if seen against the others, only, it's a breakthrough.  The messaging in particular is a new approach.  An old approach in CS  ... but because of the UTXO state mindset never being challenged by people who'd learnt their trade within Bitcoin, it was not seriously tried in blockchain until Bitshares 2.0.

And that reveals it's not actually a breakthru - EOS is a progression of 4 steps:  Bitshares 1 -> Bitshares 2 == graphene -> Steem -> EOS.

each was a progression with improvements.  EOS adds arbitration and constitution to the Steem base.  These are things we've done before in CAcert, so we know they work in principle.  If we get to add in the CAcert  approach then seen together the governance thing will be radical.

So I think EOS is up there with the others in a big way.  The one that is most in trouble is Ethereum because it's stuck on its old codebase and its cutesy approach to everything - locked in to legacy baggage.  Whereas if BCC takes off and some of the things that CSW talks about take fruit, it could do a lot to repair the damage.

And Corda owns the finance world.  Ethereum was big in 2016 there, but that's all over now.  So Ethereum is facing a 3 fronts war.

whereas everyone else is just battling Ethereum

Sorry if this has already been covered in this thread, it's a long thread and search isn't helping...

What's the value in the current token? Both the site and whitepaper disclaimer that it's worthless.

From the whitepaper:


So from what reasonable speculation is the value of the token derived?

You didn't even try to find the answer or read any of the pages or read any of this page. And for that reason I won't give you the answer to your question

Thank you, is there an official source you can cite providing information on how this exchange will work? And the asset to be exchanged for?

Just claimed some tokens. The gas price and limit suggested by MetaMask resulted in 3 times failed 'claim' (but it nonetheless costs money). After the 4th time using upper limits, the claim went through. Bye bye $50 just for claiming some tokens.

This Ethereum thing is broken...
