First, we mine bitcoin because we want to. Then others mine bitcoin because they think they can get rich doing it. Now, Substratum removes the complex ( to some, like me for example) scripting / directory hunting and leaves the reward part intact. Being this project is not a Me Too concept, but rather a value add, I would be remiss to not dredge up a previous measuring stick - First Round Draft Pick. Until the morrow, beloveds. #ComeToDelaware
Pros
- Taking the BOINC model of shared computing, but adding a reward for the computer use rather than the computer mining, brilliant! Not 3 days ago I created an account to run a machine to help SETI. It took more than 30 hours for my dinosaur box to process 8 hours worth of files. I am hopeful when I pilot Substratum later on tonight it will run a little better. The token system uses substrate and atoms with 2 decimal places each, to roughly equivalate out to dollars and cents. Even better than this, Substratum takes a long hard look down the sights at a nasty jerk called non-net neutrality and aims to ( see the pun there?) help ensure 1 - internet access to those currently being censored from it, 2 - paying more for fast lanes is not only not required, but not even useful. Decentralize everything in 2019, people.
Cons
- Uhh, lack of diversity in the leadership team. Surely not an actual issue if the product works, but in 2018 you better have a Benneton ad look or some people will cry foul without knowing the game. My only real complaint is that I cannot find the DOWNLOAD ME button on their site. Apparently this is because we are still in BETA testing, which I have just applied to be part of. Either way, will review again in 6 months.
