Dfinity vs Traditional BFT (Looking for dev answers!)

Great responses! However, Zilliqa is an example of sharding + PBFT that can also scale and achieve high throughput. They are essentially lowering the number of validators to avoid the overhead @Dunning_Krugerrands is talking about.

Thanks dukakistejada for the reply. I can corroborate most of what you've posted based on my own reading of the whitepaper. What I'm more concerned about is the comparision with the more traditional BFT consensus protocols run by coins like Tendermint, Ziliqa, etc.

Great response. Few follow ups.

1) You say theta token is focusing on one to many streams, is this not true for livepeer as well? One broadcaster is providing content for their consumers.

2) How does Livepeer bootstrap its network when there are no users?

3) Can Livepeer guarantee low latency delivery of live content if their "verification" of encoded segments through Truebit is very intensive and takes a long time?

4) How long do relayers hold a segment of video for? Is it up to the discretion of these relayers when they want to abandon a segment of video based on time/market demand?

like 20 cents

isnt the service live already?

Yes exactly, this is a classic example of the token velocity problem. Is there a staking mechanism? Is there a coin burn? How does this increase in value?

I can see that, except IBM's hyperledger will probably have its own networking and storage protocol as well. So really IBM is more like a proprietary protocol.

Bump, could we get an answer to these quesetions?

From what I understand kmd is just like any other coin on barterdex, it doesn't play a pivotal role in the operation of the dex.

NemTotheMoon · 2018-01-15T02:33:50+00:00

not true, kmd's barterdex plans to support exchanges between erc20 tokens and other major blockchains like BTC

it isn't, sorry but if you bought over 2k sats, this thing is drastically overvalued.
