CryptoCoinsNews: How does Evergreen compete with Bitcoin?

Joel Dietz: If you’ve been following the Bitcoin 2.0, you know that, for Bitcoin to innovate, either people have to create superlayers on top of them (e.g. Mastercoin) or whole new protocols (i.e. Ethereum) that improve on the underlying tech. Both of these options are problematic in different ways. There are many limitations in the first model, and the second model, as much as I love it, means starting over every time there is a substantially new innovation. Also, you have the long term problems such as “What if there is an advance in quantum computing that renders the core crypto useless?” or “What if I don’t want everyone to know how much money I have and what I spent it on?”

So those are general issues with the protocol as it currently exists that have no easy answers. For us, the core advantage we offer is embedded reputation, instant clearing time, stable exchange rates into other currencies, and seamless integration into POS services (which we’ve built and deliver).

If I had to compare and contrast with respect to classic currency definitions, I’d say that Bitcoin is doing a great job of being a “store of value”, not so great as a “unit of account,” and okay as a “means of exchange.” We are doing much better at the “means of exchange” and “unit of account” parts, but “store of value” is a bit ambiguous right now because you have to trust that we actually have the assets in a vault somewhere. Ideally this will be forced at some point by corporate bylaws and the existence of a separate Evergreen Trust, but we aren’t there yet.

Couple of q's for ya

What's your expected gram per watt?
What's your lighting plan?
What type of method will you use? Scrog/sog/Christmas tree
What medium?
What rooms size, veg/mother/flowering
Will you sterilize rooms to reduce risk of buggage?
What wattage and type of lighting?
What safety equipment will be onsite to deal with known risks?
Does your insurance on the house cover fire under these circumstances?
Confirm you are borrowing neighbors electric?
What extraction?
What odour control?
What strains?
Do you have any experience growing 100+ plants?

These come to mind as common sense questions heh


Hash rate?  Grin

BTW, I'm not dissing your endeavor, nor plan on vetting/doxxing you, in case you're wondering. Just here enjoying the thread, bud (no pun intended).

I dont have anything to do with this, I asked some questions at the start and based on the answers I decided not to invest.

I know. I was just asking an important question you forgot to ask.  Wink

i had load of ripples in my account.. i deemed them worthless anyways, but i found that they routinely wipe peoples accounts.. that was last year before the sell off,

for me ripples was never a currency and NO ONE should treat them as such. the best description of ripples or 'ether' or stella is to think of them as postage stamps that sit on the outside and used only to ensure the currency (bank notes in an envelope) gets to its destination. not to be thought of as a currency to trade. but as a simple stamp to use.

and they are not a blockchain that is there permenantly, they are just a SQL database.. again worthless, no true ownership

+1

It's not money. It's a platform with a tax that let's others exchange money.  

I heard NXT just released a mostly trustless distributed exchange. Only a few coins now but in the future any coin will be traded with any other coin directly with no worry a middleman can steal your cash.  That's better then Ripple or this new project, but still for assets without blockchains, I guess gateways and trust are needed.

I gotta seriously look into this NXT thingie for a project I'm working on. BTW, I went ahead and registered CoinProLite for shits & giggles. I think I can seriously use it as a utility for the almost guaranteed distribution I have in mind.
17671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I just lost respect for Jed Mccaleb on: August 01, 2014, 09:29:59 AM
Is ripple gone already?

Still has a 43 million dollar market cap ... but with this announcement I'm sure Ripple prices are going to crash. I am not sure how I feel about Stellar at this point in time till I read the yet to be released whitepaper but it sure is a hell of a lot better than Ripple based upon the info thus far.

Interesting, I didn't think it would make it for several reasons. I saw them set up a table at one of the Bitcoin conferences and thought it was pretty cheesy piggybacking like that. TradeFortress supported it and I never trusted him. Joel Katz always kind of creeped me out and he worked on Ripple. He hasn't done anything wrong that I know about but he kind of looks like one of one of those guys you would see hanging out on a Starbucks sofa, laying down and waiting to look up girls skirts. lol

I can only image you referring to me as a troll/gnome behind my back, you bald-headed fart.  Grin
17672  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I just lost respect for Jed Mccaleb on: August 01, 2014, 09:01:41 AM
I thought this guy was cool when he sold all
his ripples...

Now he's starting the same scheme all over
again with Stellar. 

http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-ripple-founder-jed-mccaleb-unveils-project-stellar/

Let me guess -- he's gonna sell all his stellars
in a year and leave behind another round
of bag holders in his wake.



The next coin will be a PoSB (Proof of Stellar Burn).

On the other hand, I can see a clear pattern in figure of "daily number of transactions" that there are less bitcoin transactions in weekends. Smiley

Fair enough. But, the valleys correspond to what part of the world? In five more hours it'll be Saturday in Sydney, Australia.

Correct. We haven't made any specific promises with respect to our giveback model since, among other things, it is legally problematic. Generally speaking we encourage people to think of the first iteration of Swarm as a crypto-kickstarter with some cool perks of not particularly clear monetary value rather than an investment.


Isn't the whole point of Swarm to solve the problem of unfairness that occurs with the kickstarter model of fundraising?

You might want to rethink this statement..

I hate to seem pessimistic, but the real problem as I see it is that the more value we provide to people who have swarm coins the more likely we are to be sued by the U.S. government and shut down. So in order to provide the most value long term, we actually have to provide less value in the short term.

I don't blame anyone for thinking this is a bit ridiculous...
WTF Huh I thought you are based in London, UK. So what's US government had to do with this Huh There was no mention of US government in this when you were showing us big dreams referencing Occulus and what not. Basically, you are saying that "It's great that you have invested in our company but don't expect any profits" Huh
I do not want to be seen as spreading FUD. I believed in a plan where everybody was treated fairly. Now, I'm seriously concerned about my investment. Please don't break the trust for we have believed in this project since the beginning. I think the 24 million should be proportionally distributed among the investors and you guys can have 8% of 24 Million=1.92 Million. Straight and simple.



Not sure where you got the idea that Swarm is based in the UK, but I'm seeing headquartered in Palo Alto, California United States, spawned in France.

17675  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SWARM] Swarm - Cryptoequity Crowdfunding - Official Thread on: August 01, 2014, 08:14:44 AM
According to the swarm website (http://swarmcorp.com/team.html) the core team is 4 people, 2 of which are the founders. If you 2 to 4 cannot find any integrity or concensus between yourselves and stick to the plan, how will you build and run a crowdfunding platform? Serious question.

I know this has been discussed a million times, but why does Havelock have so many issues with outages?

Is it ddos?
Is it just overly busy?

I fear the day that I have to make a trade to get out of a security and it'll be jacked up.

There is far too much money involved to be this tolerant of so many problems.
However, whats the friggen alternative?

A P2P exchange comes to mine.

Hence the question: Why?
