- consistent $4MM+ daily trade volume can easily absorb $10k to $100k+ worth of dividends going out every week
- most nodes out of any crypto (7000+) means very decentralized network
- cost of sending out 6000 dividend transactions every week
on ethereum: 2.5 minutes and 13.5 ETH ($160)
on bitcoin: 30 minutes and 1.5 BTC ($960)
- 2nd highest hashrate of any crypto (6 TH/s) means very hard to alter a transaction once it has been written to blockchain
As you can see, Ethereum is currently the only blockchain where it is feasible to launch a huge, dividend-paying project on. Ethereum is the only blockchain with a history of supporting tokens on its' chain with $100+ million market cap.
Better to pay ethereum miners fees to use their network, than it would be to pay several developers to maintain a new ICN chain, which would be more centralized and less secure than ethereum.
Now Iconomi can focus on fund management and building fund management platform, instead of wasting time and money trying to maintain and grow a blockchain.
maybe now...
but give it a year and you will see where eth goes. specially after a few more forks.
