Why Monero no problems with asic-resist? What is "instant payments"? Transaction without confirmation? It's a scam?
"Instant payments" or transactions without confirmations seem like the same story as "mobile mining" without any real mining. So it is, from my point of view, new innovative approach from ETN to DLT technology - payments without confirmations and mining which is not real POW mining. Why you call it scam? It is an innovation!
Have they explained anywhere how those "instant payments" work in a technical way?
I'd believe that in order to achieve very quick confirmations you need some kind of a centralisation, like one or few people who can agree on a transaction quickly without waiting for miners. I might be wrong though.
