I have run into a terrible and a very severe problem. this isn't the first time. It's part of my life. it's because of my lifestyle. I just can't help it. It comes down to a sort of infornography. I actually spend majority of the time (almost 2/3 of it) I spend awake on researching various subjects. I read, watch and play. i'm not addicted to the internet. I don't show most of the symptoms. But I have to admit to be that person who picks up a magazine or a book at a party. i also have fond memories of reading books while studying at school. I did both the lesson and the digesting of the information or the narrative of the book. After dropping out it has almost become a full time job (hobby) for me.

Too Much Content; Too Little time

I get many ideas a day to write about and I read/watch so many content that is worth sharing and if i did share all of them I'd be making 20 posts a day. I don't like to look like a spammer. I hate spam. Just dropping some links on a post isn't enough for me because thee is much to be added. But at times I have to realize that i don't live in a time where i have access to telepathic writing devices.

After consuming so much content, I finally settled to at least pick a subject and make sort of a curation post. Here we go.

Binance CEO: Ethereum and EOS Will Be Too Slow to Succeed in the Long Run - Komodo and Tendermint Will Succeed

I'm a fan of Komodo. but I still think CZ is kind of taking things a little too far. I think the best scalable and most sophisticated system is Hashgraph. But EOS is the most used public blockchain on the planet. Although Komodo claims 20,000 TPS at the moment, it is not battle tested.

More on Komodo

You can read more about their scalability solutions here. Komodo is playing a very clever game putting interoperability at the very core of things.

This new technology creates blockchain interoperability, providing two main benefits. First, if a project launches a blockchain on Komodo and one chain is no longer sufficient to handle that project’s needs, additional chains can be created and synchronized with the first. This is possible because Cross-Chain Smart Contracts allow several (or many) blockchains to communicate with one another and function as a single chain.

This means all projects within the Komodo ecosystem can scale on-demand and grow with their business. As a project’s demands increase, more chains can always be added so that performance never falls behind. If one chain isn’t cutting it, add a second. If two chains aren’t enough, create a third. And so on. There is no limit to the number of chains that can exist in a single assetchain cluster. This tech is available to all projects within the Komodo ecosystem.

Komodo is also the leader in Blockchain Atomic Swaps having done over 95% of all Atomic Swaps. this isn't something EOS or any other project is doing at the moment. EOS is trying to capture the market through sheer performance while Komodo is trying to gain marketshare as a means to performance. Any tiny blockchain project can have bitcoin security through being a part of the Komodo eco-system. Recently this happened with GameCredits. It's a good project. But it can be 51% attacked for $163 per hour at the current rates. That's a terrible situation for a multi-million dollar project.

Many Are ready To Migrate Away From Ethereum

The network is congested since many weeks ago and the Tx fees are only rising. the block time is also huge. Chainzilla is a project that is actually helping people/projects to get away from Ethereum.

Chainzilla Airdrop on August 15th

Join Discord at: https://discord.gg/G4dxgmv
Download the latest Komodo wallet and hold 500 or more KMD in one address by August 15, 2018 which is the day of the snapshot. The aidrops will be distributed two weeks later on August 30th, 2018.

If you have 500 KMD you will get 1 share. If your address holds 1000 KMD you will get 2 shares. If the address holds 750 KMD you will get 1.5 shares. If you have 499.99 KMD you will not be included in the snapshot.

"LBRY is a free, open, and community-run digital marketplace. You own your data. You control the network. Indeed, you are the network."

TRON could seriously pose a threat. But as long as they improve on scalability, they have a long way to go. The marketing is also also non-existent. I won't advise to put too much money on this one.

A Whole Lot of NEM Updates

This one is a huge project with massive market valuations. Still almost nobody is talking about it. So I'm going to link some great news regarding this amazing project.
NEM has partnered with Two4one App to help in blockchain implementation in Africa.
Invox Finance is partnering with Multiversum to utilize the NEM blockchain for their platform.
NEM team has become a member of the FinTech Association of Hong Kong (FTAHK).
NEM joined the launching of Institute of Blockchain Singapore (IBS) - Singapore’s first Blockchain School

That's a lot of things to read and explore. So have fun and grow wiser!
