Title: Solving scalability means accepting hybrid/decentralised models..
Post by: FilesFM_Announcements on October 05, 2018, 02:09:43 PM
I don't believe so far we have found a truly decentralised solution to the blockchain. Hybrid / Decentralised models seem to be the best fit for typical use cases. Having a decentralised model, for store of value is perfectly ok, its small data which typically won't require the transmission of a lot of data or code; but for typical day to day use of a blockchain we want to send messages, send values and store data.. for this I think we need a suitable hybrid model.. we see this more and more with lightening networks, and master nodes, but maybe the solution is decentralised chains for value, messages and hybrid chains for big data which won't cost lots in gas. For example; when I go to buy a coffee, why can't my wallet look at where I'm purchasing the coffee and reasonably think 'hey this guy is buying coffee its not required to be a private transmission' let's use a hybrid/decentralised chain for this transaction which is faster.

I was thinking that blockchains should be a platform which intelligently switch between various chains depending on who, where and why we are doing the transactions to fix issues with scalability, ease of use, and lower costs.

What do you guys think?

I don't think that's a problem for the underlying blockchain, but rather should be a function of the wallet you're using.

I also believe that some purchases do not need to complicate the system, and you can do a normal transaction, not complicated.
But how will the system understand that this transaction pays for coffee, and this pays for the car?
