Seems like more projects are starting to encroach on portions of Alexandria's use cases. I've been following you guys for years and have never really worried, there hasn't really been any competitors/contenders besides LBRY and I think you have a better model technically and economically... but some known devs who will almost assuredly get significant VC and ICO funding are starting projects that, for the first time, make me think they could undermine AP2P's potential success. Not because they are strictly better, but because they may capture a lot more momentum and turn out product quicker. I feel like first mover advantage will dominate the incentivized media sharing sector for potentially years. Flixxo especially has my interest piqued while also causing me concern for AP2P's chances in fending off this market capture.
This project is so much more than Flixxo, but I still think Flixxo is biting at the main feature that will make the market, and once their infrastructure is built it will be trivial to expand into arbitrary artifact support.
Do you have any thoughts on the accelerating landscape and how it might affect your eventual move to market? Is this project suffering financially in any way, or could it be accelerated if you all received direct funding? Are you guys discussing these sorts of things? Would love any insight you may be able to share.
Thanks guys, not trying to be a hater/FUD - i've been a huge cheerleader for FLO/AP2P for years and you have even known me under different names, I'm just curious as things seemed to have gone quiet while real competition is now on the horizon IMO for the first time. Still rooting for FLO/AP2P!
