There is performance and economic cost to having more nodes than is reasonably necessary to ensure security. You pay a penalty in transaction speed. If it's gonna take minutes/hours to form a consensus to confirm a transaction because of the extra overhead then how useful is that? It's about about being efficient. PoW is like a gas guzzling 40 year old truck that gets 5 mpg and takes $100 or more to fill the tank. It may be reliable but I'm not buying one. I and most people only want/need an efficient modern sedan/suv that get 30+ mpg and only takes $40 or less to fill. That is what DPoS is, a more efficient motor for the masses.

The law of diminishing returns. Why is 6 confirmations enough for a Bitcoin transaction to be deemed secure? It's because the difference from 6 to 7 or more confirmation doesn't add a significant amount more security. The same can be said with nodes, Unless you are making and exponential jump in nodes, the difference becomes mute. How much reliable is 99.999% vs 99.9999% in overall security?

When gateways become fully enabled through Bitshares volume and liquidity are when increase dramatically!

Nice. Now we need to get more bitassets like this!

4th place on coinmarketcap was just the beginning!!!!

Its confusing because there are two seperate things being built simultaneous lee. The Bitshares music Dac is the for handling the Artiscoin. It's functions as a sort stock exchange for the coin(notes). PerrTracks is jsut the fstore for buying songs,merchandise (maybe tickets) and artist discovery. A person can come to PeerTracks, buy something a never touch notes part. If they however want to invest more in the artist or access more exclusiv things then the can invest the artistcoin.
