Aeternity lets you connect real-world data to smart contracts. Any real-world data can be integrated such as voting result, commodity prices (like oil and gas), weather conditions. This opens up the field for major use cases like supply chain management, insurances, gaming and so on. In case of Ethereum or Bitcoin, everything remains confined within the walls of the blockchain and there is no connection between real-world data and blockchain. Combining these three elements Aeternity breaks the bSee full review

ICON Republic is the “hub”, of sorts, for all the various communities on the ICON network. C-Reps are responsible for making and managing this connection. All of the above is powered by ICON’s “Nexus” multi-channel blockchain, which is itself based on loopchain. Loopchain uses a Loop Fault Tolerance (LFT) consensus algorithm, which is very similar to a DPoS system, where C-Reps are “delegates” for their own communities on the network.See full review

In my opinion it will be main value of ZIL but not enough. ZIL dapps will start coming out later this year, while Etherum has countless dapps, massive ecosystem and ton of developers working on it, with more coming every day. Not to mention a whole economy based on it's ERC20 protocol. Solidity is the main language people are picking up at the moment with companies looking for experts in this field. To overcome all of this and 'beat' Etherum is almost impossible considering sharding IS coming toSee full review

I think you're overestimating the number of blockchains faster than DigiByte. Please name them. If Nano is your counter argument, understand that it's not a traditional UTXO blockchain (it's "block lattice" which is unproven). Nano is taking a risk with their block lattice "tech" and will need 4.5 years (like DGB) to prove that its chain can hold up. Oh... and not to forget, Nano was 100% pre-mined, so it is ridiculously centralized. No way the developers didn't store away large portions of thatSee full review

Bitcoin Diamond shares a similarity with its parent Bitcoin, and that is in the anonymous nature of the founders. Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym for a programmer or group of programmers. Similarly, Bitcoin Diamond was created by developers using pseudonyms. In this case there are three, with two identifying themselves as “Evey” and “007”, and the third remaining fully anonymous. It was later mentioned that the names actually referred to development teams, and that the likelSee full review
