Curious, why everyone persists to compare XEL to Golem.
Why not comparing it to SONM?
SONM team has proven top-notch software professionals on board + a lot of money raised through ICO.
They are the real danger to XEL's future not Golem.

Everyone, expecting price rocketing now, would also try to take into account that
the current XEL price is 20-30 times higher ICOs price...

A great article written yesterday about XEL. Please read and retweet :

It's somewhat chaotic, and repetitive but collects a lot of information in one place.
I like this the most Smiley

Another advantage is that their competitors, are not actually taking them seriously. This flying under the radar, will be a key component to their success.

Yes, the article is somewhat chaotically written and you can see where some of the information has come from the old white paper and refers to XEL as ELC.  But the basic argument of the article is a positive one.  :-)

Have some questions.
1)Is there any forging pool for XEL?
2) How fast the Elastic  (in terms of FLOPS) might be when fully implemented?
3) Does  Elastic's FLOPS depend on the number of nods involved?

click start forging at top of web wallet page

I suggest you consult about that before you start forging like that from the web wallet because from what EK said in the past it might not be so safe to do in some instances. Make sure you are protecting yourself well.

Install a local Elastic node (ie. on a laptop) and use it to forge.

Where does one go to install a node? I'll play around with it on my laptop when I get home. Is there much setup on my end or just download and enable forge?

non increasing supply - 30mill starting point from exchange, amazing unique tech, this one is ready for x 100

well everything is possible in crypto. but that would make XEL top 5.

I have faith in this project. Since i dont know who is behind it, i'm worry, but for majority of investors i think some more transparency is needed. Also some news about the project should be released on BTC related news sites, so more people would know about it.

This project has anon devs and active community members (to the most part at least). In my eyes these core members in this project have proven themselves reliable and trustworthy much more than most less anon individuals in other projects. Facts speak for themselves.
Those who feel too uneasy with people keeping their privacy, should look elsewhere.
Those who can see the true value and potential in this cutting edge project, and have faith in the people who are involved in it, are more than welcome to be part of this community and get involved.
I agree that more PR and information should be supplied to the general public at large and the crypto sphere community in specific. I have no doubt that this will progress as we move on forward.

$1 billion dollar market cap by 2019, I'll quote this post when it happens.

It will happen before 2019!

Maybe... but ICO price was just 800 satoshi and people are dumping elastic to fix their huge profit. I don't really expect the price to rise until this sell off is over.

how is this project better than golem network? how far is the "supercomputer" tech from being ready?

Prototypes are already running but a final version is (imo) still some months away.

There are several differences in comparison to Golem. One is for example that Elastic allows custom work-jobs being processed using an own programming language. While Golem focuses (at least at the moment) on predefined jobs and only very very longterm could handle custom designed work jobs.


But it may happen that Golem's predefined jobs could be much faster and more secure than Elastic's custom jobs. We have seen a video where Bitcoin was mined, how can we make sure that a custom job doesn't contain malware.


That's an excellent question.  I'm not the expert in Elastic PL, but I don't think you could write malware in such a custom built language.  If I'm wrong, please correct me.

This is a really good question. I'm pretty sure for now, the answer is yes, you can write malware on it.

However, I am pretty sure, those working on Elastic are aware of that. For example, this is where the supernodes discussion came from: possible ways to fuck up Elastic would be to write jobs which contain infinite loops or jobs with absurdly high complexity, so supernodes were proposed as gatekeepers, looking over job code, before aproving it.

I think supernodes are still being tentative, and coralreefer isn't really happy with them afaik
