GoChain is a scalable, high performance, low cost, and decentralized cryptocurrency and blockchain that supports smart contracts and distributed applications.
GoChain's mission is to provide a scalable, low cost, energy efficient platform for digital currency and decentralized applications.
GoChain’s primary goal is to increase performance of Ethereum by 100x (and more in the future), so how will it get there? Well, it's start by replacing Proof of Work with something more sustainable, something that can’t be centralized based on who has more resources (or more money), and something that has the potential of handling a couple orders of magnitude increase in performance. Something like Proof of Reputation.
PoR has a relatively small set of nodes when compared to a Proof of Work network. Why is having a smaller set of nodes better than having thousands? Because you don’t have to keep thousands of nodes in sync. Do you know what the fastest environment is for any networked software? A single machine. Once you go beyond one machine, you have network and bandwidth issues to deal with. When you have thousands of them, these issues compound. If you’re only doing a few transactions per second, it may be OK, but when you’re doing thousands per second, it becomes very hard to keep a large network in sync.
I am curious if Ethereum issues its updates and as we all know it has a dedicated team and we should expect to see updates to tackle several bottlenecks in current architecture. So far we have seen it progress well and how homestead was a good jump. My question is Why another blockchain if the current one can be enhanced? I mean it is likely ethereum will push updates and all especially if Serenity is pushed (PoS) most issue will be addressed it may not be a 100x but still why not just enhance ethereum given it is opensource and all? If I am a miner what would convert me to gochain?
Hi, ibininja. Thank you very much for interest in GoChain.
Regarding your question, in PoS again you will have huge energy consumption. Plus, only "big players" will get rewarded, practically it is a closed system and we can't talk about decentralization there.
GoChain is offering new consensus, Proof of Reputation, where validators will be big companies and there is no mining, therefore no costs for power consumption.
