Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers
Can DPOS blockchain survive for a long run?
Please somebody highlight me for something that I dont know.
Because DPOS servers are depending on = total delegates.
LISK has 101 delegates. Meaning LISK has = 101 servers. And I assume, most of the delegates just using VPS server to running their nodes.
Can with only 101 server / VPS handle thousand of DAPPS like Ethereum? Including million of request / traffic / band-witch per-day?
Or did I miss something?
Look at Facebook, look at Google, see how many servers they are currently running to handle billion of request/traffic every day.

hey tech72
here some answers:
the number of delegates (101) could be increased in the future if needed and when the network grows.
most of the delegates don't use only cheap VPS, but pretty strong dedicated servers.
those servers on the mainchain don't need to handle thousands of Blockchain apps, because every blockchain app will run on its own sidechain with its own delegates. That's the beauty of the concept with the sidechains. The mainchain delegates need to handle only the traffic and transactions on the mainchain, which is basically sendind LSK, voting, and registering sidechains. All the traffic from apps are handled on their own sidechain by other delegates (depends on the creator of the app how his consensus works and who are the delegates, if any)
