Made question clearer

| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:20 | comment | added | MaiaVictor | Hello Richard, I have to disagree with your comment. If there are better algorithms around, it is really desirable that this knowledge his hosted on this community, as it is relevant to people: 1. building altcoin-Ethereum-bridges; 2. building Ethereum sidechains; 3. wondering if we should eventually update the protocol (why not?); 4. making statistics, charts, etc.; 5. just wanting to learn. I honestly hope Ethereum becomes the homeland for any blockchain-tech related discussions, even if a specific technique isn't currently used on the core protocol. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:15 | comment | added | Richard Horrocks | I don't think this is focused enough on Ethereum to make it a valid question in this forum - most of the answer would be taken up describing technologies that Ethereum doesn't use, and never will. It also comes across as a little loaded: "How much better are the state-of-the-art algorithms when compared to crappy old Ethash?" :-) To anyone reading who doesn't know about the future move to Proof of Stake - when there will be no mining - they might wrongly think that Ethereum is based on old technology. | |
