Topic: [POLL] Projects By CODE Quality (Read 642 times)

Thank you, yes XMR and DASH are different coins, with different algos and purposes, the price argument is common to all the crypto 'currencies' and that's what people seems not to be understanding.

I aleready talked about this difference with both sides, PRO xmr and PRo dash, and came to this conclusion, the code just confirms that.

You can vote for a single coin, or take the time to gather more informations about the other coins. It is all up to you.

I voted but I am not sure how objective my vote was. I don’t know about the code of some of these coins. Mainly anyone of the coins listed below monero. I don’t know about PivX, Ardor, Lisk, Waves, NEM and augur. They are all new to me so I couldn’t vote for any of those.

Which means I am not qualified to vote to be honest. Which also shows the result of this vote would mean nothing when people like me can vote.

quite nice approach, I respect that.



Interesting. Maybe XMR can recover, since it's much younger than DASH, however it's an interesting insight.
I somehow expected them to be closer. (I learned something new today! )

Let's see what's others' opinion.

You are right, but you know, every one have his own opinion on bitcoin. that's why i added him.

Regarding the duality of XMR/DASH, trust me, by code quality and maturation, DASH is really far above XMR.
XMR devs should focus on extending the possibilities of the daemon and the wallet, or even better, fuse them which will bring a bigger ecosystem for them. the actual system isn't made for merchants integration and this is why DASH will stay above XMR, if they were to work more on these methods XMR would takeover DASH's place, because they have more aggresive supporters.
At least, this is my opinion for both @spoetnik: code quality, community value.

While I don't think that many are actually able to read the code and most of those that can, didn't check the code of more than 1-2 coins, I am curious of what comments will this bring.
Many will vote their favorite coins, so I don't expect the poll tell anything.
But I would like to see (by comments) the public perception on code quality, for the big rivals DASH/Monero and for some other coins too.

I feel like Bitcoin should not be in the list because .. Bitcoin is Bitcoin. It is expected that code is good and it's known to meet that expectation well enough.

You are totally right, and this is the main purpose of this POLL. I mean, comparing ICO shitcoins with legit coins, i know that Altcoin section is mainly used for speculation and ICO promotion, but i wanted to see the reaction of people regarding this point. As i expected, there is just a few answers.


This happens every day. On this point, bitcoin core team is always looking for developers to participate to the development of Bitcoin, regardless of your age, skills, gender or anything, as long as you can help, you are welcome. If you just want to have a look, and do some suggestions, you are welcome also.


Your poetry is legendary !


This is what i always repeat too, but they don't care about these informations, and this is why i explained how to check for such details in the code.
As of now, all the coin projects use the same BIP specs, just a few of them changed it (this is just an example)


I agree, Satoshi was a real master coder, but he didn't worked alone on Bitcoin, he was supported by many users who are still in the forum, or in the IRC chans.
For the code quality, Bitcoin is a flagship, followed by Litecoin. check both repos and you will find a lot of similarities, like "Sipa" who is working on both projects, and luke-Jr, laanwj , wtogami ... They are all developers who contributes to both Litecoin and Bitcoin (they contribute a lot this is why they are noticed).


Totally right, except the 99.99%, i would say 99.98% because there are some projects who are really good, but needs a lot more time to be matured. Regardless of the ICO thing, the code and idea are good, they should be given a chance to realise their objectives.


Just a note: a blockchain is a database, so i don't think that can create annother way to store datas, even if so, it would still be a database, so it is useless to try to recreate the car, especially if it is to end up with a "car".

Code quality is dependent on age / maturity in regards to security & stability.
It's not just about Hungarian notation or writing "good code".
You also have to gauge the result with the intention and then the track record of security & stability.

It's possible some poorly written hobbled together code by a noob could out perform a masterful pro job buy a team of experts.

Less is more.. that is the one thing i learned.
I quickly found out making my own projects that it was too easy to get trapped in a vicious cycle of adding shit on or re-writing it or tinkering etc.

It's about results.

And those scammy ass fucking ICO shitcoins suck balls.
When you talk about code quality and you bring up gay ass ICO faggotry it make me laugh my god damn balls off.

Why ?

Distribution.

I told you all 1,000 times and you still don't get it..
The distribution is the important part (especially the initial distribution)
And what did all those coins in the Poll options do ?
They side stepped the "problem" and went on to do an ICO.
That is like trying to make a new type of vehicle that runs on a revolutionary power source by putting some nice shiny wheels on it.

Dumb fucks.. the ICO is a statement saying hey I FAILED !
I didn't even try.. i flopped on my back and cried and gave up.
It's like skipping the start and jumping to the shit after..
When it's ALL about the start !

Are ICO's an improvement over Bitcoin ?
Nope.
They are a step in reverse.. an easy way out of a tough problem Satoshi tried to solve.
If you made an ICO you are not a skilled programmer.. but a lazy little bitch scammer douche.
If you had any talent coding you would make a better system than the BLOCK CHAIN.
But you "coder" assholes don't..
You mod the block-chain call it your own then tack on gimmicky bullshit after the fact then chant innovationz.

Every shithead Altcoin coder COMBINED does not compare to the skill in Satoshi's pinky finger.
A scene full of idiot douche bags.
Best code ? none .. 0.. zip.. nadda.

If i had to pick one off the top of my head that DID have some skill and vision etc ?
SunnyKing.
99.99% are useless little pieces of shit.

Thank you for your quality post, at least someone in this section is able to give valid arguments about coins.
Yes, i took my time to take a decision aobut adding ethereum (not for ETC which is even worse), the thing is that it is a popular cryptocurrency, especially because of the price, but i had to add it.
I also don't understand how developers are still interested by ETH because when i tried it, i felt like you described, a terrible experience with several bugs, when they started it was much better then now.

the problem with this question is that majority of people using altcoins are not interested in the code and what they offer, they just want profit from pump and dump (more money). and most of them don't even have the knowledge to check the code.

bitcoin
well it is obvious. the start of bitcoin was with Satoshi and then very knowledgeable people like Hal Finney who is a cryptography legend helped with the code and for the past 8 years it is being battle hardened and any but is found and fixed and improved.
not to mention all the code review it has gotten.

litecoin
is bitcoin. that is enough. the code is similar, it is actually a copy and the developers are good and has stayed around for the 7-8 years and have been working on it.

Lisk
i agree with what you said about it. i have not used it myself but i have read a lot about this coin and how easy, user friendly and fast it is specially with the usage of Javascript.

Ethereum
should not even be in there. the has had some serious bugs and they are not even fixed yet and there are lots more bugs in it.
and as for the wallet and the code, it is very terrible and nobody is satisfied with the experience they get with this platform.

PIVX
it is new and i have yet to check it out but the feedback i have been seeing seems very good and the project seems promising.

I recently noticed that many users in the forum don't know what means "Code Quality", so please avoid posting about the coin's prices, this thread is focused on the coin's "Code Quality" not the price.
Please also consider explaining your vote, the reasons who lets you think that a coin have a good code quality.


As i am the OP i will start :

Lisk: I like the efforts they deployed for the account management API, and they did great with nodeJS integration. The code is strong enough to let the node run for around 15 days without any problem (my own node)
Bitcoin: This one can't be argumented, the code quality of bitcoin is an objective for every Altcoin/Cryptocoin to achieve.
Litecoin: I like how litecoin is moving slowly but surely, and they have less concensus problems compared to Bitcoin, the code is clean, and strong, and she is the mother of a lot of Coins.

You can vote for multiple cryptos.
