I'll be interested to see details. Seems much less capable than ethereum.

Ethereum is a giant distributed virtual machine where every block is an updated state. This is not the same.
replied 2002d
if the virtual machine can't scale though,
what is the point of an updated state?
replied 2002d
You're a BCH supporter, so you aren't afraid of Bitcoin having a massive blockchain, but Ethereum's means it can't scale?
replied 2002d
I'm a "supporter" of efficient solutions
simple ones that make sense.

Increasing block sizes for smart contracts
with one currency.

Even I understand
that will simply work.
replied 2002d
kittykats thing proved it couldn't scale
scaling is critical.

it will solve a problem for most internet architectures
google,
facebook,
youtube,
netflix
alibaba
DHL
amazon
etc etc etc

a 2nd layer) needs to compete with the smart contract capabilities of ethereum is going too far. Let the money be money.
replied 2001d
How funny,
that's the money button :)
replied 2001d
Lol, what? The MoneyButton is not a smart contract layer.
replied 2001d
it might become one as a token,
early days.
replied 2002d
Depends where you're thinking from.

The utility of each block will serve purpose as money,
A system that enables functions increases the value
money is value is money.
replied 2002d
Kitties didn't prove the network couldn't scale, just that the network wasn't yet ready for that much traffic. The concept is exactly the same for BCH - its a matter of blockchain size
replied 2002d
It also proved gas is expensive.

BCH and ETH are completely different systems,
the two don't compare.

Bitcoin is built to scale
with big blocks,
that's what is being proven now.

*expensive for microtransactions

Which for me,
is the one of the main tasks of peer to peer ELECTRONIC cash

... people, thinking
to make a much needed resource economically viable.
replied 2001d
Ethereum was never supposed to be electronic cash, people just use it as such because its easy.

Be a BCH maximalist all you want - so am I - but don't bury your head in the sand.
replied 2001d
pulled my head out of the sand, heard this:
&feature=youtu.be

"casper's coming
serenity
new ways to govern.. "

and stuck it back in deeper.
replied 2001d
Lol, great point! I guess I will just drop all logic and reason in favor being guided by your personal jests!
replied 2001d
logic?
reason?

I must have missed something.
replied 2001d
Clearly.
replied 2001d
with my head so deep in sand it's hard to hear you,
were you saying ethereum will eventually be able to scale??
replied 2001d
I know you probably read a tweet from CSW bashing ETH, combined with Ryans tweet yesterday about MoneyButton being a 2nd layer - it is, but not for smart contracts.
replied 2001d
at the meetup I learned about opcodes SV will be (re)introducing
OP_MUL, OP_LSHIFT, RSHIFT increase range of numbers
increase capabilities 4 smart contracts.
Will be interesting.

replied 2001d
no, I didn't.
have been busy with Melbourne's BCH meetup and the stress test,
what did I miss?
replied 2001d
Craig just likes to make similar unfounded claims about Ethereum and BCH smart contract capabilities (though I suspect he knows better, and is seeking attention / pushing his agenda).
replied 2001d
Oh, so you're not a fan.
BCH will have to demonstrate why he's such a pain in the arse then.
replied 2001d
I don't like or dislike Craig. Don't know him.

I do, however, evaluate the claims people make based on evidence, and don't just listen to everything someone says because I'm "a fan".
replied 2001d
is bitcoin not evidence enough to substantiate claims?
replied 2001d
No. Saying "look at Bitcoin" is not enough to substantiate his wild claims.
replied 2001d
Pretty harsh, I see bitcoin as a solid proof of work to be proud of.
replied 2001d
What are you even talking about? I see Bitcoin, the internet, and ice cream as accomplishments humanity should be proud of, but that doesn't make the random nonsense CSW says correct.
replied 2001d
Yes, in the exact same way that BCH does...
replied 2001d
ok, time will tell.
replied 2002d
BCH= Memo, Yours, CoinText, EatBCH etc...

ETH= Cryptokitties and smart contracts?
replied 2002d
BCH = memo, yours, eatbch, oyo, bookchain, bitdb, smart contracts, memobutton, moneybutton, memochicken, cashport, handcash, keyport, mattr, bitsocket, bitquery..

ETH = terminally ill
replied 2002d
BCH = smart contracts

mortgages,
births
deaths
marriages

people to people
people to machine

supply chain

I agree that Bitcoin protocol itself is the best place for most basic financial contracts (like Satoshi first envisioned). However, the idea that the BCH protocol itself (without...

That includes blockspace efficiency, which is the ultimate scaling bottleneck for both coins.
replied 2002d
That's what the stresstests are (also) for,
increasing blockspace efficiencies.

The work2 improve bitcoin is being done
in a way that serves business.

I don't hear that for ethereum.
replied 2002d
Unless you change the base protocol or go 2nd layer, Bitcoin (BCH) isn't going to touch Ethereum's smart contract functionality, efficiency, or incentive model.
