Been reading the EOS white paper. Looks very promising. I've been imagining how I would write some of the classes to make smart contracts more generic. I really would like to start writing code once I fully understand the concepts. I've only been involved studying crypto since spring and started investing shortly before that. I've seen almost 10x gains so far this year. Astonishing.
I've been a software dev for well over 20 years. Wish I took some time back in 2009 to see what was going on. I was so involved with my own projects that I missed the technical disintermediation code that potentially gives pink slips to authority.
EOS. I’m sure the rest of you caught the interview Berwick did with Dan Larimer about 5-6 months ago. I happened to catch it and took off to Kraken right after. That interview I happened to catch has me up between 97 and 125% right now. Good call, again, @jeffberwick
I know numerically (and I like numbers), considering the supply, enormous gains don’t seem likely, I get it. Usually I stay light on the technologies with a massive total supply. They seem to be steady pump n dumps and that’s about it, in my opinion. It’s when the EOS team detailed their goals, that’s when they got my attention. Unlike most every other developer out there who is looking to take over Bitcoin or take over Ethereum or take over whoever, these guys are different. They didn’t mention anything about the #1 or even the #2 spot, rather they mentioned PayPal. Spoke directly about transactions and transaction time PayPal currently has. That’s a pretty awesome sized challenge. If competing with someone as large as PayPal requires a supply of a Billion then so be it, I can’t predict the outcome but I liked their enthusiasm enough to get in on it fairly early. EOS is also the farthest back there in my rear view mirror.. say it does do something spectacular, I don’t anticipate seeing that for a good 16-20’ish months.
Nah, don’t let me confuse you. During that Interview, Larimer was comparing transaction times and fees of high ranked cryptos to time and speed of PayPal. He was pointing out how quickly PayPal can do transactions and how many thousands per second they can do which gave me numbers I could relate to as he elaborated on the objective of EOS. Don’t worry, I’m still pretty new to this stuff too. @jeffberwick has been real helpful as I’m sure you’re aware.
