Introduction
Right now we seem to be having a resurgence of Bitcoin with it getting very close to the $1000 mark and a $15.5 billion dollar market cap - a region we haven't seen in approximately 3 years.
One effect of this resurgence is that it will almost inevitably increase the interest in other cryptocurrencies.
This presents somewhat of an opportunity for us to promote Steemit and Steem.
As the Steem/Steemit community it would be useful to have some shorthand ways to present our blockchain to people who are curious and may not necessarily be familiar with it.
I am currently thinking on how best to do this. Perhaps we could create a set of standard tools, tables, graphs and the like for easy comparison?
I would also be interested in putting up some comparison charts for Steem vs other blockchains on Steemithelp.
In view of this I have compiled my own table below:
Steem Vs Other Blockchains Table
Notes:
- Some of the data for this table has been quite hard to find and also seems to be a matter of debate. For example transaction fees vary and I have used estimates for average transactions in those cases.
- Further some currencies do not have block size limitations, however, in those cases transactions per second are estimates based on current technology and infrastructure.
- Prices and values are taken from CoinMarketCap today (28th December 2016).
- Where possible I have used the official sources such as ethereum.org - these may not be completely up to date.
- For apps I only considered those that were large scale i.e. of similar size to Steemit, currently the only similarly sized ethereum app that is live and I know of is Augur - please let me know if you are aware of any others.
In view of this please let me know if I have anything wrong or if you have any extra information that would be appropriate.
Thank you for reading.
