RE: Scot.today and some clarity on pricing for Tribes
@aggroed I been meaning to ask you but say SMT the full edition gets added to Steem. What will happen to ENG holders? Will ENG become a SMT tool builder provider and ENG used for payment?
I can’t speak for their plans exactly, but he’s mentioned a few times that the whole Scot/tribe protocol will still be operational as a separate product from SMTs. I imagine that’s SMTs are going to launch in a very basic manner and SCOT tribes will actually have more functionalities and options than SMTs. At the rate of improvement that Steem Engine is having, I imagine that SMTs will never actually catch up to having as many versatile features.
I do still see a point for SMTs but I also still see a point for Scot tribes no matter what. They’re 2 separate products. 1 (SMT) is a simple clone of Steem that’s operates at the blockchain layer and the other (SCOT) is a second-layer solution that offers a wider selection of options/customizations. — so a long winded way of saying that I think ENG will continue to be valuable as a resource in the future ;)
One of the big differences could be decentralised (SMT) vs centralised (SCOT). I'd like to see steem-engine moving towards a decentralised model.
