Building a Next Generation Blockchain in Public?
Since the past few weeks, I've been working on a new blockchain network, focused on accessibility, affordability for the general public, and of course, bootstrapped indie hackers, with reasonably accessible compute,
What are your opinions about building it in public?
I'd love to know if you have any insights, or thoughts about things currently lacking in the ecosystem, (in terms of accessibility, or features)

Which gaps (or pain-points) with existing blockchain networks are you trying to address with your new network?
Can you explain more on the "affordability for general public" part?
Imagine you built the network already, which use-case would you be applying it to?
Mainly the exorbitant gas fees in the Ethereum network, long transaction time in the Bitcoin network are some of the pain points I'm working on. In terms of affordability, getting started with developing/hacking on a blockchain should be accessible.
Talking of use-cases, there are plenty of use-cases for decentralized programs online, so that can be up to the users of the network, whatever they want to build on the platform. I don't think we can yet fully fathom the depth and range of use-cases that are to come, using the technology. It's quite hard to predict.
Thanks for your answers . It is a steep learning curve to get started with blockchains. I hope your network makes it more easily accessible.
About the building in public part, I personally think it is a great idea. You can consider me to be 'general public' except I have an engineering background. Second, I am a blockchain enthusiast who has some unpolished ideas about using blockchain for non-financial applications. So, I am genuinely interested in following your learning path as well as your actual blockchain network building journey. Wish you all the best.
