Great idea!!
Most crypto agnostics here who aren't priests in any particular crypto religion just want to see good coins, platforms & developers well supported, so a Crypto Olympics to help the cream float to the top would be really cool ... and FUN!!
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.
The OP clearly stated in the initial post that he was biased towards eMunie, everyone around here has some sort of bias or allegiance to some project. Whether it be Bitcoin, Nxt, BitShares, Vanilla or whatever else the current flavor of the month is, just because there is bias, that doesn't mean that individual can't perform a valid test....believe it or not, some of us on here are mature enough to leave bias at the door in certain situations.
I really thought you had more intelligence and integrity than resorting to accusations of sock puppet/shill accounts to "win" your argument. Disappointing.
