R0ach, my point is there is no consensus among the developers on this forum(this is a GOOD THING for thinking outside the box). We do not know if one chain or another will gain mass adoption at this point, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses. A simple start of getting intelligent people together to discuss crypto can lead to interesting developments and or cooperation which benefit all parties.

Too much bickering about each others projects. These are all experiments at this point in time in which will require adaptation just like human nature.

In my opinion the real problem is that nobody wants this shit, and for the narrow market of people that do want it, Bitcoin is good enough. Therefore Bitcoin gets 99% of the adoption and the rest, whether bickering or productive collaboration, more or less gets nowhere.

There's also a lot of low-attention-span going on, where everyone wants their favorite consensus system (including Bitcoin) to take off like a rocket, and when it doesn't the reaction (Larimer in particular) is to assume that something must be wrong with it and some other variation is needed. When in reality we are in the middle of a blizzard and it makes no damn difference what flavor your ice cream happens to be, because no one wants any ice cream right now.

This is of course the "assume good faith" model. In the bad faith model, the parade of "improved" systems are more a mechanism to churn investors to keep funds flowing to the developers, like some sort of sick penny stock boiler room.

Your too negative Tongue

Everyday I read the news: Capital controls, war on physical cash, confiscate precious metals, Panama papers, etc... I feel we are just ahead of our time and actually using our brains unlike the sheeple. With crypto it's going to take a lot more shit hitting the fan before the sheeple stop paying attention to sports and open their eyes.

When will the revolution happen where people take back financial control? War's are no longer fought with tanks, its all financial once you start looking around. Who actually owns who?

Consensus systems are another topic altogether which I do not personally believe may ever be "perfect." I do feel we are still in alpha stage with any of the current models however I appreciate all the hard work that are going into these experiments.
