The problem, as I already stated, is that speed is irrelevant until you can show the system functions in the wild without imploding from one of it's own flaws, being exploited to death, or showing it doesn't have deficiencies that a regular blockchain doesn't.  The original poster made the thread under the guise of being a non-biased 3rd party, yet it's blatantly obvious it's an Emunie sock puppet account trying to do something like increase IPO payout.  Dan isn't stupid and has a good chance of possibly creating something viable, but trying to insult people's intelligence by having obvious shills like "peachy" and this guy posting and pretending to be non-biased observers doesn't help.
