> Ethereum [...] apps [...] are fully trusted Haha you're funny. On a more serious note, I don't think the current generation of blockchains is "The Future". They offer basically nothing more than what you can achieve with a publicly hosted git repository with post-commit hooks that enforce signatures. Actually, Ethereum is far worse, because all computations are repeated by every node (as far as I know), which is a huge waste of energy. If you want reliable distributed computation, you need to make sure there's some way of smart distribution of work... e.g. offer exponentially diminishing returns for each "duplicated" evaluation of the same piece of code beyond the 2nd.

The replication is for secure non-censorable trusted code execution. For high-throughput computations, Golem is being developed, where there is (generally) no computation replication. www.golem.network. The repository is here: https://github.com/golemfactory https://github.com/golemfactory

Even better: > Ethereum [...] apps [...] never fail Just... wow. Listen, distributed ledgers are useful. Breathless hyped up nonsense about "flaw-proof technologies that even YOU can use if you just give me 10 bucks!!!" (in used car salesman voice) ... yeah ... that's not so useful. These people just can't seem to see the difference.

To be clear, are you claiming the GGP (Sargos) can't see the difference between these two things?

  They didn’t say such apps exist, they said Ethereum provides the protocol for such apps.
