There is no point to proto, it is a nerd thing, which i am not part of, because i really don't care about it. In my mind the 'testnet' is just like a prototype of Uno, hence Proto in the name. So how does this add any value to Uno, it does not. It competes with Uno by being a clone of Uno, yet with no value. Now instead of people buying Uno they can split their funds between the two coins.
I try super hard to stay optimistic but this is nothing to anyone holding Uno hoping it doesn't lose value. For the nerds who wanna see what side chains are all about without risking their precious Uno, i guess it is a cool thing? Never a good thing to split brands. Like Uno for her and Uno for him now.
Really the only way Proto is tied to Uno is that it was the testnet or whatever. I don't get it. It shits all over my original Uno by being a clone of it.
Should i just sell my Uno now before the market cap is split in half between the two? I really really fail to see how this is a positive thing for Uno but am more than willing to keep an open mind if anyone thinks they can explain how Proto is a GOOD thing for Uno?

I'm afraid I agree. I'm not even clear how this is a "sidechain" - I thought the point of sidechains was a defined relationship between chains with the ability to transfer directly between the two chains in a managed fashion and unless I'm mistaken this isn't possible?
Surely its is simply the Uno testnet with another client which brands the testnet coins differently?
Oh come on now, have some levity.
Yes, its simply a new client that uses the Un testnet chain as its main chain. You can send coins cross chains without issues. Its not designed to replace Un at all; its not shitting on your Un, it won't dethrone Un's position as a leading crypto-currency--its simply a new way to access the Testnet and enjoy mining again on a coin that's established. My post made this clear--or at least I thought it had.
Its not really not designed to do anything of the sort you 'doom and gloom' type think--just a way to use an established blockchain from an established coin in a new way and side-by-side with the original client. I'm not targeting anything else so please, if you don't like it, ignore it--its not anything deeper.
Like it or not, I think we're on the cusp of cryptocoin mass adoption and die off. The coins that will die off already are; the coins which will survive are those like Un that are merged and secure. As coins get more and more entrenched, why not mine some testnet sidechains of some of your favorites? Pr simply makes it easier for people to do so, and easier to build services and apps on as its got main-net features.
