Are there currently any alternatives to Ethereum? (turing-complete programmable cryptocurrency)

• etr-strike 9y ago
  Yes: Rootstock ( https://www.rsk.co/ https://www.rsk.co/ ). This exists as a sidechain to the bitcoin network and implements the Ethereum virtual machine. It launched on mainnet yesterday.

      No, it's currently running on mainnet: https://media.rsk.co/getting-started-with-bamboo-rsk-mainnet-beta/ https://media.rsk.co/getting-started-with-bamboo-rsk-mainnet...

    Keep in mind that rootstock currently is a federated sidechain, so it is decentralized only insofar as you consider federated cryptocurrency systems to be "decentralized" (and different folks disagree about this)

  If Tezos ever arrives it might be a viable alternative for certain use cases.

    Look at Tezos Github commits: https://github.com/tezos/ https://github.com/tezos/ Most of them are shallow changes or "busy work" to show activity. I have been watching FileCoin and Tezos Github, and I wouldn't expect much from either one of them.

  NEO, Stratas, NXT and QTUM are the ones I've been following.
