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.
I'm a "shill" now? Gee, what did I ever do to turn your crank? You don't hear me squawking about how you are an obvious Bitshares shill do you?
I was trying to keep the topic fun and entertaining (as crypto should be), but alas some have lost site of the original intent and focus for why they joined this fight years ago. I have "sampled" the crypto appetizer menu for years, but I keep coming back to the one that is most fair, easiest to understand (for a relatively non-technical person) and (most importantly) has an elastic monetary supply model (which is the ONLY one that will succeed as a true currency per the Quantity Theory of Money).
Here's hoping we can move past the petty name calling and get to something more meaningful.
