Excellent looking project, am considering investing in this. My main question is how does this compare in uniqueness to Blocknet?
Both are good. I am now interested in both of these.
Shift currently has a marketcap of 113 million usd, block currently has a marketcap of 230 million usd. Both will be releasing new technology which they have been working on for a long time. both have a competent team. Both have a lot of potential for growth. My personal favourite is Shift becuase I have followed the team for a year now and I am astonished by their professionality and transparency.
Like Warren Buffet says : invest in value and you can't miss the ball. Shift has real life value and use cases.
This quarter Q1 of 2018 they will be releasing their flagship product called Phantom, which is basically a Dapp SDK tool. spelled out as : a decentralized application standard development kit. Or in common english : a tool for programmers who are fluent in javascript to build and design websites on the new internet called.
By new internet I mean websites hosted on an IPFS cluster. And by IPFS cluster I mean InterPlanetary File System. Basically it is a much more efficient storage system for hosting websites, which relies on a decentralized storage system rather than a centralized storage system like HTTPS.
Shift has built their new website on Phantom and have released their website (as promised) on the 31th of january. Check it out and see for yourself how blazing fast it is as compared to https sites. And the best thing is you don't even have to install anything. It is just merged seamlessly into the old web. Now that is what I call true innovation!
