Gustav brother! You scared away Bryce with so many questions man.
Just kidding
that was good questions!
Everyone be prepared with your question list- if you have different questions....
+1
They are the questions that need to be asked.
don't know about you but i don't feel entirely well with the SC-proposal. I just hope Bryce doesn't push too hard for it.
My position would be:
merged mining: yes please but a little later maybe (if others vote for sooner i'll agree with it too) - i'm all for it as raising network security fully makes sense.
sidechains: not so much, honestly. I'd really want to see this work in other coins first and see if it is even useful and safe. I think we won't loose out on anything if we don't follow the flock so fast with it.
Look LTC wants implement it and btc too. Now wait for the drama once the exploit/crack is found and people start to mess with it and LTC and BTC need to hardfork again to undo their changes or repair their broken shit. For my taste it's too complex and not proven/tested enough. I don't trust it right now. I'm ok with waiting for LTC or any other coin to make the first move on that and try it out on their network, wait for the first critiques from the pros, wait for the hackers and crackers to have a go on it and then reevaluate again before actually wanting to see it anywhere near my uno.
I don't care what funding and celebrities dev they have on it. They can't be sure it hasn't bugs before it's not time tested in the wild. All these people like to think greatly of themselves and how genius their new ideas are (just like Butterin who hasn't produced anything working to date. And where is mastercoin today?). Sure they may be good coders and all, but in reality the last word has the hacker who cracks it. This is moneyapplications and need to be military grade secure not some computergame style that breaks down or is cracked 8 weeks after release.
So i'd really want to observe this from a distance for a bit longer. What makes me suspicious is also how they want to push for implementation on the high cap coins and not even announcing a new alt with it to test it. This whole story is strange to me. I would absolutely not agree on SC in Uno before i haven't seen it work from first hand experience and some time to go by for the hackers to try their things.
Then if it proves to be viable i would want to see people actually use it for something else than scams (actually see the usecase).
Let's see what Bryce answers to the questions though. I think the discussion is likely interesting.
I'll probably ask a few follow up questions too.
I'm such a conservative mofo, i know
