Too bad not being built as a side chain on Graphene.
Too bad not being built as a side chain on Graphene.
We are still discussing that and talking to BitShares people. This can be token agnostic, however the exchanges we are talking to want Ethereum to list it. We need liquidity.
Liquidity will come if projects like yours pioneer the use of STEEM or SBD and help us increase demand. You'd have a whole community behind you to push it, also, which would increase demand and help create liquidity. We probably need to bring Steem-powered UIAs (User Issued Assets) over here from BitShares to enable more efficient crowdfunding. I don't think they wouldn't take that long to implement with Steem, since BitShares has had them for some time and both are Graphene.
So much to learn. It never ends lol
Isn't STEEM essentially Graphene 2.0? I was thinking Steem Side Chain so that it becomes yet one more thing to increase the attractiveness of the Steem ecosystem. I know Graphene is used for Bitshares, but @dantheman did make that too before Steem. :) So my question was purely in the interest of seeing Steem expand and grow and do well. From the writings of @dantheman I would expect it to be fashioned to do anything that Ethereum can do, but I could be wrong.
@dwinblood:
Well, we'd all like to pioneer the use of STEEM or SBD. It'd be much better if we could pioneer the use of STEEM or SBD. And stable, clear interfaces would certainly help us to do that. But those are anathema to talk about around here, treasonous, in fact.
Oh, well.
@charlieshrem
This sounds absolutely amazing. Congratulations. Good luck with your launch: I can see projects like yours creating a completely new dynamic in personal finance, and if successful, begin to morph the idea of what a business really is. Blockchains will win out anywhere people collaborate on things of value.

This is the real message about blockchains, and this is why they have such power. The machines successfully mediate a collaborative human process, and in doing so actually help us to overcome some of our flaws (like casual dishonesty.) Blockchains augment people. They can make value move in entirely new ways that we'd never attempt as just ourselves because they create a flawless shared narrative, which is impossible among a group of 100's or 1000's of humans.
If we even compare this to distributed databases, we find that those mutable systems are vulnerable again from the human angle. And that's the insane thing about blockchains people: So far, they've worked.
