0:29:55 – Darryl questions about RChain’s technology: “RChain the only blockchain that, when you add hardware, it scales”. Please explain.
0:38:25 – Are there other DAG styled approaches that can scale with hardware? Greg – Yes, but most of them focus on the consensus rather than the transaction processing itself. RChain does both. It proposes one model of computation that allows you to tackle all of those problems. It can do static analyses to detect conflict.
0:44:16 – RChain in comparison to other multichains. The whole point of the sharding architecture, RChain treats different chains that you want to coordinate as a bunch of sidechains with a parallel process coordinating amongst them. It treats separate chains as separate shards.
