goshimmer VS nano-node

I highly recommend searching for "IOTA 2.0 devnet" - it's a *public* test net running for an year with a new OTV consensus entirely without Coordinator. This is the result of literally years of research (link to research papers: https://www.iota.org/foundation/research-papers ). This is the exact link to the git repo of IOTA 2.0 devnet node software: https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer The purpose of Shimmer is to test out these solutions (that already exist) in a real live network - Coordicide will land on Shimmer in a series of modules, which should start happening in the next few months.

Who cares about discord and twitter. He is working even on weekends. https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/commit/3e27a8cb7f128c67244c3d44914b62c078febbd1

That's exactly what the iota foundation is doing, they have built a network where there are no blocks, no commission fees, no miners, the protocol is leaderless, everyone can write on the ledger with their own node. Essentially the network is not competitive (miners trying to mine the block first) but contributory, like bittorrent. Notable fact about congestion, the network exchanges messages that can be only data or economic transactions, the exchange of messages is so fluid that they had to implement a complete congestion protocol in the node with algorithms similar to the TCP layer and a message scheduler. If you're interested in learning more about the technical side, here's a link to their wiki. https://wiki.iota.org/goshimmer/welcome

GOSHIMMER (Coordicide Testnet)

As far as the IOTA ecosystem as whole, we primarily use Rust. Go is being used for prototyping IOTA 2.0 with the GoShimmer node along with some other projects I believe, but Rust is used in the main ones (e.g. client libraries (iota.rs and wallet.rs), Streams, Identity).

[GoShimmer 0.8](https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/releases/tag/v0.8.0) is now out, which means that a working prototype of the final "OnTangleVoting" consensus mechanism is now running on the DevNet.

Nano is the only crypto I'm aware of that actually does 0 transaction fees https://nano.org/

Almost every Nano node release includes new features to make spam harder. I think it will be very hard to spam Nano nowadays. Despite not being in the spotlight and Nano dropping in value, the team is surprisingly active. https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-node/releases

There's some pending work on the horizon to change the database side of things, which has projected storage savings of up to 50%.
