Are there any real software developers here?

What are your views on ETH? Moonshot or scam?

Both.

How could it be both a moonshot and a scam when the 2 contradict each other?

yes it would be great to get a developer's perspective about all these techs and see what are the most attractive
unfortunately Jow Forums hates crypto

Goes to Moon, still a scam

Moonshot and scam go hand in hand dude. Lol if you think legitimacy is the most important thing in crypto

Because Jow Forums came from a divided Jow Forums newfag. Most of us oldfags are developers from Jow Forums

And what is your view on ETH?

its likely both

This

full stack dev of 6 years + dabble in smart contacts
whether you like it or not, eth works today, no distant promises needed like a lot of "eth killers", has spectacular documentation(this is very important), and is still the defacto platform if you want to make a dapp, I don't see that changing. It's made & designed by developers, for developers, and developers eventually influence execs what tools to use.
I'm 25% in ETH so also clearly biased, take that into account.

>randomness
doesn't that already work? what about all the casino games?

WOAH, this might be the first ETH thread so far in the last 2 years here that doesn't have someone inserting his ETH killer™ shillpasta.

Just wait bro :))

It'll probably happen now, but it is actually very impressive that it hasn't happened already.
I guess that Jow Forums dying has been a positive thing.

I have 9 eth, millionaire when?!

>and is still the defacto platform if you want to make a dapp
yeah but dapps dont work on it. look at cryptokitties. probably never will scale

All the retards have been sucked up by creg Satoshi like a massive lightbulb for retarded moths

Nah, if you rely on blockhash then it can be manipulated by miners, and if they rely on an oracle, then it's not a trustless source of randomness. Eth gambling sites usually rely on those, or aren't even dapps to begin with. Cryptokitties has an oracle for example that's called when you birth eggs or whatever it is you do there.
Beacon chain might really simplify eth casinos but that's really not the objective, having a source of randomness that can't be manipulated or accurately predicted will be the thing that lets the system distribute workloads randomly and hopefully trustless manner. At least that's how I understand it so far.

>dapps dont work
I can literally go on crypto kitties and buy a kitty, literally right now and it's gonna work
at least word your fud better
and scaling is being worked on

2036

I just received BAT for having BAT Ads on in Brave, and the ad was for "State of the DApps" website with various ETH based games.

That's pretty cool. That's a working platform, and it's only going to get stronger. I think this is pretty spot on.

But but b-but next eth no.4234324 got 4234234 tps, scales, everyone diching eth for it soon!

what about all these PoS coins that randomly choose validators?

I don't think you can pull "true random" on chain same as really solve "oracle problem" its about closest workaround desu.

like what? if you mean things like EOS and ARK then it's delegated POS and the randomly chosen validators aren't random. I don't follow every coin so I'm not familiar with what you're referencing.

Well the beacon chain tries to do just that, we'll have to see in practice if it works or not. Idk if anything can be truly random, in CS nothing can be random, but if it's spread out enough, can't be manipulated & predicted, then it'll be good enough.

When will you learn it takes multiple point of views and expertise to accurately describe why a coin has value. Asking a programmer why a shitcoin has value is comical

but muh centralized shitcoin can do 1000 tps

ONLY $100 MIL MARKETCAP

i played cryptokitties at the start. worked fine until it got popular and then fucking died. $30 transaction fee to buy/breed a kitten. yeah it works fine now because no one fucking plays it anymore. any popular dapp will die on eth.

scaling being worked on. delusional fuck. it will never scale.

Solidity dev. Its the only legitimate option right now but competition is coming soon. Polkadot or cosmos may implement real scaling before ETH 2.0.

>actually playing cryptokitties
there's your problem right there chumbo

This narrative right there is what buyed me time to grab as much eth as i can and thank you for it

On other hand you are retard.

Why why wouldn't it scale?

Everything will scale eventually.

Internet had "wont scale" debate for 10 years and we are talking about physical infrastructure not just code as case here.

this, ride the wave and get off when your in the green.

I think it's an interesting proof of concept, but the overwhelming portion of it's value is derived from it's usefulness as a vehicle for fraud, and not prospective business value.

I think I understand

what I don't get about dapps is that, from what I understand, every thing you do on your smart contract code costs gas. So for example if I have some app or game built on it, how can the user do simple things like changing the settings of something without having to pay money every single time?

Well game on bc (at least more than simple one) is not really blockchain usecase is it?
And its dumb idea.

That's why you see only gambling daps (decentralisation, easy transfer of value, low fees, anonymity, smart contract is public and inmutable bla bla=is good usecase for them).

Smartcontracts, NFT-s (underrated imho), STO-s (now ico scams are over) on other hand are..
