EPIC Strives to Be the Most Decentralized Cryptocurrency Network

New York, NY, March 22, 2023 – (SEAPRWire) – EPIC announces further improvement of its technology, aiming to become the most decentralized cryptocurrency network. In the original Bitcoin design, Satoshi envisioned that each user would run their own node, however due to technological limitations that haven’t been overcome since the 2009 release of Bitcoin, the ground-breaking grandfather of cryptocurrency, more than 99% of the world’s 150 million coin owners prefer to let others do the heavy lifting. And it is heavy. While Bitcoin started out as a phenomenon that could be operated on ordinary PCs, it has descended into an expensive endeavor best left to the technically-savvy. A recent survey in Nigeria determined that full node hardware on average costs $400-$800, which is far beyond the means of most users. Why is it so expensive? It’s bloated! A lot of data needs to be processed – 465 GB at the time of writing, and bloating rapidly due to ordinal NFT’s, the latest fad. Enter $EPIC. Epic Private Internet Cash is a challenger for the title of “Satoshi’s Dream”, fair-launched in 2019, that uses a novel blockchain compression design known as Mimblewimble. Mimblewimble compresses unnec...
