Let me ask you differently:
Why do you need new coin which has similar features as BTC or other altcoin. Do you think that trading can't be done through bitcoin/ethereum network?
Lazslo and pizza is something different. Lazslo paid pizza with first cryptocurrency Bitcoin which has today biggest security through mining and has marketcap over 40B and has millions of users? Bitcoin is cryptcuurrency, Ethereum is smart cotract coin,.... Why do you need new coin like suncontract coin? Whats the benefit of new coin? Speculation or else?
Don't misunderstand me... I support new project with viable solutions and I invest money in new technologies. I work in IT secotr for 20 years, 3 years in crypto. I only have a lot of questions that needs to be answered before investment.
Gregor: Thank you for the answer.
At first we considered creating a new blockchain for electricity trading, then we reconsidered and right now we're looking into ETH for that. But things may change until Q1 2018. We don't want to choose one platform (ETH or BTC) and stick to it no matter what. To say that we know the answer to all of the scaling questions would be unwise - we don't, but we're certain that we have the right people on board that can develop a scaleable platform with proper funding.
Startup investors say: "Don't invest in ideas, invest in people." We're expanding our team every day - some people are listed and some are not. Just recently we've onboarded Mr. Gregor Karlovsek, Director of Sales & Trading at HSE group - a holding company with more than 8000 GWh annual power production - and Mr. Tomislav Mucic, CEO of Netis, the company behind CreditBit.
