5. DApp ERC20/223 enabled

- thousands of other coins are also smart contract enabled.


5. The same applies to the smart contract functionality, the only thing we can say about that is that time will tell. Yes, many blockchain projects have smart contracts enabled but how many of them got widespread? so time will tell and show our plan, how we plan to use this functionality and how we plan to support the community and the developers willing to cooperate with us and be part of the network.

4. Constantly upgraded to remain ASIC resistant.

- No evidence yet, no Asic was threatening it yet.


4. As you said, there's no evidence to think devs won't keep the coin ASIC-resistant. We haven’t been challenged yet, but our team is active and monitoring the community and ready for an ASIC test.

2. Only public, transparent and trackable transactions, a condition that guarantees a botnet unfriendly network
 - atleast 80% of the coins are transparent.

3. Fast transactions with possible off-chain solutions and on-chain scaling via sharding.
 - Many other coins have fast transactions - ex. ROI coin, BTX, etc. Off chain solutions and sharding are not implemented yet.


2 and 3. Your other point, about transactions, is quite relative. You say that other coins have these features as well. This is a good thing, lots of cars have strong engines, yet it doesn’t mean that they are the same or can be compared (you can’t compare a Mitsubishi to a BMW, they're in totally different categories, even though both brands got respectable engines). We don't promote them as unique features, but as features that support the quality of our project. By the way, there's an open post on reddit to discuss about transactions speed, join us with your comments about it please.

If we check the first page, here is what it says:

1. Web minable.
 - many other coins are also web minable. Ex: - Monero, JSEcoin, etc.


I've decided to answer your questions in different comments.

1. To answer your point, we have to explain first that crypto technology all revolves around the same principle; meaning that some coins will share features with other coins. It’s the individual differences (code, team, community)  between coins what makes the real difference, so yes, we share some features with other coins, but the motive behind our project (our vision and implementation) is what makes the difference, lots of coins are webminable, but not all of them can be mined directly from web mining services, Webchain was added to the second most popular JavaScript miner (for example) while only Monero is widely mined on those kind of services. Since only Monero has been widespread for web mining, we are the only coin that is being popularly webmined in a transparent way.

This is a really interesting question, now that we've seen how some community members have released the GPU miners. Our advertising strategy has always been focused on saying that Webchain is ASIC-resistant, not GPU resistant. The fact of using the tag "CPU mineable coin" is because the only official miner released so far is a CPU miner and that the team has no plans to develop an official GPU miner.

It's not a matter of keeping our eyes closed, it's more about recognizing the power of the community on the project. On the other hand, consider that a bunch of CPU miners would have driven the difficulty up too, of course not this quick, but it would have eventually happened if more CPU users had come and started mining Webchain.

If you think like that though that would be like deceiving your users... AFAIK bitcoin is a CPU mineable coin also... You could download cpuminer and mine sha256.

Alberto was confused. We called Webchain "CPU minable coin" because CryptoNight gives no significant advantage to GPU miners vs CPU miners, so Webchain will always be CPU minable.

Thank you juice_099 for the correction! More information about this will be shared soon.

There are already a couple of similar projects to yours. Tell us how you are different from them?

Hi! I'd like you to share some of those projects so we can compare properly. It's actually interesting to do so.

If that is the major thing that they want to use as to how to promote webchain, then I am convinced they will be committed to ensure that in the long run.

Unfortunately you can't fork a coin away from gpu, unless you make the CPU miner closed source..  GPUS are re-programmable. you can fork away from an asic as its stuck doing one algo.
just sayin.

You can't fork away from a GPU miner but you can make a GPU miner useless... GPU's dominate CPUs by its processing power as it contains lots of cores vs a CPU that only has an average of 4 cores... But what a CPU has that a GPU doesn't is a high memory. If you make a algo memory intensive then a GPU won't perform better that a CPU. And that's how you make a "CPU mineable coin".

On Cryptonight 7, an AMD CPU 1700 mines about 600H/s.
Latest AMD consumer CPU to date is 2700X which mines about 750H/s

Only one CPU can fit per motherboard.

A single Vega 56/64 easily does 2000H/s. Atleast 12 of them
can fit on a single motherboard. So any claims that GPU mining
is comparable and has same profitability as CPU mining are ridiculous.

------------------------------------------------

If we check the first page, here is what it says:

1. Web minable.
 - many other coins are also web minable. Ex: - Monero, JSEcoin, etc.

2. Only public, transparent and trackable transactions, a condition that guarantees a botnet unfriendly network

5. DApp ERC20/223 enabled

- thousands of other coins are also smart contract enabled.


So we accept that since August Webchain is not CPU only minable (which was a unique feature).

Then what makes Webchain better than the rest Cryptonight 7 coins (or atleast a unique feature)?

Please understand that I like Webchain and I want to clear things out before I continue contributing to it.

This is unrelated topic but you are the master coder so I will ask away.  I have seen a cryptocoin that uses Japanses haiku, where cpu is used to randomly match words using haiku rules.  How difficult would that be to port over to gpu?   I am not coder so I wouldn't know, but it doesn't seem quantifiable.  Or maybe it can be.  I don't know.

Btw, new miner is cool.  Dev donation is more smooth and less duplicate shares.  I find that some pool does result in more duplcates, and higher the difficulty, less duplicates.  And thanks for 100k diff port.

I like that.  Airdrop will probably just end up dumped, and in big dilution.  I also respect the large premine.  I always thought large premine was important as dev needs to be rewarded for their hard work.  Its only fair, although there is some chance of scam. 

Having said that, I wonder what route dev will take from here?  Miners are always looking to profit from advantage and will look high and low to crack codes.  Even when some novel scheme is hatched to ward off crackers, its usually matter of time, until someone comes up with GPU or ASIC solution.  Only things that can possibly work is, always be ready to fork, with new codes ready.  This is huge undertaking, and big distraction from real development of cryptocurrency. 

I guess I will just keep keen eye as story unfolds.  So far, I am impressed with dev team with their industrious efforts and believe this issue will be addressed one way or the other.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work. 

Thanks for your support regarding the decision upon airdrops. The information about the premined coins has been shared with the community before and we're willing to answer any other questions that could arise about it.

You can consider it a fact, by saying that Webchain is and will remain ASIC resistant, devs feel committed to working in advance to stand up for those "threats" if the time ever comes. We appreciate your keen eye on this situation and we can assure you there's no need to worry.

What are your expectations on Webchain after being added to CoinIMP.com as mineable coin? Add your comments to the reddit post below:

Some people approached us with the idea of airdrops. We are against it - or at least against the concept shared on Wikipedia saying "A cryptocurrency Airdrop is a distribution of a cryptocurrency token or coin, usually for free, to a large number of wallet addresses, and primarily implemented as a way of gaining attention and new followers resulting in a larger user-base and a wider disbursement of coins. ".

The usually for free part is what we disagree with. It's so easy to start treating a coin as if it was worthless and start giving it away for free. We had no ICO and we are against using any airdrops for Webchain. It's simply too valuable in our eyes to give it away just like that. (small, limited competitions to win some WEB are planned by our marketing team though)

We think to give some coin a value, we cannot give it away for free in bulk. So, to get some WEB you have to work on it.

No free WEB out there for anyone!

That sounds fair. Now do we keep the *CPU only* as your signature says, or we use switch to GPUs for work?

The team is evaluating the current network performance after these community actions. As I mentioned in a previous comment, Webchain has the #ASICResistant tag and that's what the team assures they will stand up for.
