Hopefully the fact that our competitors are still pursuing POW (and proprietary, at that) gives us time to clean up our ui and get marketing caught up.

We only have one competitor, ethereum.

And they're not dicking around.

They are not interesting anyway...
Anyone could create such hardware and require users to purchase it in order to use the system.
It is useless for bitshares as its goals are WIDE adoption and custom hardware prevents that.

Right. Let's assume that Sybil attack is mitigated and look for other weak spots.

Hold on. Can that be mitigated by making changes to the software codes?  I think something like DNS with reverse lookup and certificates can help.

Who is the competitor and what is your coy name?

The both are NDA'ed :)

Your proprietary solution require users to purchase your hardware.

This is the first case.

Your proprietary solution involves POW .

This is the second one.

I don't promote our product. We have already sold this tech to one of your competitors and not interested in selling it to someone else. :)

And what is that company ? You can PM me the name...

The same company that is developing the hardware that supports blockchain tech.

Is any of the following true for your proprietary solution:
Your proprietary solution require users to purchase your hardware.
Your proprietary solution decreases privacy .
Your proprietary solution decreases usability .
Your proprietary solution involves POW .

Right. Can you give an example?

EDIT: Reminds me when you look up 'beautiful' and the definition is 'full of beauty'

I can't give an example. I know 2 effective solutions, but one of them can't be used in BitShares and another is a proprietary tech of our company.

If this is the case, maybe you shouldn't dismiss using a sybil attack as your opening move ;)
