Lisk is now part of the Microsoft Azure Blockchain as a Service program. i have invested in Lisk but i don't think the microsoft news is that great.
Are we thinking of the same microsoft , the company that has famously for the last 30 years assimilated and destroyed open source projects for their own selfish gains?
The company that has destroyed open source projects so they don't actually have to come up with anything innovative themselves?
The guys at microsoft are not idiots and have spend their entire existence aggressively destroying any company that has posed a threat to them and their profit margins . The guy never claimed anything about his own intelligence being greater that that of microsoft or anything about a job or trying to become a CEO , such jumps to wild conclusions to a guy who only said , "it's not that big of a deal." when its very likely we will find out in the future anyways if it is good or not
I think it will definitely help adoption and spread the word and get more people using the coin, but do Microsoft have any hidden motives? most likely, history has shown us, that they almost always do.
You do realise that Microsoft has a new CEO who is absolutely amazing? Since he became the CEO the Microsoft shares went up 1.5x in value. Many are now starting to believe in Microsoft again. They became big supporters of open source and JavaScript.
-what are you going to do for standardisation or guidelines etc. for smart contracts? where do you see javascript limits?
-what about anonymity, privacy or just a fact, that, when i have to show my smartcontract to others, to confirm its legit, any one can copy it? maybe i am wrong, what are basic solutions? what about copyright?
-encryption?
-data storage? your choice is in alpha/beta development, how dependant are you from them?
-centralisation and decentralisation of your chosen proof of stack algo?
1. We are doing dapps not smart contracts, however with Chain of Things we are researching possible standardisation and ways to work together.
2. Just because code is open source doesn't mean others can simply copy it. If you have enough trust you can also hide the source code.
3. What is "our choice"? We haven't implemented a specific storage provider.
4. We had lengthy discussions about this. Go to page 150.
