## Discussion Q&A:
* a fair launch, community-driven development and innovation, treasury for development (10% of miners rewards)
* A Fair launch vs Tail emission
* Low PoW miner rewards risk reducing network security...
* PoS ticket voting and Politeia governance favours wealthier and more active stakeholders
* Limited mobile functionality
* Privacy features are limited compared to dedicated privacy coins ( Considerations: inflation prevention, ease in changing the cryptographic primitives, and long-term pruning)
* Contributors and community face barriers due to the complexity of the protocol
* the hybrid consensus POW / POS just makes everything super complicated and potentially vulnerable to hacks and bugs
