Hi Mr. Z, nicely presented and informative post, thanks for sharing. Have you read Dan Larimers review, "Casper as an eos contract" ?
https://steemit.com/eos/@dan/casper-as-an-eos-contract
I particularly like the "DPOS is Pipelined Casper" section and look forward to hear more about pipelining in EOS, apparently Dan will be releasing a paper detailing a breakthrough Block.one has made in relation to latency / response times. As you point out in 4 "responsive" is a requirement of dapps.
Hi John,
Yeah so far Dan as done a good job with EOS and I am looking forward for the new updates. I also like the approach and the process they are distributing tokens. Taking the time to build the project and allowing everyone to participate in it and allowing the market to determine the price of EOS and limiting the influence of the wales for manipulating the price. Dan has the experience and so far he has delivered. I am looking forward to see the project evolve.
Awesome project, EOS potentially provides scaling solutions for Ethereum. Projects such as Plasma and Raiden will require infrastructure for cross chain transactions. I don't see that transaction fees or gas alone as an incentive to provide infrastructure. If we can have Casper as an EOS contract then why not Plasma as an EOS contract.
Totally agree. At this stage EOS is focusing on building the protocol layers that can support large scale projects. I believe once EOS or other projects like TEZOS will finish the protocol layers then we can see application layers being build on top of these platforms. With regards to Ehtereum and EOS I hope Vitalik and Dan can find a way to collaborate but for now to me they look like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in the early days, a bit too much competition with each other. The future looks bright though, the disruptors will get disrupted.
