like the fiasco we had few months ago, with the empty blocks. Iconomi postponed the token distribution because of network problems, remember? I'd say we have at least 100 pages of cry babies and bitching in this thread because of that, and that is just btt. Now imagine something similar with grownups, "old world" investors..
Ethereum is an infrastructure service provider to Iconomi and all other app tokens built on top.
What happens when infrastructure service starts to have availability and performance problems, such as email or cloud-based service?
Or when that infrastructure service needs to patch every week because of security flows?
So far, Ethereum, as such, has failed.
I don't even want to think about the scenario that some miners will decide to fork again in a future "upgrade".
Go explain to the same non-tech investors that suddenly there is ICN-classic stock, but no reason to worry - the team does not support or develop it.
If these forks and flows continue, Iconomi should seriously consider and test alternatives.
That can turn out to be a show stopper for investors! Stability is the most important part in the early stages of a project like that. You can't have trust without stability, and without trust - there is nothing.
Firstly, I would say that Ethereum although is suffering from many problems recently, but still it's the best option for smart contact right now.
If they use another blockchain for smart contacts, they have to use the same blockchain to pay the dividends.
I think, it would take much time to shift on to another blockchain.
Ethereum forks are a sign that Ethereum is actively bring improved. ( Also a sign that it has flaws). I think, many other blockchains would be having undetected problems in them. There are lots of developers on Ethereum, so many problems are detected.
I would say, that is best option to remain in Ethereum ( till there's a fork which makes smart contacts incompatible,
hehe , just joking, it would never happen)
