Title: Difference Between "Platform" and "Protocol"? Post by: 92iceman on August 21, 2017, 06:01:23 AM Really appreciate if someone could give a definition of those terms, and how they differ. I see them used interchangeably.
Thanks! Title: Re: Difference Between "Platform" and "Protocol"? Post by: CHRISBIN702 on September 12, 2017, 03:33:18 AM Protocol is the official procedure or system of rules governing the communication or activities of programs and/or industries.
Platform refers to the technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, processes or technologies are developed. A computer is a platform. The languages it uses to communicate with software are the protocol. I'm not a programmer though. Just a Google user. Title: Re: Difference Between "Platform" and "Protocol"? Post by: Stingraider on September 13, 2017, 01:21:43 PM think a platform as a software, such as bitcointalk.org - that's a platform
protocol is more like a theory, or theorytical model which a platform can be based on |
