Anyone here check out Cardano? Seems like a legit competitor for Ethereum. Plus they got Charles Hoskinson at the wheel, ex-ceo of Ethereum.

- Huge amount of papers:https://iohk.io/research/papers/

- Their blockchain is made in Haskell, a language suitable for financial operations (they got Philip Wadler on their team, creator of Haskell)

- Their paper on their DPOS consensus algorithm, Ouroboros, is provably secure and peer reviewed by a major crypto conference (crypto 2017) and several universities.

- A governance and treasury system similar to the one found in DASH

- A virtual machine which will support a plethora of languages, including solidity (so in theory ethereum dapps could be ported to Cardano). Their VM is being developed by runtime verification, a company which has also developed for NASA and boeing...(https://runtimeverification.com/))

- Team of about a 100 people.https://iohk.io/team/

- Everything is peer reviewed, and has been in development for 2 years. Their ICO was held in Japan only, so that's why most people hadn't heard of it until now.

- Strong focus on sustainability and scalability (they want to shard, prune, compress, partition the blockchain in the future. Sidechains also on their list.)

Currently around 2 cents, but I see this baby around 20 cents when the smart contract layer goes live. Thoughts?

30 billion supply it's fucking nothing

500m to 5 billion market cap? Delusional.

Try for a more reasonable market cap next time you shill a coin, and maybe suggest to hedge your bet using a similar crypto like Eos. In a few weeks their beta will be coming out which will spark new interest. Right now it's being PnD'd but I think it's a good buy in case Cardano doesn't go the way you think it will.

I’ve got some. But I’m not going head over heels about it. Gonna get in on EOS too.
