Did the Kaspa community have a say in choosing the oPoW mining algorithm?

Yes — the decision to use oPoW was not made by developers alone; the community voted on it before the mainnet launched. This means the mining algorithm was a community-approved choice, not something imposed from the top down. For a beginner, this is a meaningful detail: it shows that Kaspa's governance included community input on a foundational technical decision from the very start.
