I wish a block explorer would display the "market cap" of a voting quorum. Isn't it under $1m now? It would cost far more than $1m to build an network that has the adoption is has now and the potential to scale to any realistic TPS. The farther it falls the more likely a profit-seeking entity would take charge and rally voters.

Good timing for a decentralized cryptocurrency

that's the spirit!

The entire "cryptocurrency isn't property" argument is really hard for me to follow.

Any "property" which you can't protect with your body (the theft of which would then require violating NAP) is protected for you by the government via property laws.

Your car deed is also a shared societal perception that the car "belongs" to you. If I come hotwire it while you are asleep, by your own reasoning I have not violated NAP.

A lot of anarchists don't believe in property rights other than what you can carry, and it's not an invalid argument, I just think it's not what you actually believe.

censorship is a sign of weakness. I can use the ignore function based on my own judgement, thank you!

obviously!

Doesn't this contradict what you said here https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3jvo9k/bitshares_says_it_will_be_able_to_complete_100000/

I don't see the contradiction, I think I said almost the same thing in both

There's no reason "virtualized" (user-submitted scripts?) can't be almost as fast as native contracts. This tradeoff concept exists because ethereum made some design decisions which are good for thin clients but bad for performance (there are sequential crypto operations everywhere, in and out of transaction logic. Every state change requires computing several hashes).

In graphene you see some places where the opposite decision is made. Graphene's databases could be exposed to a fast scripting environment where users could submit code.

So to answer the question, I think blocktime is almost completely independent, while throughput and cost favor native contracts only by as much as compiled code is slightly faster than advanced VM tech like java

To my understood music chain is just a copy of BTS chain ?,  is it right ?  if yes , so I don’t believe an independent make any sense, but anybody can establish an independent chain , it is decentralized.

I agree to put note on the bitshares. Muse there is no need for independence

Yes there is - the artistcoin mechanics are one (but those will surely eventually get pulled into BTS core), but the branding and stated mission matter a lot. Fact is you could sell the existing music industry on Muse but not BTS.
