What does everyone think of EVM?



Ethereum’s added functionality on the Vertcoin blockchain means that Vertcoin’s EVM could do everything that Ethereum is able to do except it occurs on the Vertcoin blockchain instead. (...) The only differences are Vertcoin specific such as longer block times compared to Ethereum, Vertcoin’s EVM port would allow users to create and deploy decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), DAPPS, and smart contracts on the Vertcoin blockchain. Porting the EVM would permit Vertcoin to facilitate Ethereum style smart contracts on the Vertcoin blockchain. This is because the smart contracts on Ethereum and Vertcoin would share a common coding language called Solidity. It is this ability to use the exact same coding language for the smart contracts that enables developers who are able to make use of Ethereum to make use of Vertcoin’s EVM too. Of course, from the perspective of a Vertcoin user, this port would be important for the long-term health of Vertcoin


This how it would affect the size of the Vertcoin blockchain

Nobody likes a huge blockchain on the HDD of the PC

something interesting  - https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/56qiqt/cost_of_storing_data_on_blockchains/

The sizes in the link talking about costs per mb has to do with the size of the blockchain which is affected by the age of the coin and mostly by block time . Bitcoin is older so obviously it'll have a bigger blockchain and ether has a block time around 15 seconds so more blocks and transactions means bigger blockchain . I think vertcoin and litecoin share the same block time but litecoin is older so it's likely vertcoin has a smaller blockchain
