I know buterin and larimer met up in vegas this yr and larimer convinced buterik about dpos maybe now is when they switch.. another notch under the belt for
bitshares
bitshares
I see that as a negative.
Bitshares had had to change itself several times for flawed assumptions. DPOS probably won't be any better than POS. And the fact that Vitalik was meeting with and changing its own model just this summer goes to show just how incoherent their whole concept is a well.
Or it just never works at all.
i've said before that it's possible that the blockchain may only be applicable to Bitcoin as money. perhaps if the Bitcoin price gets so high that it becomes impractical or expensive to embed Bitshare stock certificates into an OP_RETURN. or simply that the core devs continue to restrict competition from Bitcoin 2.0 platforms like they did to Satoshi Dice and CP. i'm not saying this is necessarily how it will play out but simply a scenario that needs to be considered.
The value of the currency of bitcoin causes no impracticallity for this particular technology which simply use bitcoin as an on or off ramp to its ecosystem
Maybe this has implications for counterparty?
While he is at it, maybe he can fix Rickards too... and get him to stop using the #bictoin hashtag and use #bitcoin instead.
