@keystonelemur I find you far more toxic than DHH, who has done far more for the ruby community than you ever will.

I just published On the Origin of Polkadot comparing Polkadot's tech (including the Edgeware smart contract platform) to Ethereum's https://t.co/nnKeFO80LD

@0xstark This series (authored by me) provides an objective, often critical, technically deep analysis of Ethereum and competing smart contract platforms. https://t.co/TxlqdFi2CU

@rzurrer @technocrypto @ameensol @DeanEigenmann @SpankChain @polkadotnetwork Ethereum is definitely *not* "loosing its lead" to DFINITY, EOS, NEO, Cardano, Tezos, Lisk, QTUM, Waves, Aeternity, Stellar, or Zilliqa anytime soon. So is Tron you're worried about?

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@CryptoSdy That basic math would work if Stellar limited ledgers by operations, allowing as many transactions as possible per ledger. However, Stellar has a hard limit of 50 transactions per ledger, so with a ledger produced every 5 seconds it can only support a max of 10 TPS.

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

Will Stellar unseat Ethereum as the dominant smart contracts platform for financial applications? We explore this question in On the Origin of Stellar https://t.co/kVDicubqGT

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

I just published "On the Origin of Zilliqa" comparing Zilliqa's sharding technology to Ethereum's and looks at the safety features of Zilliqa's smart contract language Scilla. https://t.co/2dAA0NryOK

I just published "On the Origin of æternity" a deep dive into that platform's technology looking at how it compares to Ethereum's https://t.co/Slla1PV0H8

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@JamesORiordan11 Thanks! No opinion yet but they are both in my queue.

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

I just published "On the Origin of Waves" exploring that platform's technology and comparing to Ethereum.

@trusteddapps Thanks and stay tuned

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@PerlebachStefan Thanks! Let me know what platform(s) you’d like to see covered.

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@belowsearcher Absolutely. The reason I chose the threat level metaphor was because these assessments are expected to change as events unfold.

@JTHODLER Thanks! Your support is greatly appreciated!

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@JTHODLER Sorry for the late reply. Yes I will be publishing an article on Waves Platform in the next few days. Thank you so much for your ETH donations!

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@JTHODLER @SovCryptoBlog @QtumOfficial Much appreciated!

[Ed Posnak @EdPosnak]

@i_savor @SovCryptoBlog @QtumOfficial To be clear, the article says "a BFT algorithm that can produce a block of 15–20 thousand transactions every 15–20 seconds, can achieve throughputs on the order of 1000 transactions per second." It does not say "1000 tps for NEO" https://t.co/Sf7Wv3f0zY
