Is ark the next ethereum...?
It's going to be much better, more flexible, more coding languages to work with and they already have instant/friendly token/blockchain/smartcontracts creation wallet, which till these days Etherium don't have. I believed Ark network also better and already have around 200tps. Ark is an all-in-one crypto.
but can you build things on ark like on ethereum? smart contracts, projects etc?
Yes, instant token/blockchain/project creation? Like I said I still not understand much about ARK but projects you talking about is like ARK instant blockchain creation. I think ARK is huge! Etherium just can't compare to ARK. I think Etherium is big today because Buterin is the first person attending every Bitcoin events to spread his project idea, I think ARK will do the same now but with better tech.
yes but when even you a hero member with ark sig doesnt understand much about ark than its pretty clear that they need to improve their idea comunication. i see this problem with decred also its fine when the devs and techies understand the whitepaper, but we normal humans need a clear and simple explanation repeated over and over again.
as i said as soon as the masses understand what this is about this will moon hard,tough i have to say they have one of the friendliest and most active slack ive ever seen!
