Regarding ARK, I just read the relevant section on inter-chain tech ("Smartbridge") in their whitepaper, browsed Bitcointalk, and elsewhere, and I can see no mention of their actual technical approach, of the security scenario, and/or of what services this tech can actually support. This doesn't mean it's bad tech - for all I know it's great - but from what I can see it's essentially a system of "dumb oracles" by which a node on one chain can be informed of a state change on another chain.

That is, it doesn't look like a system that can achieve "trustless" monetised inter-chain service delivery, but I'm open to being corrected.


Regarding waves, it's just a coloured coin approach. As such, as a trader, you'd have to deposit your coins for some underlying token in order to trade. This does not decentralise deposits. Additionally it requires you to trust some manner of intermediary to redeem your coloured coins for a real coin when you want to withdraw. My opinion on this is that if you're building a decentralised exchange, the main objective is to provide an alternative to having to trust some intermediary with your coin deposits. Coloured coins cannot achieve that, and so I cannot consider any exchange of this type a decentralised one.

Thanks a lot dude for this statement so this mean Block has no serious competition in this area right now. Block has very limited supply than it will skyrocket to the moon very soon and take it place where it has to be at the moment.

Crypto hunter I agree, I think Blocknet will easily surpass $5, When the Launch happens and all goes well. I think it will be in $150.00 range. Look at monero it's about $20 right now with a supply of 14,304,185 and doesn't have Blocknet tech. What would this trade at with the market cap of monero $292,257,378 ?

It's hard to price blocknet, the only thing I am certain of that it's going to be worth an awful lot

It's going to be one of those epic crypto pumps when it goes live.

People just learning about Blocknet now, make sure you join the Slack: https://blocknet.herokuapp.com/

The first psychological barrier broken, we all know this is just the start.

This project looks great but you guys need a slack invite on the front page.

Block is just preparing for big run this is good sign for long term investors. I'm quite sure block would be my best investment ever there is opportunity for people who missed the train of dash and ethereum.

It was delisted from polo. Polo guys are idiots. They were afraid of Block`s dx, they saw in block their competitor and got afraid of it.

Block was never delisted from bittrex:  https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BLOCK
