Having announcements in this Bitcointalk thread would be advantageous, reaching the public more readily than everyone needing to go to many different login-requiring Slack groups, if following many coins. A lot of us already have dozens of other logins or more.
But the developments sound interesting.
The reason behind creating Jupiter is simple
Using any other blockchain would not be economically feasible. One example of my encrypted syslog application would create 29 million messages daily. In NXT terms and todays prices, that would cost this particular business $1,238,300.00 per day to store messages
I wonder how that works.
It would be technically possible to have a decentralized, distributed database which didn't reproduce all of its data on every computer. For instance, if 10000 computers have a blockchain, it isn't really necessary to reproduce 100% of it on each and every computer, especially for some types of data for which malicious attempts to modify are less likely. A more moderate number of copies of each portion would suffice.
Maybe that is what Jelurida is doing. Or maybe it is doing something else, if there is something I am overlooking.
