RE: Steemit Communities Are Just Around The Corner!
It's because each layer serves a different purpose. the blockchain level is more about consensus, or how the data is validated, and this must be fast and secure, while the hivemind layer is about data and this must be flexible and comprehensive. These are mostly hardware constraints and different software writing paradigms.
That's interesting @dragosroua. Thank you for the explanation.
Is there any hivemind layer at all yet? Is it the same on the other coin's block chains or is this something specific to the Steem Block chain?
Specific to Steem and not public yet, the announcement was for the alpha version, which may be downloaded and tested by developers from Github.
Ah. Of course . . . thinking about it. Bitcoin would have no need of communities etc. on their block chain would they! 😁
