Hi guys, I just wanted to post something about blocknet. I don't want to troll their thread, so I thought I'd post it here.
Here is their claim:
1. SuperNET calls are made via rpc to the coin daemon, yet the network uses a kademlia dht, like bittorrent. Plus, is he saying that bitcoin is not 'true p2p' because it uses rpc calls? Does he think SuperNET has a point of centralization somewhere?
2. BitcoinDark is not 'the' central currency to SuperNET. Does he not realize that SuperNET runs on top of the NXT blockchain? BitcoinDark is the first coin with SuperNET integrated and has teleport, yes. Is he saying that individual coins cannot be integral parts of the network by offering their respective unique techs?
3. SuperNET purchased these coins on the open market, necessarily raising the NAV of the SuperNET asset.
Are the blocknet guys ignorant of the facts, or are they being intentionally misleading?
Actually SuperNET will only have part of its tx on top of the NXT blockchain. A lot of tx will just be stored locally on each person's computer, with default encrypted cloud backups. So it isnt really a blockchain, more of a cloudchain or privatechainHere is their claim:
Code:
There are at least three fundamental differences between the Blocknet and Supernet:
- XBridge is not an RPC call protocol, it's a true P2P protocol
- There's no central or core currency, unlike SuperNET, which uses BTCD for this
- Joining the Blocknet does not involve 10% of a coin's money supply being bought and centrally controlled

Plus of course all the various coin's blockchains and ATOMIC. SuperNET is the farthest thing from being centralized, it will also connect enhanced BTC wallets. I think people still want to compare SuperNET to a single coin, but it is a network, so it cant fit into that comparison.

, so I'd go with "more the former than the latter." As so may complainers & trolls have been so, uh, good as to inform us, doing proper due diligence on Supernet is a tough job that requires a fair bit of time and some smarts. (Myself, I had to take a full day to understand it.) So, really, it's easy for the blocknet boyz to be just plain ignorant of the Supernet facts - so easy, I have to peg it as the common-sensical choice.
