So speaking of other coins, I'm interested to hear what some of you think about the Agoras project. It seems to be very ambitious project which is in pre alpha since 2015 and based on a new programming language called Tau Chain (which is actually what is being developed for such a long time).
This is the announcement:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=950309.0And an interview with the dev:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFmaX-oumNw"Ontologies are expressed in RDF language family (Resource Description Framework), or simply JSON-LD.
We propose a software client that stores an ontology of local rules, and determines its actions using a Reasoner. Reasoners are tools that infer new rules or conclusions given old ones. They do it intelligently - using pure logical reasoning, and they also supply proofs for their results. Tauchain node is therefore an intelligent agent able to communicate with other agents, at the very same language they're written with, which is quite human-readable."
So this project goes in the direction of AI and perhaps comparable to the Wolfram Alpha project.
Also notable is that the dev, a guy called Ohad, and the originator of the idea, HunterMinerCrafter, have split up and are working on their own versions of Tauchain.
Edit: Sorry if this too much OT. Was just curious to know what some of the brightest minds on this forum think about this project. OP can go ahead and delete this post if too much OT.
I checked this out when it was first announced and followed the conversation between Ohad and HunterMinerCrafter and found Ohad to be competant but overreaching in his goals. HunterMinerCrafter is just brilliant IMO. Do you have a link to his project? Ohad is more of a programmer while HunterMinerCrafter is a cutting edge mathematician I believe. I do not see that project ever coming to fruition but wish Ohad the best as he's put a massive amount of time in effort into a lofty goal. I forgot the original name of the project but it changed direction after HunterMinerCrafter became involved and brought OHAD up to speed on some very deep subjects. You should go and read the original thread.
