Title: Burst's countdown to Dymaxion. Help me figure it out
Post by: pinkflower on December 04, 2017, 01:19:28 AM
This is the timer, Dymaxion Countdown (https://dymaxion.burst.cryptoguru.org/)

First lets find what the meaning of Dymaxion is.

According to Wikipedia it's "a term that Buckminster Fuller associated with much of his work—prominently his Dymaxion House and Dymaxion Car. Dymaxion, a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension sums up the goal of his study, "maximum gain of advantage from minimal energy input.""

But what does that mean for Burst holders? Is it a new Proof of Capacity algorithm, a new way to build smart contracts more efficiently, or will Burst be a better and more secure platform for developing DAPPs?

Will there also be a partnership like what Stellar has with IBM?

Help.

I'm very curious about this announcement. Liking the countdown!  :D

The PoCC already stated (other then the clear answer above) that it will not be some superficial partnership with a big name.

Regarding the scope/size of the announcement the PoCC has stated (and i'm paraphrasing here) that it is gonna be huge. Given the PoCC's track record so far, i'm very much inclined to believe them.

Anyway, i've stocked up some more on Burst.

Anyone care to speculate about the contents of the announcement?

No.


But if the PoCC's roadmap (https://www.burst-coin.org/roadmap) is finished or close to finish, will Burst be a suitable platform for big companies that want to use a blockchain?

From my perspective, all development on blockchains should have the big companies in mind. Because a small community of users will not be enough to reach Burst's full potential.

This question requires a lot of error tolerance to be answerable.

  • It's not PoCC's roadmap, we're just being asked for input.
  • "that want to use a blockchain" is a constraint both unnecessary and unprecise.

Assuming we know what you really wanted to ask, the answer is this:

There is no company on this planet too big  for the Dymaxion.

I cant stop myself from going "hmmmm" followed by a smile and then laughing like Dr. Frankenstein like I know something that others dont. But at the same time I dont want to spread the word too much because I dont want to disappoint a lot of people.

Having said that, a small warning to everyone. Keep your expectations low. Dymaxion is not that good and dont buy Burst. Its risky.
