Can both theories and teams work on the one chain?
No they can't!
So the gap is far to great to bridge for the two teams to work on the same chain. However the investors are that bridge since their investment is still funding the efforts of both teams as it should be.
but then as a shareholder in both products which will benefit fro both success while is insured against a failure of one firm. Best deal ever for the investor, worst deal for the developer.
let is compete and indeed merge and fork and whatever.
I think both teams want to find truth and work ability and usability..
Lets not infight. But go back to the roots of exploration.
Can this work out?
That is what I try to do, and it should workout even if the disagreement continue.
Unlike Tezos and Cardano Tauchain and Autonomic are developed by the original thinkers and developers who came up with the concept to begin with. So they dont need hundreds of developers and other team member to make up for the the luck of clarity in their goal, they can pretty much do it through their own work.
