1. Synereo is based on Ethereum and Ethereum can't ever work technologically. I detailed my reasoning and specifically what I think is Greg's myopia on Ethereum's future version named Casper (which Greg Meredith is involved with on the math for consensus-by-betting). (Will be adding more on that technological point soon in the linked thread)

Ethereum 2.0 will be based on Casper which Greg is the head designer. Both Synereo and Ethereum 2.0 will utilize Casper PoS. Other than that to my knowledge, Synereo holds no other resemblance to Ethereum. There is no scripting or turing completeness in Synereo.

I did hear (in this video Hangout) Greg mention that Synereo might use a more integrated form of Casper's consensus algorithm. My point is that if Casper's consensus algorithm is flawed, then so will be Synereo on the AMPs part. But again, please follow the Ethereum Paradox thread so we can discuss more the issue of Casper.

Okay it appears on further analysis that Synereo only needs the AMPs to be on a block chain and thus these are a directed acyclic graph, thus as long as not built on Ethereum then should be okay.

But note that PoS has Nash equilibrium failure modes.

And again this isn't my only doubt about Synereo as enumerated upthread.

Greg is apparently a very talented mathematician. I hope he is not offended by my review. I could see him as potentially an ally, but I think he needs to stop dreaming so wide-eyed and needs someone more well grounded to bring him back down to reality sometimes (myself being a very pragmatic person). Some of his mannerism actually remind me of myself which was weird for me the first time I watched him on video.
