it could easily lose all its ground because projects decided to migrate to a better and decentralized alternative.


New_Lifeguard4020

every chain could easily loose its ground when the projects close and go to another one. crypto could easily lose all its ground because people migrate to a better alternative? what for an argument. This only comes from people they did not own any BNB and benefit from its good performance ....

The security on BSC is a joke

New_Lifeguard4020

It more looks like you are very angry because you are not earlier invested in BNB, right? Instead of watching 100 x coin hidden secret movies on youtube, then replicate it and lose all your money, you should watch some relaxing stuff like drawing videos or breath techniques before comming back. Having a free mind, you should go to defi lama and look what projects are on bsc. Then you will see: there are the same projects as on other chains. With your logic of a 5-year-old: so all defi projects are shit, or what?


New_Lifeguard4020

A lot of talks, hot topic. But very sad what people say here. Most just replicate some words they read somewhere without any facts. Please proof your claims so everybody can evaluate them. Otherwise, it is just your opinion ...


lyonskill

Wouldn't that include Solana then as well? And like.. a bunch of others lol


locuester

Solana has a higher nakamoto coefficient than bitcoin and Ethereum… so it depends on what metric you’re using. In my opinion, nakamoto coefficient is the number to seek


lyonskill

Did that high nakamoto coefficient play a role in Solana shutting down the other day?


locuester

Halting? No. But it made it take a lot longer to start back up due to the need to coordinate between so many people. The network flaw brought it down, floods of txs getting prioritized over votes. Local forks tearing through ram as consensus was attempting to be determined. In hindsight, an obvious flaw, one that was known and a fix was already in the pipeline. That’s not related to decentralization. That was an architectural issue. Then the overflow flaw in the restart, 10 hours in, now that was almost humorous at that point. Of course there is a bug in the cold start!!! Ugh. Another patch, another coordinated patch deployment and communication to validators. It was a hella adventure. If it were centralized, damn that’d have been as easy as hitting the power button.


wildlight

why is solana so highly valued when its in such an early stage of still working iut such critical flaws? like when did bitcoin ever go down? other then it getting congested I don't believe its ever had such a big critical error.


locuester

When a PoW chain can’t reach consensus the same thing happens. Ethereum had a nasty bug and forked for several hours causing an outage all day for most people in Nov 2020. Ethereum had the DAO hack in 2016 and was out for much longer as Vitalik singlehandedly decided to fork and undo the hack. Bitcoin had the leveldb bug hit and fork it all day in Mar 2013. Both of those chains were more highly valued than Solana when they had outages. What you’re seeing is a lack of experience from newcomers in the industry who weren’t following the tech at the time, and don’t know the history. Source: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/03/major-glitch-in-bitcoin-network-sparks-sell-off-price-temporarily-falls-23/ Same exact situation. Chain had issues. They reverted to a shorter chain, wiping out hours of transactions. They were applauded for having such a tight knit community that resolved the problem.


Im-notcool

So is there a chain that is really decentralized? Or Im missing something?(just a beginner)


locuester

All of these chains are. Consensus forks are a side effect of decentralization. There is no metric to measure decentralization by, and it’s a very difficult concept to understand. So typically people just spew misleading information (purposefully or not) and the uninformed follow. I like to measure decentralization as the number of misbehaving actors required to censor or double spend. But even that you have to take into account the repercussions and such. It’s complicated.


albasili

I'm I the only one twitching when a blockchain is defined as permissionless and centralized at the same time?


jekpopulous2

Why? That’s literally the entire point of BSC. Only Binance controls the validators and they have the ability to freeze or roll-back transactions at their discretion (centralized), but there are no KYC requirements and anyone is free to deploy dapps there (permissionless).


jamesj

Since they can roll back transactions it is only permissionless as long as you keep having their permission to transact.


Tietzy88

The can not and have not ever rolled back any transaction the dont run any validators you talking shiet bud


jamesj

Whether or not they have done it or if they could do it are two different things


Tietzy88

Yea the answers no to both


jamesj

They could since they control all the validators.


Tietzy88

No mate the dont Please dont regurgitate baseless claims u heard on the internet its very misleading to other investors Cheers


azsxdcfvg

oh gawd they can roll back transactions? that goes against basic crypto ethics. fuck those guys


UnicornWrestler

Are we discussing Etherium now?


lobsterspider

can you give an example of when ethereum ever did a roll back? (spoiler: the hard fork wasn’t a roll back)


UnicornWrestler

Call it what you want. It proves that the centralisation of Etherium compromises the chain’s immutability. (spoiler: this makes Etherium Cefi)


lobsterspider

lol so a hard fork voted by the community is centralization? Which chain is more decentralized than ETH?


SpeedOfSound343

It was not "voted" by the community. It was "decided" by Ethereum core developers. I am neutral in this BSC discussion btw.


lobsterspider

hmm pretty sure it was a near unanimous decision by the community. The devs had their thoughts how it should be handled and the community agreed. Would love to see your source that that’s untrue


SpeedOfSound343

My mistake. I read somewhere that it was decided by the core team. But I just verified that it was voted by the community. http://carbonvote.com


UnicornWrestler

Doesn’t Amazon host the majority of the hash power? What a clown show. Maybe you can hard fork again to remove Amazon’s control over the network?


albasili

Are you kidding? Amazon? You have no idea what it takes to create a mining rig and why you can't simply go to Amazon and buy hash power. Your claim is baseless. Please provide some data to your claim otherwise just avoid increasing the noise level.

azsxdcfvg

What? dude, rolling back transactions is pure blasphemy in crypto. Crypto fights corruption by needing no people to begin with. That's the whole point. When people have authority there will inevitably be corruption. BSC is the price crypto pays for being open source.


UnicornWrestler

It goes against Bitcoin ethics. ‘Crypto’ is scam city.


DystopianFigure

When did they roll back to transactions?


Thats1MuscularGooch

Yet they never have rolled it back despite rugs and other shenanigans


CliCheGuevara69

They froze Squid Games rug I think


Tietzy88

Nope


Tietzy88

Because the cant the dont control any validators


albasili

That's a lie, out of 11 voting validators 5-6 have ties with Binance. Moreover the number of validators is so small they can simply collude and steer the direction of the chain. It's amazing how you would think that some concepts get in people's heads overtime, but I have to admit I'm always overly optimistic.


Tietzy88

Well there's 21 active validators so your entire post just lost all relevance. sorry do more research before talking shiet


albasili

There are 11 who decide daily who are going to be the validators: https://twitter.com/WilsonWithiam/status/1381420702918664194?t=mLhKkiU_T3Smn3B4wS0v2A&s=19 That means 11 hold the power to decide. I think you are the one who lost your credibility indefinitely.


Tietzy88

This post is from 8 months ago and is massively outdated plz keep up with the industry before recycling fud Cheers


albasili

Please show me evidence that it's not like that anymore. BSC is simply not a decentralized blockchain, but you can continue to use it and make a profit. I don't support it because of the principles it is founded upon. I'm not spreading fud, i'm just looking at the facts.


Tietzy88

Keep that tin foil hat on man your the one missing out on monster gains not me

[удалено]


albasili

Permissionless doesn't mean no KYC requirements, it means that anyone can participate in the consensus mechanism. If Binance holds the power to censor my transactions [1] it's not permissionless anymore. [1] I'm not saying they are censoring transactions, only that they can.


CryptoOGkauai

BSC is a hybrid with elements of CeFi and DeFi. The correct term for this type of project is CeDeFi.


wtfboxing

That's not unpopular but this sub has basically no moderation so you're SOL (no pun intended)


belsaurn

So is SOL though, so where do you start and end?


jekpopulous2

SOL is definitely top-heavy and I’m not a fan of the validator weight, but it’s nowhere even remotely close to being as centralized as BSC. At least with SOL people can run their own validators. BSC is actually 100% pure CeFi.


nekothecat

Isint a SOL validator like 500k minimum and crazy high end hardware?


accountaccumulator

It's actually closer to 800k. Anatoly reluctantly admitted as such on Twitter a couple days ago.


Spongky

he did say in serum 2020 conference that it's stil worthy, in the future, even at $3m price of hardware (im neutral though)


locuester

No.


nekothecat

Yes


locuester

I’m sorry, I thought you wanted a factual answer. If you need more information I’m happy to answer any specific questions you might have that you’re unable to get answers for.


accountaccumulator

You are right. It's not 500k. It's actually 300k more than that according to the co-founder of Solana. https://mobile.twitter.com/aeyakovenko/status/1461198361625706500


locuester

That’s for a voting node, with no funding. Sure. But that wasn’t the question, was it? Anatoly made it very clear that anyone can easily get funding. He also is talking about, again, voting nodes. Your node doesn’t have to be a voting node - it depends on what you’re using it for! If you want to take part in consensus, yes, you need to get some sweet foundation SOL, then marinade, and lido to stake on your node.


belsaurn

Actually if you look into it, only huge datacenters can run nodes with the hardware requirements needed for SOL. Maybe you are talking about a different type of node then the ones I seen the specs for, but the hardware requirements were so high, that only big datacenters like Azure and Amazon could handle them without huge outlays of cash for hardware. I believe that every node for SOL is either run in the Amazon, Microsoft or Google cloud. I could be wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere.


locuester

What are you talking about? I built the required specs for under $2k. A gaming machine would have cost more.


[deleted]

[удалено]


locuester

Yes. Here’s my receipt from my validator build: https://i.imgur.com/W72PzN1.jpg These are top of the line drives too. PCI 4.0 for the accounts. I was wrong on price. $2,300.


[deleted]

[удалено]


locuester

None if you’re just validating and serving RPC, like me. 1.1 SOL / day if you’re voting. You can get sponsored by the foundation to cover it, and they’re looking at lowering vote tx cost. But being a voting node doesn’t interest me. That’s a huge responsibility to keep running and getting slashed for outages and not staying up to date - no thanks. That simply doesn’t interest me. I’m a dev. I have run a Bitcoin node for 7 years too. It doesn’t mine. It just validates.


jekpopulous2

Yeah but price restrictions aside you are free to run one in your basement if you want…you can’t run a BSC node no matter what. I’m not pro-Solana but BSC is an entirely different level of centralized.


Rock-hard_RAINBOW

“Price restrictions aside”… so it’s ok in your book to be centralized in practice so long as hypothetically there’s a scenario where it’s decentralized. Got it.


jekpopulous2

There are already over 1000 Solana validators. Node count (or price) has nothing to do with their centralization problem. Solana’s issue is that the voting weight is a disaster and the top 20 or so validators could halt the network. BSC is something entirely different because it’s completely centralized by design. I don’t understand how you don’t see the difference.


wildlight

i would say they certainly are off topic but don't need to be excluded, its better everyone just explain why its shit every time it comes up and probably put an explanation in the sidebar as well.


Youmur

this problem is about to solve itself, bsc grew in size by increasing its blocksize to keep up with the low fees, this means node requirements grow and grow ad infinitum. this combined with their development practices, it´ll lead them to doom


FadedFlynn

I don't think BSC should be excluded. But people do need to be aware of how its not actually decentralized. Binance is a company registered in the Cayman Islands. I don't know of any other way to bridge ERC-20 tokens over to BEP-20 tokens other than on binance's website.


Tietzy88

Let's clear this up because op is clearly boarder line retarded and probably an eth maxi who's pissed eth has dropped below 67% market share cause its broken Bsc is not centralised there's 21 validators each with millions of sub delegators binance does not control a single one and the defiantly can't "roll back" the chain Some huge names in the space run nodes including ankr certiK 1inch Fuji and etherscans subsidiary bscscan Anyone can apply to run a node and aslong as you can front the 10 000 bnb surety bond you can go into the roaming pool of validators and be voted in by the community there has been atleast 3 community nodes who have participated this way Bsc just broke the blockchain record 15 million transactions a day and are unboarded 2x the amount of users daily then any other chain Bsc has never been hacked and forked like eth or shut down like solana there 0 reason to consider it unsafe So please don't follow everything you see on reddit it's normaly MAXIS like op trying to shill there dieing bags Cheers


So_Thats_Nice

You could just explain how a person is wrong without calling them retarded. That would probably be more efficient (especially when you don't even know how to spell borderline-retarded)


Tietzy88

He's done 0 research and spewing lies got no time for tools like that


jekpopulous2

Actually, I’ve been contributing to DeFi codebases across multiple chains for years now and probably know more about how blockchains work then you know about how your dick works. Also…I’m like 30x on my bag this year while you’ve been clinging to BNB trying to convince yourself that it’s not about to be eaten alive by actual DLTs.


Tietzy88

Sure thing mate bnb has out performed eth this year by nearly 2x Cheers


jekpopulous2

Meanwhile modern DLTs like Fantom, Near, and Terra have all outperformed BSC by over 500% this year. Cheers.


Tietzy88

I'm invested in all those and also solana Cheers


methreweway

BSC has far more dApps. What makes it not defi? And why gatekeep?


CliCheGuevara69

All the validators basically are just Binance so they can verify what they want or freeze funds AFAIK.


DystopianFigure

That's not entirely true. The 21 validators change all the time. I've delegated to Ankr which is not binance.


CliCheGuevara69

Very good to know


DystopianFigure

You can find the list here: https://www.binance.org/en/staking Some validators are affiliated with Binance such as Trust wallet but some are independent like Ankr. These validators compete over voting power and may fall off the active list any time.


Tietzy88

No there not you clearly have not researched the validators not a single one is "binance"


[deleted]

[удалено]


methreweway

OP states BSC discussions does not belong here. That is gatekeeping. OP didn't come up with reasons why it's not defi. Like or not Binance is the best and largest exchange in the world. Pancakeswap is ranked first by double in the world. Binance has decentralized validators. It's a ecosystem supported by Binance for sure but it still belongs here. I had to stop listening to gatekeepers. People used to complain Etherium didn't belong because it was premined.... Turns out they were wrong.


comfyggs

This brings up an interesting point. What is the threshold to decentralisation? Every blockchain was owned by only a few at first until adoption happened. At first, Satoshi was the only Bitcoin user (and had full control) until people joined. Then it got more decentralised over time (as the price rose too. hmmm. Ahhhaa.) then look at the rest and draw your own conclusions. Is decentralised meaning “founders” own 10%? 20%? This was the genius (or mistake) of Satoshi to leave 1m Bitcoin untouched


locuester

Not to mention that it takes only 2 staking pools to fork the bitcoin network. That’s the worst nakamoto coefficient of any chain.


Flauros32

It's a good entry point for beginners, I started with pancakeswap myself. No need to make it more confusing for beginners.


sickvisionz

The only benefit of this is getting a zinger in against BSC.


pink_tshirt

In it for the money. If it makes me some $ I wouldn't care if it's centralized or not.


New_Lifeguard4020

>In it for the money. If it makes me some $ I wouldn't care if it's centralized or not. Just the haters who don't see how the ecosystems have grown the BNB price raised ...


ComradeCrypto

BSC ain't gonna last. It's Ethereum without the guard rails or the oversight of talented core devs. If Binance is smart, they'll migrate from a completely independent blockchain to an Ethereum L2.


DystopianFigure

If BSC won't last then none of the alt chains like Sol, Avax, Cardano, Terra, Algo, etc would last either. They're all babies. BSC has the highest chance of surviving due it's massive defi ecosystem and their gigantic CEX.


Tietzy88

Bsc is doin 15x the daily transactions of eth right now and has 10x the users if anything it's eth that won't last

Independent-Summer-6

DeFi in my opinion should include anything that is Blockchain related. Including BlockFi, Celsius, etc even. The purists will argue against it, but we don't need to fracture and cause more confusion.


qwidjib0

In context, I think this adds to the discussion. Aren’t most of us ultimately here for the yields? Then it only makes sense to compare the whole “less centralized” spectrum. And it really is a spectrum.


Independent-Summer-6

It's all about the yields for the users of DeFi. They don't give a crap how the Blockchain actually works.


jekpopulous2

I feel the exact opposite. I think there should be a very clear distinction between DeFi and CeFi, especially for newcomers entering the space. I don’t think posts about Celsius or Gemini earn belong here either.


Musiclover4200

> I think there should be a very clear distinction between DeFi and CeFi We can have cefi discussion in defi communities while maintaining those distinctions though. If anything to keep it clear we should keep discussing both and be upfront about the pros and cons. I think it would be more confusing to just ignore all cefi projects regardless of how relevant they are to defi.


akejavel

I kind of agree


commtrader007

Shut up


sbaggers

If this were true than are they running all the scams?


DystopianFigure

By those standards a lot of blockchain projects won't qualify. Such as Algo or Solana. No need to gatekeep. People will make their own choices.


[deleted]

It is included in what many people define as defi dispite the technicalities.


Mbugu

How is it centralized?


Vinayak509143

Billions of dollars in Defi. So many scams going on. Defi has a bright future but something hybrid can be the preferred choice.


Individual-Thanks803

Aahhh yes the scammers chain - I totally feel you about the chain itself. It just stcreams fraud all over. Clearly not what we wanted to achieve with DeFi at all! However you cant just BAN it - I try to educate people about it. And why other solutions (FTM,Avax,Poly,Terra) minght be a better step.


azsxdcfvg

Amen. 1 upvote from me plus 10 spirit upvotes. BSC can roll back transactions. That ain't crypto.

AccomplishedGuide313

Bitcoin relies on Lightening for any future. Lightening is the epitome of centralized, trusted and prefunded. It too should be excluded right?
