All shards? Doesn't that NOT change anything except make a non-mining "full node" less than what is in a "non-sharded" blockchain?
Yes, that and 1000x bigger transaction throughput, and 100x bigger market cap. All while security and decentralization stay unchanged.
But I guess the masses don't care much about security nor decentralization.
masses who don't care about decentralization and security also don't care about cryptocurrencies and instead stick to their banks and other centralized alternatives. this is exactly why every centralized altcoin so far has failed over the long run.
in any case could you give us an example of sharding that is currently handling 1000x bigger transaction throughput?
