RE: Steem Is Dying

in Hive Think Tank5 years ago

I have my doubts that Steem can run as TRON smart contracts without considerable simplification. Most likely they'll run as parallel chains with maybe atomic token swaps. We'll see what they decide to do.

Yeah, the problem is Steem has scaling solutions in place such as MIRA. The Steem witness nodes store the chain on solid state disks instead of expensive RAM. What kind of a storage medium do Tron witness nodes use? Then there's Hivemind to running in near-sync with the consensus layer. There's Jussi for caching and load balancing to direct API calls to the optimal steemd servers. How would that optimization be done for the Tron virtual machine? There are many open questions. Porting Steem to the Tron blockchain might be difficult to do while preserving its ability to scale at a low cost.
