That seems to be the story of the whole blockchain space unfortunately. It's incomplete at every level of the stack, even the IPFS pub/sub layer still needs a lot of work to scale.
A problem with the blockchain community is that there is an ICO first and then do the work later mentality. This is a bit like the startup mentality of Silicon Valley.
I think that what works for centralization won't work for decentralization. You need the people who own the coins to be skilled and for them to directly contribute to the projects; you don't want your network to be made up of random shareholders who don't understand what they're buying and aren't capable of adding real value to it.
- arbol 8y agoEverything is in this state initially.
- marknadal 8y agoGUN and SSB are production ready, both running now large communities: - Patchwork has grown & scaled with spanning trees. - Notabug.io handling large influx of users with daisy-chain ad-hoc mesh-networks (DAM).
- doublepg23 8y agonotabug.io looks like an awful community, but it does seem to work.
- jondubois 8y agoSome teams/communities are doing it the right way round ;p but feels like the exception.
- viraptor 8y agoWhy did you reference ICO / coins / ...? Ipfs and orbitdb exist without any cryptocurrency. There's filecoin relying on ipfs, but it's pretty isolated.
