Thanks for you guys hard work providing an option for Steem dApps :)
I have two questions.
Firstly, on the steemsmartcontracts repository, it says
- implement the P2P layer
- implement the Consensus layer (PoS? DPoS? other?)
features are on the roadmap.
Does that mean only Steem-engine team (a central server) is able to create blocks on the side chain and others can only verify them at the moment? How is the timeframe for P2P / Consensus features get implemented?
Secondly, is it possible for Steem-engine tokens to be listed on major exchanges in the future? I guess that's only possible after P2P / Consensus layer gets implemented, and the consensus (maybe using ENG token staking) should be distributed enough so it won't get 51% attacks?
Some notes from @harpagon
"we are not the only to be able to run a node, but without the consensus layer, we are, I guess, the most trustable one
the tokens can be listed a conventional exchange, as long as this exchange has a Steem account
the tokens will be held by the Steem account (and then the exchange will have it's own ledger, trade history on it's side, like binance does with Steem/SBD for example)
but yes, all that requires to have a trusted network of nodes"
We're tentatively expecting the p2p/consensus layer to be done in the march/april timeframe (crystal ball is brand new here)
i had no idea we were ok to use witchcraft in steem!
i had no idea the business world was this cooky and silly lol
i love this idea tho and a crystal ball isnt witchcraft, atlanteans were using crytal spheres i mean its justa a sphere
hey 9 months later you did pretty good aggroed!
9 months in can you give me a 3 sentence assessment of how well you think you did? and what you wish you had now?
I feel liek we are still needing a network of ENg nodes? We can have that with eosdac eos eng :)
i also wanna have some system of ENg nodes im sure you guys have that planned, like steem based ENG nodes that you can stake like 1000 or 10,000 nodes
wait is ENG miner that?
hehe im so stuck in POW world sometimes :D I forgot you have Engine Miner and EM4...
I guess what I really want is for @vessel or my fork @fireboxwallet to have stem engine in vessel
I join the question - is there also a point to join newcomers ??
