"When I started, I wasn't treated like a noob, but was met with motivation and helping hands. The community is more than welcoming and happy to help anyone from all levels of expertise."
Genesis Founding Member
"Running a Mina node doesn't have a high barrier to entry - you don't need too technical of a background to start and many people can just start in 10 minutes from the docs provided."
Genesis Founding Member
"While Mina's technology is cutting edge, what really makes the project is the people involved, both the O(1) Labs team members and the Mina community."
Genesis Founding Member
"I feel that Mina’s testnet is the most accessible compared to other testnets. Every step is explained very well in the docs, which is very important to me as I'm not a technical specialist."
Genesis Founding Member
"My favorite thing about Mina is how it utilizes and builds on zk-SNARKs, which are a fundamental technology that could have a massive impact on the blockchain space and technology in general."
