Yeah it's pretty exciting stuff. One of the reasons it takes so much time is the security of the system, performance of the client and also the complexity of decentralizing these things. Also because I'm the only coder, when life gets in the way, it causes delays. Regardless, this month I'm back to coding full time.
For example, Bitcoin has been working on the lightning network for years, companies such as 21 and others. Ideas that seem simple can prove to take lots of time to code. Also, in a perfect world I would love to start over from scratch with a team. Knowing what I know now about blockchains. It would be awesome to rewrite Bitcoin. There are so many ideas but it would only work if I wasn't the only coder.
It's not a surprise that we are seeing the rise of centralized blockchain such as Steemit. And we will see many more in the next 10 years. As predicted.
Yeah so this is why decentralized exchanges, side chains, notary, lightning networks and pegging systems are so crucial
Altcoins have the advantage of testing faster, forking easier, and trying new ideas.
The rolling peg is simple in theory however, it has tons of small features. The biggest challenge was finding a protocol that was decentralized and secure. The method chosen is really awesome. I want to write a paper on it, but some of the core members have advised me to wait before the release so it doesn't get used by the competition. It is tempting though.
Also thanks to everyone who still follows this project. Thanks for your loyalty. It really helps drive the project forward.
You scammed so many coins, and do nothing release, you and your balckshitcoin are both dead,. And how did you spend the fund? All on drugs and hookers??
Funny accusation from a new profile. Yet decentralized markets were released in Bitbay being a year ahead of OpenBazaar. But if your definition of scam is doing really hard work for money then okay. If I did drugs then I would not have time nor the focus to code.
To me scamming is what Bob Ryan Lin and Steven did... taking money and doing absolutely nothing. Well actually I consider that theft but okay.
But people who fud and propagandize to me are lower than thieves. No soul, no value, less significant than mosquitoes.
