Why isn't Bitshares joining with BlockNet?

[julian1]

So many competing applications/ blockchains around we should be targeting and getting uptake into real markets to maintain our competitive advantage.

I don't see it matters what the lowest level of the protocol is - raw sockets, https, rpc etc. The simpler the better imho.

To bad I missed the BlockNet ICO I saw this a few days ago missed it by about 5 days, would have invested.

How much effort would it take for the Bitshares SuperDAC to integrate with BlockNet? I think this should happen ASAP as it would be a symbiotic relationship.

The Blocknet is founded on the XBridge, which is not an RPC call protocol but a true P2P protocol. It is one thing for nodes to connect to each other directly (and thus "P2P"), but it is another for the protocol by which they connect to be true P2P rather than simply JSON-RPC or some other method.

The XBridge protocol is end-to-end encrypted.

It is either trustless or reputation-based, depending on the application.
Every XBridge-equipped node can provide services to nodes on any other blockchain.
Puts the power of every coin in the service of all.
