We know superior technology doesn't always win in the marketplace. So is the next challenge a marketing effort to gain influence and increase adoption for DPOS?
It depends on what kind of applications are built on top of DPOS. If there are services that can only work with high capacity blockchain, it's pretty clear that there won't be any competition.
But, of course, somebody has to build those services first.
That's a great point. If a Graphene, DPOS system is the only one that can handle specific use cases, then it wouldn't be a Betamax/VHS situation since we'd be the only available decentralized blockchain option. Maybe those verticals are a good place to focus our marketing efforts.
