RE: DTube opens a witness node on STEEM
"How about dApps that depend on reliability to work?" If you're referring to needing an api source, it would be best for the dApp to run their own api.
"What if I wanted to migrate but for my dApp it meant changing the whole source code?" Then your either migrating to an entirely different blockchain or your code is incredibly tangled and you need to rewrite it.
"What if a big stake holder is put on check, left with his Steem bags and an uncertain bag of Hive?" He didn't lose any Steem, he only gained Hive. Crypto is an investment, it fluctuates, and if you aren't prepared to lose then you shouldn't invest.
"What if half of a dApp's user base wants to migrate and the other half doesn't?"
Choose which half you want to support, or support both. That's kinda like asking "What if half our userbase wants to migrate to Ether?"
"dApps depend highly on TRUST and RELIABILITY, if we can't reach that no serious company will build anything on either blockchains. Either communities have a LOT to learn on business and professionalism, at this moment it's still very childish and controlled by emotions."
Crypto is based around trustless solutions. Going beyond that though, what businesses was your dApp dealing with?
Tbh, we all knew a fork was going to be made, it was only when it would happen.
I'm not talking about my dApp, I'm talking about any serious size dApp developer willing to build something either on Steem or Hive. It's absolutely impractical not having at least some previsibility, and with an emotional consensus governance that goes down the drain.
Investing is all about prevision, risk exposure, risk/reward and is highly dependent on a good management - one may argue that management is up to the dApp's business plan and SMT, but we have to consider that right now the investment is measure in a powered up stake. Major changes led by emotional governance consensus destabilise all of this and is specially agravated once the investor needs to wait 13 weeks to get the fuck out.
He was left with a destabilized token, and gained an uncertain one. Works great for cripto especulators, not for real investors.
If we want both blockchains to grow we need to attract serious investors willing to build on either blockchains. We are talking about people who are not going to risk a couple million on a token led by childish people whose only hope is for the token to go magically up.
But I'm not the one to explain this, you should ask big developers why they don't bring their projects to Steem/Hive.
