Oh btw, I'm scoping our their GitHub and not seeing any mention of Steem. I also looked into their token protocol. It's uses Solidity just like Ethereum so I'm not really sure how that would work. Also, Steem is C++. Tron is Java. I doubt that porting everything we can do on Steem to a completely different language would turn out.
It's like recreating a wheel. To be honest, it's like we are getting ready to take a step backwards for a Steem Tron token when we should be moving forward with innovations (SMTs?) / cost reduction mechanisms for Steem. Is this really good for us?
Edit: They also have Python, PHP plugins but not seeing C++ anywhere. I don't think it's gonna be an easy port. This just doesn't make a lick of sense to me but what do I know.
they do not have a plan. Eli said yesterday the engineers had never met yet.
it's unlikely they will move steem to tron anytime soon. Will likely treat it as a sidechain, named Steem.
