Off topic but I am so entirely sick of amp/mobile pages like this that just fail so hard at delivering the advertised content. Multiple reloads, pop-up conditionals, auto-scrolling...yuck. Clicking the link briefly flashes the title of the topic followed by a blank square with a “close” X then flashes a couple of times and I land on a listing of videos none of which are the op topic. I’m not using ie4 or something - this is the current version of Safari on the latest mobile device from one of the biggest phone manufacturers that exist! All on a “tech” website.

First world problems I know but goddamn is it frustrating.

Sorry for rant.

Ethereum is talking about 2020 as its target for scaling upgrades. There are other projects that haven't launched yet that probably have an advantage over them, as so long as it can integrate with Ethereum rather than claim it can totally supplant it.

There are projects like Cardano and Zilliqa, but then there are some like Orbs that are using blockchain virtualization claiming it can work in tandem with Ethereum.

I assume Ethereum will implement some of its solutions before that 2020 date, but they will probably need to rely on more partnerships to do it.

Great to see these young guys attempting to tackle these huge problems out of their believe that they can make "the world a better place". Not sure DLT will live up to its promise, but these guys truly believe the world is better off with trustless systems. And I cannot blame them, intermediaries, wether it be Google or Facebook, standing in between the user and the content creators, or banks, standing between creditors and debitors, haven't got the best reputation. A lot has gone wrong overthere, but I'm afraid DLT will bring entirely new problems to the table that we cannot forsee at this point. So I'm curious what the future will bring.

https://cosmos.network/ will also have an Ethereum bridge, as well as proof-of-stake.

Ethereum is novel and ambitious technology. In my mind, and I think in the minds of most in the community, scaling had always been the big, important challenge on the horizon - but it builds confidence to see just how far the devs (and community) have brought it till now. It's like everything is in place for that final push over the mountain.

Offtopic. DLT is basically a marketing fraud. Both "permissioned" and "permissionless" DLT are packed into one term. Problem is - they are vastly different. Permissioned DLT is not interesting at all from technical and social point of view. We knew how to do them for a long long time. Openness, permissionless is the key innovation introduced with Bitcoin. "Permissioned blockchains" are just repackaged tech with lot of marketing sauce.

Cardano has stalled for so long that I stopped waiting. I hear great things about EOS from people I trust, though, I need to look into that.

EOS is like a really expensive AWS. There is nothing revolutionary or decentralized about that.

I don’t know what you mean about Cardano, they have a very detailed roadmap and haven’t missed any major milestones I am aware of.
