Saito (SAITO)

This is hardly worth my time, Shai.

The block producer puts the transaction in the block -- they are not self-cloning and then forward-propagating to a child, which is the behavior punished by the routing decay.

Saito does actually address the separate problem you are talking about, but you hardly understand the mechanism well enough to understand how. The solution exists because competition between routing paths creates an incentive for nodes which can cooperate to do so to increase the efficiency of transaction propagation. Essentially, nodes that compensate peers with off-chain transfers can smooth payments in ways that maximize welfare for both nodes by increasing the utility of the overall routing path.

in such a situation, if the receiving node engages in this behavior off-chain transfers is by definition non-credible, which shifts collaborating peers back from the forms of cooperative routing that are driving transaction sharing and reduces inbound transaction flow and income. The problem is one of

I would challenge @Justin_Bons to find:

* a 51% attack on Saito, or
* a theoretical proof it must exist, or
* another chain without that problem

It should be utterly trivial for any cryptocurrency researcher who believes what Justin does to provide at minimum #2.

I have to thank my Tribe member @Stephanesaito for pinging me this great comeback.

I studied this protocol back in 2022 and held for a while.

I remember the great dedication, work ethic, and real use case.

I'm happy for this comeback, @SaitoOfficial, and the +36% daily candle.

Ultra bullish on innovators and strong teams that tank every market condition.

Will keep an eye on this.
