<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> "Cao et al. [14] pushed the boundary as they attempt to infer Monero's topology, size, node distribution, and node connectivity and found that it is highly centralised."

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> jeez, you have 4 people modding their monerod to ridiculous peer limits and your centralized

found this paper too, which is the same (but different) research to the other Uni Zurich paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2504.17809

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Thanks, midipoet.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It looks like Zcash is set to continue its dev fund through November 2028. 8% of the block reward to Zcash Community Grants and 12% to a "Coinholder-Controlled Fund".

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Lol 8:1, landslide victory

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> This is what happens when you have a dev fee. The recipients own majority of the vote

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Community governed funding model = like 0.01% haha

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> "Over 1 million shielded ZEC was used to vote!"

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> lmao

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> isnt that like 10%+ of the supply. I wonder who has that much zec /s

<e​longated:matrix.org> Zoooko n gang

<j​effro256:monero.social> No one is strong enough to resist the money printer

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Does coinholder fund just mean they are doing "staking" without the work of implementing it?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> To capitalize on their massive share of the supply?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> AFAIK, no. It is a way to grant ZEC for development, etc., by vote of people holding ZEC: zips.z.cash/draft-ecc-community-and-coinholder#disbursementprocess
