Hi CapDero and Serena, I have a question regarding the virtual machine of DERO that will allowed to run smart contracts. Whit this virtual machine is possible to create tokens?
Thanks for your answer
Given the recent regulatory uncertainties around ICOs, Dero is going to make sure we do thorough research on the subject before we give a firm answer. They're not a bad idea, we just really need to make sure we choose the correct path, and for now, all paths are less clear until we have some regulatory certainty.
I find this to be an interesting answer. It means the Dero developers want to be regulatory compliant/friendly (like Cardano) despite being a privacy blockchain. It puts Dero in quite a unique position, quite unlike any other coin, I think. This and other responses from them (and the feature wishlist of Dero, especially the combination of privacy and transparency via certification/identity verification) reveal the Dero team to be extremely ambitious - they really are designing a coin for the big time, ready to challenge the likes of bitcoin and ethereum. (Probably 'coin' is the wrong term; we should really be calling it an asset or cryptoasset.)
I am still waiting to hear how the developers intend to solve the problem of scalability with regard to the energy use for any proof of work network. I know it is on the featurelist, but no information has been released as to how it will be achieved. I have asked that question a couple of times on this message board, and I have also asked it in private correspondence with the team, and have yet to hear any answer.
