Hi to everyone!
I dont know if i post this in the correct place but lets go (if im wrong please move the post to the correct one).
I want to know your opinion about Blockstacks or Stacks (STX) beacuse i have a few but he sold like the new version for smart contracts based in btc and whit that he can compete whit the eth smart contracts and.....
But when i see the price only go backwards and i dont see people using it. It really worth in the future? or no?
When looking at their specifications, some reasonable design decisions can be seen:
- They avoid trying to establish their own PoW consensus, but instead anchor to BTC as the best existing one, using a sophisticated proof-of-transfer-mining/stacking mechanisms that can move value from BTC to STX and to some extent vice versa
- They decided to leave smart contract turing-completeness off-chain, thereby avoiding some sources of inpredictability while still maintaining a consensus on state for smart contracts
On the other hand, the platform seems to suffer from some opaqueness at this point. Much of the relevant discussions seem to take place on proprietary platforms like Discord. There is an open
forum, but currently it shows multiple cases of people claiming that their balances got lost or didn't show up at all. So it seems that in order to reliably build upon the robust design decisions, the platform would have to mature a bit first.
