Polkadot (DOT) is incredibly undervalued. Tomorrow, its first parachain becomes tradeable! Five chains launching on it this month. Five more every month through EOY. LFG!

I’m trying to understand Polkadot and have a question regarding its functionality?
Great question. While the back-bone of Polkadot is Substrate, and using Substrate comes with the benefit of having a direct approach in becoming a parachain (e.g. using the Cumulus library - Parachain module) non Substrate-based chains can be deployed onto Polkadot.

There are 43 active parachains on Polkadot, not counting private ones, and 130 total announced projects headed for parachain status. When is the relay chain going to be upgraded to handle more than 100 parachains?
I don't think asynchronous backing has any direct effect on the number of parachains, no (I mean, there likely is an effect, but it's not the goal and my understanding is that any effect on that would be minimal, although I'm not involved in the deep engineering here). It increases throughput, correct, by decreasing the time between blocks by not needing to do a "roundtrip" to the relay chain to build new blocks. See https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/3779 for an overview.

Polkadot Staking Alternatives in light of Kraken US's staking closure
"The 27 waiting day is unavoidable and a very important security measure to protect against certain attacks and vulnerabilities of PoS. I totally understand that it is annoying, but arguably it is for the benefit+security of the overall network, which includes you as well at the end of the day as DOT-holder." - from this GitHub discussion.

Question about controller address when staking.
Actually it looks like you can! It's just not recommended. This is from the official documentation: "Starting with runtime version v23 natively included in the client version 0.8.23, payouts can go to any custom address. If you'd like to redirect payments to an account that is neither the controller nor the stash account, set one up. Note that setting an exchange address as the recipient of the staking rewards is extremely unsafe.*

Bill Laboon AMA 9 Dec 2022 - 14.00-15.00 UTC
A particular validator sent out a LOT of dispute reports (i.e., saying that other validators did something incorrectly) last night (for reasons unknown). It looks like other nodes "choked" reading all of these disputes, and one subsystem died, stalling nodes but NOT killing the process. It's still being investigated, but you can look at the issue on Github to see it being discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6412
