I am very interested in the life of this project, because it seems to me that this is the way to implement blockchain in large structures that do not want to lose their positions. Cryptocurrencies are good, but they regularly face resistance from the authorities. But if we show the state and banking institutions what advantages this technology actually has, then they can think about it. It's nice that there are people like Borodich, who feel the same and are actively working in this direction.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Yes, it is a very advanced technology. Pay attention to the speed of transactions and an interesting solution in the architecture. It was especially interesting to analyze the consensus algorithm, but I still do not understand it to the end. But nothing, I'm a user, not a programmer. Guys do the same thing as TON, only they don't need a billion dollars to do it.

Recently have looked at the nest 100 days plan. I still remember at the time of first similar plan's announcement it was looking far now those days are over. Universa team has achieved many things and already few days are gone from second phase. While market is down opportunity will remain available to pick up more tokens.
Yes, I compared the plan of TON and UNIVERSA, as well as the achievements that were made. Somehow a billion does not really help to develop the project. For all this time only online passport has been made, while Universa is already implementing the platform.

I REALLY hope that they don't follow TON footsteps. For now TON team only make promises. And not even public promises

Their approach is different. Durov's team try to achieve "everything at once", create some kind of a "supernova" on the market. Universa chose to act "slowly but steadily" - implement the platform on a lesser scale, and than gradually gain more and more support and adoption.

Well, I can't say anything good about the first method - if you don't show anything for a long time, it generally means that something went wrong. Community doen't like to wait. At all. I don't wanna say that TON is scam, but project that spend so much time in "secret development" usually are not so impressive as the audience hope them to be.

Also they choose different implement strategy, so i don't think Universa will follow anyone.

If TON will make any mistake they will crush at onse, but if Universa made something wrong during their work - they just have to update their platform and continue growing

It's "high risk - high return game". "Exploding" releases are much more impressive. And about waiting - how many times Casper was delayed. But still in Vitalik we trust

Crypto in general is "high risk game". There is no point in worsening the odds. So Universa's careful approach is much more appealing to me. Ethereum, prior to delays in changes, already become successful and innovative network. TON, to date, showed nothing.

It doesn't work that way. Large businesses put too much money into TON. If it fails - they won't just "let it go". Developers have to screw up really spectacularly to lose investors' support.

It doesn't come only to money. Audience expectaions of TON are so high, that any fail will doom its popularity for a very long time. Universa is perceived as "just" a utility network. And it will be considered OK, if they'd have to tweak it a bit every so often.

So, basically, you're saying that TON is "cryptoheaven", while Universa is "just a tool". When you put it that way, I can't really argue - a tool has a right to be not perfect.

A very, very potent tool. Remember - steamengine also was "just a tool".

Guys, I don't really think that such a direct comparison is appropriate. It's OK to compare their marketing strategies, but these projects do not compete with each other. And we are now saying that "That one is good, that one is bad".

Yep. They are different projects with different goals in mind. But they have really a lot in common - both have a potential to revolutionize their respective fields, both have some delays and troubles, both has some bad press from former employees. So I think it's quite interesting to compare their ways of doing business.

I don't think so. "To do something with small resources" and "to use vast resources efficiently" - are quite different skills.

well, after Universa will be fully implemented by several banks and transportation companies (I think, it will take a year or so) - the company will have similar resources with TON.

And it will be much harder stage. It's not so hard for a cryptostart-up to "take off", but it's really hard to survive and do not stall in development.

For Universa it won't be so hard. It will have to correspond with the needs of new companies, implementing the blockchain. And, frankly, it's much simpler, than meet the expectations of cryptoenthusiasts
