Goodbye Blockchain. Hello Hashgraph.

[Windmoney@1]

majority of people yet to know the usefulness of blockchain  and the integration of it... Best usefulness of blockchain is yet to come.....

Is really Hashgraph better then Blockchain?

https://coincodex.com/article/2715/blockchain-versus-hashgraph/

[jpaul]

I don't think that this is going to be as popular as the blockchain technology that we already have and even if it ends up being so then it will be a while before people are catching up with the hashgraph. I don't think that blockchain is doing bad right now and maybe when the hashgraph becomes popular they can find out a way to coexist

[ecnalubma]

Wether it’s Blockchain or Hashgraph what really matters is how it can help the society and how it solves different issues. Competition is a healthy sign that these technological changes has a lot of things to offer, what we might know about these technology might not be enough but both could be beneficial in terms of purpose and efficiency.

Please don't shoot me   I too reacted the same way when I read the topic title.Infact,being an optimistic blockchain supporter,I didn't even bother to open the article until the geek inside me pushed me to.Anyway,I was surprised.I mean we should embrace the changes right ? Here ya go,welcome HashGraph.

The new consensus algorithm

Introducing Hashgraph – a fair and fast, byzantine fault tolerant consensus algorithm. According to the founding Hashgraph team consisting of computer science and cybersecurity pioneers Dr. Leemon Baird and Mance Harmon, the hashgraph consensus method achieves the following notable feats:

It’s fast: 250,000+ transactions per second and limited only by a users bandwidth (Pre-Sharding)
It’s fair: mathematically proven fairness (via Consensus Time Stamping)
It’s secure: bank-grade security (Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant)
Why is Hashgraph superior to Blockchain?

If hashgraph beats blockchain. Will bitcoin and other blockchain coin die?

[Joel_Jantsen]

If hashgraph beats blockchain. Will bitcoin and other blockchain coin die?

No, they won't. HashGraph is a patented tech and many crypto enthusiasts critic such technologies. Personally, I'm not a big fan of technology that is patented by someone. Even if HashGraph is used to create a coin like Bitcoin, it will take ages for it to develop a commercial value. By the time it gets some market value, Bitcoin will be much ahead in terms of the market share along with a few other good coins. The technologies will not even compete with each other. At the end of the day, it's upto the users to decide which tech they're more comfortable with.

It's too early to pass judgement on Blockchain since we cant actually confirm the claims about hashgraph. Besides, an open source tech will always be ahead of any closed/patented technology.

[sudeshkumar]

Any changes in the technology for the betterment of the humanity is always welcome but I want to add here    that blockchain technology is tested and followed rigorously. Hashgraph will also have  to pass through the similar tests  before adoption . Till such time have happy moments.

[marksayson]

Well, it is just a proposition yet. Compared to blockchain that is fully established now and is keep going on its update. We will conclude further but first let's just see it running before making conclusion.

What is it? a new technology? I guess blockchain has not even started and shown its full potential then there is another technology? It is hard for me to accept the fact but maybe I can adopt to changes if it is proven that hashgraph will be way better than blockchain. What is your opinion guys?

[maydna]

I think if hashgraph is better than blockchain, it will give something new and different than blockchain. But in a short of reading in the https://coincodex.com/article/2715/blockchain-versus-hashgraph/, I see that hashgraph is more like a decentralized system which different than blockchain. I learned at :

One key perceivable perk for Blockchain is that the technology is fully open source. hashgraph, however, is not. This means that Dr. Leemon Baird, the inventor of the hashgraph distributed consensus algorithm and the co-founder and CTO of Swirlds, decides who can use the distributed ledger and who cannot.

But maybe I am wrong for this because I don't read for the whole article. I think hashgraph itself still need more development to compete with the blockchain and let the time will answer who will better.

An immutable open ledger of accounts needs incentives to STAY there and immutable...

PoW does that, nothing else

Hashgraph really carries a noble mission and they have tremendous will. They are really trying to make a miracle in the crytocurrency market. I appreciate HBAR and I bought their private sale pool for $ 0.0056, and I'm sure that when it is listed on Bittrex and Upbit, its value will increase dramatically.
They have a really big community and we should wait and see what they are about to achieve in the coming days.

It doesn't really matter, for example bitcoin is the granddaddy of crypto coins but many altcoins have better features than bitcoin and not a singe one of these so called altcoins are able to kick the king's (bitcoin) crown out of its head for a whooping 10years and counting, the fact is will people choose hashgraph over bitcoin? i doubt it

[Winscosinally]

I am impressed about what hashgraph project has in its disposal but mind you we have few projects on blockchain that has thunderbolt like fast transaction speed but they still can't beat bitcoin in terms of better support, it might take hashgraph many years to stand at where bitcoin is standing today, its really not that easy

As a fact of any good protocol, the 'feature' are not part of itself, but rather the protocol ensures security & stability and enables a lot of Features to be build on top of it ( like TCP/IP)

Once u ve found out that the original BitCoin protocoll was and is already such and can scale - than all other funny 'Feature-protocols' are useless.

Is this coin totally based on the hashgraph? Could you post the project website?

Wonder if anyone has been able to build something successful with hashgraph or it's still remains mere concept?
I really hope we have lots of Blockchain alternatives. Seems like no good project is embracing available alternatives so far
