For those reading who may not understand why this is important, it's this: #Koinos will allow you to build dApps that don't have a first step of "purchase token". I believe this is what's required for blockchain to go mainsteam - delightful, desirable, and free-to-use apps with free accounts and no barriers.
If it cost even $0.001 to post a comment on Hive how often do you think you'd interact? That's why free-to-use matters and is what's missing from Ethereum and all of it's other smart contract chain competitors and clones.
would you say that the upcoming RC delegation feature on Hive would be comparable to what KOIN has (in terms of free to use)?
No because Hive isn't a smart contracts platform, it's an application specific chain. Other applications can certainly use Hive but they require layer-2 solutions which are ultimately centralized and the blockchain industry keeps proving to us how centralized things work out. Being able to launch a different type of app on a decentralized layer-1 is way more desirable because it offers you direct exposure to all other apps built on the network and in a completely decentralized way.
But if you put all of that aside, yes, the free-to-use nature of Hive and Koinos are similar. Instead of delegation Koinos uses payer/payee symantics for smart contracts. The big difference here is that a dApp owner can choose to use their Mana (similar to RC) for all of their users rather than making individual delegations. It's a lot more elegant and versatile.
thanks, this cleared things up :)
Claim feature need to be retard friendly for people like me :D
Welp... good news is that you'll be able to test that process with the v4 testnet tomorrow
enough would be a video that a 3-year old can follow :)
I think @motoengineer will be doing one maybe (the team might be also though, not sure)
