Hola! I'm Christopher Franko, Lead dev for Expanse, Founder of Borderless.tech, President of Borderless Charity AMA
Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Franko, as you have read from my long title I keep myself busy. If you have any questions about me, upvote and ask below!
Will the marriage by Borderless be recognized worldwide?
Thats an interesting question. That is certainly the goal! We have community members in 21 of the 24 timezones. Oftentimes we see projects, especially in the crypto world, that want to buck up and try to fight the system, and that isnt borderless (although someone could use it for that if they wanted). However, its more effective if we build bridges from the old world to the new. So it is absolutely ideal and in our best interest, for the marriages performed on the blockchain to also be sanctioned by the existing infrastructure as much as possible.
It should be legal in the Lakota nation if Payu is successful with getting acceptance from the tribal elders. It is looking positive. Worldwide I don't think anything is recognized everywhere, and as Borderless marriage is also about equality, some nations are very much opposed to that. (Gay marriage and the like) The motto is "Confirm your love on the Blockchain" -- Initially in most places it will be something in between traditional marriage I would say, but way more of a commitment than just living together. It also depends on if one is a "statist" or not. As I am more a voluntarist, this is just as real as anything approved by the Church or State for me. Legally however, not right away, and certainly not everywhere.
In one or two sentences can you explain why someone should choose Expanse over Ethereum?
Not Franko, but I follow Expanse a lot
The beauty is, they dont have to choose one or the other, because they can utilize both. As a dapp developer I can get more exposure for my project by launching on both services. With that being said, there are a couple advantages to using Expanse. The first one being, cost. A developer can launch their dapps on EXP for a fraction of the cost and all the users of the dapp can do so cheaper. Another reason being finality. We have already publicly vowed to never compromise the integrity of the blockchain with bailouts. Finally, community, I know community is something that everyone says, however, join our slack and see. We have nearly 1000 members who are all excited about Expanse.
I'm sure you have at least a few believers... why else would they be mining Expanse if they could just mine Ethereum and convert to Expanse and effectively get more than double their hash rate's worth?!
So... what's the worse case scenario? If you don't manage to build up enough hash power and threaten ETH with a big contract (your DAO maybe?) could the ETH community use their hash power to break your chain? Or do you see it eventually reaching parity with ETH? Or are you focusing on something altogether different? I think you need a different focus or mandate from ETH... like target property ownership, or something... just having a focus and actively pursuing it will go a long way toward setting yourself apart - and will get you to parity and equal strength much sooner... most chains are just tech still looking for a job. Just pick one and lead the way, when the others catch up you could already be leading certain markets.
Price very cheap now. good time to buy i think.
yeah I was glad to see the dips :) Cheers to getting low buy orders filled
is there currently any upcoming implementation of the borderless technology or is it still just a proof of concept?
Fully functioning, and we will be bringing some groups in that will be using the platform for their own services that we are already in talks with. So it will be used as well. Hopefully tonight, but the devs keep adding functionality and that has caused some delays. (I work with Franko)
