Considering EOS for Novusphere: Vote Guide Novusphere Medium
https://medium.com/@thenovusphere/considering-eos-for-novusphere-vote-guide-500dfb5261ef

For a general summary of pros/cons, please see our previous blog post and consider listening to recordings of the meetup discussions.

That's quite interesting. I read this:
https://medium.com/@thenovusphere/considering-eos-for-novusphere-vote-guide-500dfb5261ef and this:
https://medium.com/@thenovusphere/considering-eos-as-novuspheres-blockchain-layer-247cd744127,

understood I can vote for using EOS as blockchain layer, or against that, however didn't find the answer to a simple question - what is the suggested alternative?

So if not building over EOS, which way the project is supposed to go - using own blockchain (as was initially planned), or building over Ethereum, or building over NEO, or building over XXXX...?
I.e. if I am voting against, what I am voting for?

Voting against is a vote for the status quo plan which was to build out own blockchain tailored specifically to our needs. This is very much still possible and doable, however it means there needs to be a much longer "testing" phase, specifically a testnet even after everything is done to properly ensure the security of the over all platforms. Using an existing blockchain can piggy back off the existing security model and the fact that said chain's code has already been audited/well tested.

I'm not sure which meeting it was, but I previously went into detail as to why Ethereum isn't a great choice for this -- or any fee based blockchain. It completely ruins the user experience if to add content to the platform you need to pay to do so. Imagine paying everytime you made a facebook post, or a tweet, or shared something that would be useful to other people (content). This goes in turn as to why DEXs feel bad to use because you lose money in fees simply for using them.

Thanks for info, I appreciate it. I would personally refrain from voting now, until we see what is happening with EOS in the next weeks. I would not consider it a projects where "chain's code has already been audited/well tested" as of yet. Too fresh and risky, and also prone to huge turbulence, conflicts and controversy (as anything with Larimer involved). I guess there are still few weeks open for Novusphere voting.

BTW, what is your own position on this question? Do you feel its low risk to rely on EOS, taking into account current state of EOS development?
