What are you guys doing? Is it some greater vision or just the venal pursuit of cash?
There is always a greater vision.
And always the other one too.
Money is always involved.
As you say.
At expanse we have the luxury to buildings things WITH the platform, vs building the platform. There is value in that. However, the reason I didnt use ethereum, like r3 and others didnt use ethereum is, there is more freedom in building on a separate chain.
An ethereum developer has the luxury of building things WITH the platform, vs building the platform.
Could you provide an example of the extra freedom from building on a separate, yet identical*, chain? I suppose EXP gas is cheaper but most ETH devs would presumably run on a free testnet before going on the mainnet anyway.
The eth devs are solving entirely diff problems than the exp devs.
As you say they're building a platform and you are creating dapps and solutions which could have run on it.
Borderless.tech is to expanse what consensys is to ethereum
Expanse is a Consensys.but unlike consensys we are just solving different problems.
OK
I give you props. I threw down the glove and you met the challenge.
Although I remain unswayed I admire your chutzpah. I could argue if you really wanted to change the world you'd use Ethereum, a much more popular platform. However if you believe doing so on Expanse is the way to go then that's entirely your prerogative. And if Ethereum starts going off the rails
Blue-sky vision and helicopter-thinking*not identical - iirc you have slower blocktimes (not sure why though)
