There were some interesting tidbits in the article, but the claims of very low TPS in blockchain are a bit out of date, to be honest. Things are changing fast in ethereum, cardano, etc.

Isn't the usual fix to take transactions off the Blockchain? Similarly to how public key crypto is made faster by encrypting a symmetric key?

  You can’t store a blockchain in a ZK-snark/stark either. You can only verify it. So the transactions take place ‘off the blockchain’ here as well. The difference is that they can be verified no matter where they occurred.

    What do you mean you can't store it?

      The ‘succinct’ part of the acronym means that the data is not stored in the proof.

effing downvoters on blockchain topics. get an effing grip
- brink 5y ago
  If blockchain advocates didn't come of as so cult-ish, it'd be easier to not down-vote. But most advocates talk like blockchain exists in a vacuum. For example I saw a popular blockchain advocate talking about how the Pokemon company should get into NFT's and you have to wonder why? What advantage would it be to use blockchain over a simple database that the Pokemon company owns? I can think of several disadvantages. But the blockchain advocates keep harping on it whether it makes sense or not because it's financially advantageous for them.

    Life must be nice when you've found "the one true way", now, I must get back to writing Haskell... /sarcasm

    And if anti-blockchain detractors would stop acting like they've explored all the possibilities already as being moronic and/or redundant...I mean both sides have zealots, and it would be nice to just have a discussion and not a mod war.
