tezos.com :)

Tezos will be a big competitor. Its self amending mechanism allows developers to inject proposals on which the bakers are invited to vote on. Every ~3 months improvements are made. Its language allows formal verification. But the most important of all it upgrades itself without forks. It is liquid PoS since the beginning. Transactions or contract calls cost below 1 cent, due to steady implemented gas fee optimizations. This month 30M contract calls will be reached whereof almost all were done this year. More and more serious businesses are joining. https://tezos.com/

Some years ago I used the + feature in my gmail address. e.g. [email protected] to track down which service is giving away my email address. It happened more than once that I could not log in anymore at some point because they started to disallow the + character in email addresses. I also got phone calls from some companies complaining that i misspelled my email address because there was their company name in it.

Tezos for example has the problem of missing liquidity. So they voted for protocol level liquidity called liquidity baking. A little bit of inflation is used to incentivise liquidity providing. It's an experiment but it shows the power of governance. See https://liquidity-baking.com/ for current liquidity.
For sure it will always be voted on something that is good for the chain or for the token. When its good publicity for a chain to vote for charity-baking you could solve human problems.

And now couple it with a e-brush input device :)
Canvas rotation would also be nice. And a regulator for gravity.

If you're not aware of https://tezos.com/ then it is definitely worth to look into it. It's PoS since 2017, has smart contracts since 2018. It's a self amending protocol. A lot of improvements are already injected and a lot in the pipeline. For more information about the recent upgrade: http://doc.tzalpha.net/protocols/009_florence.html
Lots of defi products are already live on mainnet. https://better-call.dev/dapps/list

> Imperative languages can also be formally verified. See the K framework for formal modeling and verification of EVM smart contracts.
Good to see that eth has the possibility too. It's a must have in my opinion.
> Beware, the gas price might be low because there is no volume. Binance Smart Chain had a lot of difficulty the past 2 days because they underpriced gas cost and basically DOS-ed themselves:
I don't know how tezos would react when DOS-ed. The next upgrade brings some further optimizations with it. Gas will then be calculated using saturated arithmetic.

This is are very good question. I really don't know why the mainstream ignored this project so far. Compared to some other projects, there is no single person in the center of the project, so there is no one to be hyped. This is sad but it seems to be a disadvantage. The loudest are getting attention and with so many projects out there, the tezos community was a long time pretty silent.
The smart contract language is completely different from solidity. Its a functional language which allows formal verification. This is one reason which makes it harder for developers to migrate to tezos. It's easeier to migrate to an ethereum clone.
Sapling came with the edo upgrade this year, this allows privacy preserving smart contracts. Gas price is extremly low. A part of the nft hype has already migrated to tezos because of PoS and low gas prices. See the stats here https://better-call.dev/stats/mainnet/general
The next upgrade is currently in the voting phase. When you're technically interested in it see here http://doc.tzalpha.net/protocols/009_florence.html
Last week a marketing campaign started, maybe you will see an add somewhere in the near future. A lot is going on in adoption atm, here a few recent news:

A planned upgrade of 6 years? How would that be in the future? How long does it take to fix a minor issue?
Tezos for example is able to evolve every 3-4 months without forking and is PoS since 2017. Also they're doing a better job on security. https://tezos.com/

The tezos foundation for example made a crowdfunding some years ago. People who donated in the project received an amount written in the genesis block. The foundation started the mainnet in a beta phase with some initial validators. Holders started to participate in the PoS process until it was decentralized.

I don't know. Eth is switching to PoS. Tezos, cardano and many others are PoS. Is there any plan for bitcoin to switch to PoS? When there are a lot of more environmental friendly crypto alternatives, what should stop governments to ban bitcoin mining?

Thanks for this conversation. It is truly very misleading. There is no implicit copyright. There are mentions about ownership and also contradictions. This generalization I made, was wrong.

The contract would give the buyer rights to use the content. When I'm the owner of a physical Picasso then I have the right to sell t-shirts with the motive on it. If someone else would do that, I could sue him. The same idea is behind this NFT hype, you buy the right to use the content. As far as I understand it.

So you say that ownership should be kept in physical contracts? There are usecases when you are the owner of something which is not in your physical possession.
I don't care about that NFT stuff, collectible can make sense or not. What bothers me is to do it with so much energy consumption. When you are attracted to lose money, then just do it environment friendly.

Tezos has what it needs for that.
