Hi, it stated that DECENT is based on modified bittorrent protocol.
Is there a connection/relation between DECENT and Ethereum? Maybe something like ethereum platform is used to creating DECENT platform.
Is DECENT POS mining open for everyone with wallet, or just for publishers?
Just wanted to clarify.
DECENT Data Distribution Layer is currently based on modified Bittorrent protocol. We are going to integrate various data distribution protocols in one of our milestones depicted in our
DECENT Development Plan.
Ethereum is a Turing complete smart contracts programming platform.
DECENT is a decentralised content distribution platform coming with predefined smart contracts and APIs.
DECENT is not using Ethereum, as this choice could introduce unnecessary bottlenecks in the system. We are focusing on real world applications with millions of users that would benefit from blockchain technologies, such as decentralised Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, Steam, iTunes and much more.
Check out
DECENT Video for more details.
DECENT uses a PoC - Proof of Custody algorithm further described in
DECENT Whitepaper and
DECENT Yellowpaper where this is described more in detail.
As DECENT Network is an open protocol, there are literally no limits of its use.
