The "transactions" (custom json) on chain are like deposit slips at a bank. You can write you are depositing $10,000,000 but it doesn't mean jack if you don't have the balance.
In other words, you cannot trust any of the custom jsons on chain unless you play from block 0 and maintain a balance to validate each and every one for every transaction.

That's exactly what I wrote.

Yes, I just wanted to clarify to those reading the thread that the custom jsons in themselves are useless, this is important as the way it is described by Engine team suggests otherwise.

If there were several instances of Scotbots owned by several different people that all had to come to an agreement on the next transaction generated by Scotbot then I wonder how much would that slow down the thing. Scotbot seems quite slow. If LeoFinance begin or Splinterlands or some other app begins to attract large numbers of users, then the lack of capacity could be a problem.
There is one scotbot for all tribes and it watches both Steem & Hive. It's also not well optimized from what I have seen.
Splinterlands does not depend on Scotbot, only tribes.

That's the problem.
Yes.
Ok. But the Tribes use Scotbot to calculate rewards, powering up and powering down and stuff like that. Does Scotbot have any contracts available that any of the games make use of at this point?
I don’t believe so
In fact, Yabapmat clarified in another post that Scotbot only does the reward calculation and such for the tribes. That it's a separate service from Hive Engine. It's bad performance is apparently due to the fact that it's just a minimum viable product put out "to keep Appics on Steem" as Matt put it.
