#22| "What's Ethereum's killer app?" we asked ourselves not long ago. Now we know. It's the world's best publicly-accessible settlement platform for financial transactions. I don't see any evidence of this being true.
> world's best publicly-accessible settlement platform for financial transactions. Isn't that SEPA? Or Paypal?
It is, unless you're deemed untouchable.

#23If all you want is smart contracts then why stick to ethereum? As you stated there are plenty of different projects wich are far more scalable.
Please name five of many.

#24Its the stack. I can't get interested in any crypto currency or related technology that doesn't provide, at a minimum, a linkable C library or .. even better .. a luarocks module .. to do all the work.
If I even have to think about using npm or javascript to join the new hipster cult, I'm out. These tools are not up to snuff.
C'mon crypto guys, give us systems programmers the libs we need. Javascript is OUT. Your fancy DSL is OUT. Go C/C++ native, or GTFO ...

If I had to choose between scalability and better (more useful, more accessible, more maintainable) apps I would pick the apps. Ways to do real-world interesting things for people, buildable without any rocket science.
For the same reason that a startup with duct-tape code, scrambling to scale is better than a startup with no genuine demand.

#26A little OT but seems the right place to ask.
Is there any 'mainstream' crypto useful for micro-transactions with low-latency and low-transaction fees?
Or mainstream is what kills actually kills it?

#27The solidity language was never fun to me. I abandoned experiments before vyper and yul, the alternatives I know about, were out. Everything felt at the same time fragile and definitive. Bad things would happen if you “deployed” a flawed contract without the ever growing best practices of layers and proxies.
I have had more fun learning about finance and creating indices than I have ever had coding on ethereum.

Totally. None of this felt safe, or sane, ever.

Hey, I think you're making a valid point and I probably should have explained more what I meant by my statement. IMO, there's a middle ground we can go between slow PoW on L1 and scaleability. I think that it can be done by having tools that give us the same guarantees like deploying a smart contract on the main chain. It's difficult to explain: But what I want is Plasma but as a framework to develop dapps. This proj…
If you want a Layer2 plasma with similar guarantees to Ethereum (account based, not zero knowledge) then you may like Gluon.network once they roll out EVM support.

#30Wasn't cardano supposed to fix this?
yes, its been 4 years now and cardano doesnt even have smart contracting capabilities yet
