I'm not suggesting that this be a bitshares project, I'm just asking the Devs what they think the technical limitations of computation on a blockchain are.
So with the latency limitations, one could theoretically build clusters of blockchain based VMs inside of a single computer, and have those chains periodically register a block with some master chain. The master chain could spit out genesis blocks for these fast, small chains when computational services are needed. Damn I wish I knew how to build this.
