RE: Bitshares 3.0: The Blockchain That Runs Every Other Blockchain!!!! Bet You Didn't See That One Coming???

Still looking for the best way to explain this. Bench puts a virtual wrapper around other chains with out interfering with their operation. From inside Bench then, all wrapped chains appear to be integrated. From outside, they remain unchanged for people who prefer to use them natively. And Bench can let you spinoff new chains natively with a single command in five seconds. It will take me a while to figure out how best to talk about this like I'm five.

Thank you for the clarification. That explains it well.

As for an analogy, that is a tough one.

It is like a bunch of wires housed in a clear casing. From the outside you can see the individual colors of the wires and how they are separate. If you were in the middle of those wires, it would all look like they were joined.

Or it is like looking at a forest from the edge in daylight...you can see each individual true. But in the middle of the dense forest, with the underbrush and vines, it all runs together.

Any of those capture it?

I like that vivid imagination of yours. The English language is tricky, but you are on the right track for sure.

Oh, okay. Sorry to appear mean then. Mea culpa.

So it's basically as if we think about all of the chains as virtual computers communicating together as if they are in one network and Bench is the virtualization software creating the network and providing the access to resources. Right? Sort of?
