It is something much more than qora. If Synereo succeeded it will mean that need for servers will be eliminated. And that will bring limitless uses to Synereo.
Social networking is just one use of that 'no servers' technology. The only slight problem is that we will have to wait for Q4 of 2017 to see full release.
Add Synereo to the list of those who have tried to decentralize hosting in varying degrees:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_software_and_protocols_for_distributed_social_networkingDiaspora was one of the first and is still actively developed and also is more or less intended to be server-less, but the problem is that users can't stand-up their own client 24x7, so in essense all these end up being hosted any way, which will be the same for Synereo.
Problem with hosted nodes is that the data isn't backed up on a blockchain, so if your choice of hosts fails you, then you are screwed. Whereas with all the data backed up on the blockchain (e.g. Steem), then you have decentralized backup of the data. Thus, I concluded that Synereo's distributed model of content is incorrect.As usual, Synereo is a lot of buzzword bullshit, but the reality will hit the metal on the bottom line economics and onboarding realities. And I have already analyzed that in my posts archive.
As for Casper's blockchain design (e.g. RChain), go review TPTB_need_war's posts in the Ethereum Paradox thread.
Any way, most of you are just investing for the hype and pump, and then dump. So my comments shouldn't concern you.
