RE: Blockchain Literacy 101 & The Battle Of The Blockchains: Steemit vs. Ethereum, Lisk, etc…?
One of the things I have read is that the graphene platform has much greater scalability than both Bitcoin and ethereum.
I have to take other people's word for it because I am not a programmer and so don't understand the code or it's intricacies.
I think it was described to me by one of the Peerplays developers that Graphene allows many times more transactions per second and that this was one of the reasons that they chose it as the framework for their business (which really requires fast transactions to function as it is a gambling/gaming company).
That is why they chose to use it rather than ethereum (this was pre DAO when it was at peak hype & FOMO) or Bitcoin.
I was interested because up until then I had not really heard about Bitshares or graphene.
wait, so like a blockchain based poker room... like anyone could start a table, and the money on the table would be like a smart contract. shit thats brilliant. you could even set your own rules for rake at a table you start.
Or, literally anyone could make book. you could have like a marketplace for lines and odds.kind of didnt think of that before... i always just say crypto as a way to move the money not a way to make the bet.
now im deep in thought.
Breakout Coin might be another one besides PeerPlays if into the gambling applications...
And I don't know too much about it, though Augur seems quite interesting as an Ethereum-based predictons market, where anyone could establish their own "market"/bet...
Ok... So in the Bitshares/Graphene vs. Ethereum debate - it'd essential come down to a matter of scaleability vs customizability...?
Like, you could go into great detail into coding particular conditions with an Ethereum app - though Bitshares/Graphene could allow faster & more transactions?
Have you come across any good resources that help clarify that distinction in the particulars of what customization details could be possible with Ethereum that are not (yet) available in/with Bitshares/Graphene...?
I seem to remember someone posting about this kind of comparison - will try to remember where it was and find it. May have been on DAOhub - will have a think and if I can find it I will let you know. It made it pretty easy to understand for us non-coders so would be useful.
Cool. Please do post the link back here in this thread if you do find it...
Will do.
