Re: [ANN][LISK] Lisk | ICO | Decentralized Application & Sidechain Platform
if i didn't have a point or weren't right in pointing this out the banana user wouldn't say i'm trying to be smart. i appreciate that. others agreed with me and i'm glad i raised this.
Sadly, barely anyone agrees with you.
Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto-currency platform even though the client is downloaded from a centralized server.
Lisk is a decentralized application platform even though the dapp is currently downloaded from a centralized server.
You are clinging on some aspects of decentralized applications, stating a "true" DaPP should be decentralized in every manner.
What is rather outstanding is you also cling to the idea Bitcoin is not decentralized...
here we have the definition for the Dapp my Maxx:
An application which becomes decentralized because it runs on a blockchain with a big number of servers. All servers are controlling each others computations and correct them if needed. Same as Bitcoin, Lisk or Nxt are decentralized application themselves.
E.g. Bitcoin only has the feature to send tokens around. However, a Lisk dapp can has mostly any feature, e.g. saving an arbitrary value onto the blockchain, calculating a deterministic value and so on.
We don't store any code on the blockchain. Dapps needs to be deterministic, yes.
So once and forever:
Dapps on Lisk are not decentralised downloaded (the same as bitcoin regarding to Lisk), nor saving data on the blockchain, so everyone can use it decentralised (like Ethereum with smart contracts) but a app can save some numbers on the blockchain, and it can use Lisk (which is a decentralised software) thats making Lisk Dapps decentralised. It cant run from data on the blockchain, because of Javascript limitations. An Dapp like Augur is impossible, IOT Dapps possible.
This is wrong. I specifically said that you can save "data on the blockchain". Something like Augur is possible.
