Algorand Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital

    Using a novel consensus algorithm called threshold relay, Dfinity and Algorand aim to offer DBP, safety, more scalability than Ethereum within a single shard (though far less than the scalability offered by DPoS), and fast TTF. If threshold relay works in practice as well it has in test environments, we can expect to see Dfinity and Alogrand shard their chains and leverage the fast TTF and low latency to provide for efficient cross-shard communications.

    Algo is an IQ test and top-buyers thinking this would be a listing-pump failed it in flying colors.

  • Albert Wenger on Algorand Managing Partner at Union Square Ventures

    Today marks a big milestone for the Algorand Core Team and Algorand Foundation. They conducted the first on-chain Algorand auction and it came off without a hitch....

    The auctions themselves are meaningful in several ways. They show off a capability that is built natively into the Algorand blockchain. This capability will be useful for all sorts of auctions, not just of Algos but of other items. This is a novel way of combining price discovery with ongoing funding for the development of Algorand

  • Spencer Noon on Algorand Investor at DTC

    When evaluating staking yields, investors need to be aware of how supply inflation offsets the advertised yield.

    I've pulled Real Yields from several cryptoassets, and the results are surprising:

    Algorand +15.9%
    Cosmos +2.1%
    Tezos +1.9%
    Dash -1.1%
    Decred -6.0%
