2. There are too many types of ZK Coprocessors trying to solve too many problems. - This is not a bad thing, but it does cause confusion that can be a turn off not only for non-technical but also for technical audiences. - Coprocessors that will be remembered as "the first" will likely solve a single problem. We saw this with hardware Coprocessors that specifically solved floating point operations (interestingly also a problem faced by EVM). - It is possible that ZK is "the first" problem. Established and well-used L2s may be selling themselves short by diversifying into ZK. Sometimes less is more. - Web2 companies that became and/or currently act as Coprocessor leaders released several Coprocessors, rather than upgrading their initial success.

1. Everyone thinks Coprocessors have to be ZK Coprocessors. - There are no bounds on what a Coprocessor is other than it needs to be able to help another Processor complete a task. - The first Coprocessors solved floating point operations. Several modern Coprocessors suck at floating point operations. GPUs are an example of a generalized and programmable Coprocessor. - Polygon or pretty much any L2 is currently marketed as a "scaling solution" which is the definition of Coprocessor. Some of these solutions do see "ZK as the end game."

Two big problems with ZK Coprocessors, that were probably also encountered in the early days of the first Coprocessors (hardware), are: TLDR - If everything is a Coprocessor, nothing is a Coprocessor. - Modern computer system design kinda defaults to everything being a Coprocessor by integrating concepts like modularity and composability. - Coprocessors that took off in web2 solved one problem. E.g. floating-point operations.

Zero knowledge (ZK) is an explosive area within the crypto and cybersecurity communities. I made this ZK Ecosystem Map to help outline what's going on. You can read through it, with an intro to ZK, here: https://medium.com/dropout-analytics/the-definitive-guide-to-zk-1b91572233ca?sk=abdaa16aa5e1894ae9423a910b7c4d1f

The total supply of $whoren is only ~98M tokens. Given the meme’s popularity, I believe the market cap would benefit significantly from a 1:10 split. (Increasing total supply to ~980M.) Maybe 1:100. Is this type of maneuver possible?
