Have been interested in the ArcBlock proj for some time, so I dived into the white paper today. It highlights, for instance, poor performance among today's blockchain tech segments as a key reason why ArcBlock is needed.

I myself own some cryptokitties and whenever i logged into the site, the status of the network had never been "normal", it was either "slow" or "very slow". This is un-imaginable for games or apps which have millions of users. How will blockchain tech ever support 3D mmorpg on mobile, for instance, if this problem is not tackled at the roots?

This, is where I believe ArcBlock's platform service positioning, and inherent design-integration with cloud computing comes in. Everyone's motivated by incentives. “Miners” in ArcBlock stand to gain whenever they bring in computing resources, or help to build the platform by providing software components, new svcs, and even readymade applications. Imagine a gigantic decentralised network of computing nodes on the cloud, powering Dapp development and operations for worldwide consumer use. Hoping to see the day this comes true.

I agree with you. I carefully studied the documentation for this project. The information is very complicated. But she makes it clear that the team of the project is serious, and the plans are very ambitious.
