Mark my words. This is the ethereum killer. The problem with ethereum is the novelty factor. Everything under the hood is difficult for the average developer to grasp and it's not clear whats going on as it is quite new and work is on

I think my lesson was "Don't go off to the races, solving difficult problems for people who won't pay for it" and "To us its a bunch of tables and CRUD generated on top of it. To them, its whether or not theres a fr

Come on, this is penny pinching. Amazon charges 1/50,000th of a penny per 100ms, so 1 second is still 1/5000th of a penny. You need 5000 seconds so well over an hour (90 minutes) to pay Amazon a measly 1 cents for an hour of their
