That was perhaps about Ethereum, whose Blockchain seems to be so unwieldy that one very few companies manage to process it directly, and everybody else uses their API.
- CryptoPunk 5y agoEthereum's blockchain is not at all unwieldy - there are 5,000+ nodes. Most companies rely on hosted nodes across the entire crypto space, not just within the Ethereum one. That has more to do with wanting a highly-reliable node provider with a low likelihood of experiencing down time, for business critical applications, than running a node being difficult.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoIt's just what had been said in those recent posts about HN on Ethereum, I think by Moxie or the reply to him be Mike Hearn. I've heard it before that the Ethereum Blockchain is difficult to process, so I assumed it is still the case.
