What is the difference between EOS and Ethereum? Programmer explains.

in eos •  7 years ago 

Ethereum and EOS are both platforms for smart contracts however there are fundamental differences in their ideology and vision. What is the real difference between these projects? Ethereum is currently using PoW and will switch to PoS while EOS is using DPOS - Delegated Proof of Stake. In this video we discuss these idological differences and what kind of consequences they have. Enjoy guys!

Thank you for another good post! New coins are coming up with better features than ETH and EOS, instead of improving upon existing coins by updating, they come up as new names. This trend has to stop somewhere, otherwise we will have unmanageable number of platforms.

Hahahahh great analogy with coca cola and pepsi

Nice, can you now compare Cardano to EOS/Ethereum? ;)

Nice. Thanks for the comparison. Definitely pros and cons to both. It's hard to say if one will win.

Ivan, you're a great Youtuber. Not like most Youtubers talking about cryptos, you have a technical background what makes you outstanding. Watched the video yesterday. Please keep talking from this technical perspective(of course I join the other videos which are less technical!)
You could have maybe included the developments on Cardano as a third point to discuss because they use Haskell (Yes I love Haskell and I'm doing a series about haskell programming. Would really appreciate your opinion on my posts as a comment or a message :))

Great Video!

Excellent presentation. I can tell you like EOS, Ivan. Me, too.

Really great video!
If I understood well EOS is very similar to Steemit, where upvoting and replying is rewarded by author and that’s why even the replies get better quality. Both have its pros and cons, I’m sticking with ETH, but thanks to your video I will start looking in to EOS as well
Thank you!

I bought some EOS just in case but I hope that Ethereum will prevail.
PS: Android is way better than iOS :P

Thanks for covering EOS Ivan! I think their solution is far more scalable than Ethereum.
EOS will need to catch up with Ethereum partnerships and heads start at the beginning and then I think Ethereum will need to catch up with EOS on scaling.
Hope this platform can leverage more platforms like Steemit next year.
Do you know if there is any way to compile to WASM without the need to use C or C++ in EOS?
Thanks!

Solid content as usual Ivan <3

It seems to me.EOS will support WASM and compiling from C++ and Rust to WASM.

Rust is a very interesting language in the context of smart contracts. Very similar to Python with exactly the right additional features. That means easy to use and computationally safe. It's designed for concurrent processing.

zero-cost abstractions
move semantics
guaranteed memory safety
threads without data races
trait-based generics
pattern matching
type inference
minimal runtime
efficient C bindings

Thanks for your insights. EOS seems to have got a lot of things right.

Hello Ivan good eplanation as always. Do you think that Delegated Proof of Stake is safe?

Is it possible that same node started to cheat and until it will be realized huge amout of transaction will be send to thief adress? Or is there any posibilities how to attack DPOS consensus?

Thanks, great video. The more I know, the less I know
