What do you think will be your edge over other popular networks?
Up until now it is hard to beat ethereum platform, in terms of popularity.
How are you going to attract developers and make them stay to your network?
Sometimes the problem is about consumers, if they are not familiar with the network, they tend to stick with the popular one.
Well, firstly I'd say we would never consider "beating" Ethereum at this stage. We have a lot of work to do first, and they've done an awesome job and built a really solid platform. New low cap projects calling themselves Ethereum killers is a bit of a joke, honestly.
We're trying to build something that focuses on data storage (text) and the ease of use in hooking up to it. We intend to build tools and plugins allowing your average web developers to benefit from blockchain storage with just the insertion of some code and connection with a wallet (via Eso app). A few things Ethereum struggles with are speed and cost. We really need to have those things in our favour and I think it's possible to outperform Ethereum at a few things and then make those your point of difference. Our unique usernodes setup will also rewards everyday users, for doing nothing at all other than using the apps (having the browser window open). So I think we will attract mainstream users as there's no real crypto or blockchain experience required to earn rewards. We'll also attract mainstream users via the websites that are hooking into our chain. Those web users won't even know they're using a blockchain but they still benefit from it (security and lack of central data storage).
In summary, we compete by focusing on areas that other platforms are not, and also focusing on mainstream adoption and day to day usage. So there won't be so much of a problem "switching rom ethereum to Carbon platform" it will be more like introducing new people to blockchain and we're their first experience.
