RE: [Algorithm Trading #2] Algorithmic trading platforms: Quantopian, cryptotrader.org
It's a valid concern, although I'm not so worried. I could be wrong but:
- The only part of Numer.ai explictly tied to Ethereum is the NMR token. There is no requirement for their funds to be coupled to Eth at all.
- Besides, Eth, by its centralised governance structure, is much easier to scale than say ... BTC.
DISC: I'm watching Numer.ai, but not otherwise invested atm. That might change.
If the numer.ai is centralized, ie permissioned blockchain like ripple, then we should trust the administrator. I am concerned about trust issue since the admin may get away with client's money.
If it is centralized, there is no meaning of applying public blockchain.
