There's way too many people that disregard or write off Solana without even exploring it for themselves

I did explore it. I've even historically participated in their main discord, reported security issues, tried to reason through their design choices, and ultimately, I just don't like it. I feel like there's things they could improve, and then there's things that are too extreme of efforts to change that are sorely needed.

proof of history necessarily makes validators do way more work than is required. They call it a verifiable delay function but definitionally it fails on this due to the lack of succinctness (all hashes must be validated, albeit can be in paralllel).

The bandwidth required for validators is somewhat of a centralizing force, but further the stake barrier involved has lead to a superminority that controls sufficient stake to take over the network: out of 1375 total validators, 19 have enough stake to control.

Would love to hear more of your thoughts here!

What issues do you have with it in terms of design, needed improvements/changes, etc.

One of the biggest things I see is that Solana might be the first chain to truly get to human scale and perform well enough for the average consumer to use daily
