No offense, but could you and the other people mentioning other chains in subthreads not do that? These threads just turn into ad pages and nobody has the ability to know what advice is valuable and what is just shilling.

These claims have been made about every altcoin/feature since 2009. There's too much baseless hype. You guys want me to buy Raiblocks, Plasma, or Omise Go? Are you sure the devs know what they are doing and why?

Is anyone still holding Mazacoin?

He should have explain that raiblock have no fees and transfers are instantaneous. Even if all humans of the world use it. That is not advertising , but show one solution to the scalability problem.

RaiBlocks is highly relevant to mention here since it's the only coin solving these very problems while still being decentralized.

Maybe, but we don't know what weaknesses and unforeseen problems will present themselves at scale.

Plasma isn’t a coin it’s an open source blockchain scaling solution . The Omise Go network is an open (not owned by anyone) decentralized value exchange network.
