RE: Beyond Steemit

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I'm not a developer but I know that Dan Larimar had completed a lot of the Stealth development before leaving Bitshares.

If you want to know the history it's here:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,22956.msg297816.html#msg297816

The work is now being finished by the Bitshares Munich team @chris4210 @kencode I saw their team in Munich in October and the work was nearing completion then. Dash is not even in Alpha yet is it?

Sort:  

That will never happen and the introduction in the steem whitepaper exemplifies the reason why:

Steem is the first cryptocurrency that attempts to accurately and transparently reward an unbounded number of individuals who make subjective contributions to its community.

Hard forks happen constantly and road maps change. I was involved in BitShares before it existed and that thing changed and evolved so much you'd never recognise it from its original white paper.

You may be right but let's see what happens.

I believe the blockchain is evolving and will continue to evolve ^_^

I don't see the benefits of stealth vs those of transparency. In fact I see people rightly steering away from secrecy and toward transparency.

Transparency in rewards is really important, but it's different from transparency of private property. Users need to have a way of hiding how much they own and what transactions they do with other users. I think this is one of the biggest challenges for SBD right now. There are a lot of people who don't want to show for the whole world what they are buying and selling so they don't even consider using SBD.
