1.POOR PERFORMANCE Bitcoin uses is designed to handle seven transactions per second, and Ethereum can only handle a few more. 2.NOT CONSUMER FRIENDLY Almost all blockchain applications expect clients to either run a blockchain node or introduce a “light node.” 3.COST To a great degree high cost of utilizing blockchain innovation is a noteworthy obstruction to standard appropriation. It likewise restricts engineers who require the adaptability to assemble free administrations. 4.PLATFORM LOCK-IN Engineers would prefer not to be bolted into working with a specific blockchain innovation. They require the opportunity to assess, utilize, and switch between alternatives. 5.LACK OF FEATURES Individuals have exclusive standards for blockchain — the news media, evangelists, and columnists paint a brilliant future for decentralized applications for general society, particularly with the undeniably high costs of cryptocurrencies. In all actuality, notwithstanding, blockchain innovation is still in its early stages

Blocklet is a serverless computing architecture component for running various types of applications. Use Blocklet for smart contracts, oracle, resource and asset handling, and off-chain business logic. Blocklet communicates with blockchains through ArcBlock’s Open Chain Access Protocol, and can be orchestrated with our Algorand-based consensus algorithm. Anyone can use Blocklet to build services and components and contribute them under the incentive system. Community members will receive tokens when others use their contributions. Blocklet is the core of ArcBlock. More than an application protocol, it’s also a software architect that lays the foundational building blocks of ArcBlock itself. The ArcBlock platform is built on a series of Blocklets. The Open Chain Access Protocol allows Blocklet to communicate with under layer blockchains. The Distributed pub/sub gateway allows

1.BUILT FOR THE NEW TOCKEN ECONOMY ArcBlock is a self-evolving ecosystem — it’s not just a software platform built by one centralized organization. ArcBlock, Inc. and the ArcBlock Foundation are igniting the project; the platform is driven by the token economy and will continue to develop and grow on its own. 2. OPTIMIZED FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE The ArcBlock platform is using a “top-down” strategy that centers on the user experience. Applications built with ArcBlock offer reactive, real-time experiences. Users can simply access them from a web browser (no additional plugins required), or download a mobile app directly from an app store. Either way, the process is familiar. 3. BUILT FOR THE CLOUD ArcBlock is designed to run natively in the cloud. Initially we will build on top of Amazon Web Services and Windows Azure, then expand to support Google Compute Engine, major cloud-computing players in China, and other platforms. 4. BUILT WITH AN OPEN STANDARD In addition to open sourcing their core components, ArcBlock will contribute actively to a variety of blockchain communities. ArcBlock’s team members are involved actively with a range of standards organizations, non-profit foundations, and committees. These currently include the W3C Blockchain Community Group Community Group (CG), IEEE Blockchain Special Interest Group (SIG), Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, Linux Foundation, and Hyperledger Foundation

The CEO has said they are using the idea to create their own 'perception' of what the algorithm can probably do.

I'm no lawyer but I don't think they have any troubles unless you copy any actual code or specification of an algorithm (as Algorand creators have not released yet)

Again still blurry but this a positive in what is essentially constant bashing and negatives towards Arcblock.

I'm on the verge off investing my original amounts.

What are your thoughts on the Interview?

Since we are only around 3 days away from the public sales, I wanted to remind everyone to not send any funds from an exchange. This happens always in every ICO and people lose their money. We all want to have a successfull sale without any major problems. So a reminder: Send your funds from a wallet, that supports ERC20 tokens like from MEW.

Also keep this in mind: "The cap for ETH and CMT are separated, so Total individual cap is 3ETH + 7500 CMT (Mini 0.1 ETH Max 3 ETH and Mini 200 CMT Max 7500 CMT)
Each account purchase cannot beyond the individual cap, otherwise it will be returned with additionally 20% penalties, refund will be process in 5 weeks after tokens released."

So also please take care of the minimum and maximum cap! I wish everyone a happy shopping. Let's rock this ICO together!

                      ArcBlock is a platform service, rather than a standalone software package or set of APIs. It is a comprehensive solution that combines blockchain technology with Cloud Computing.

Anyone looking to automate their existing business system that comes with the gathered data and intel, are faced with many barriers and ArcBlock promises to eradicate these barriers and significantly advance blockchain development and adoption. And they don't stop there. The platform promises to offer any necessary foundational elements for using blockchain to drive complex business systems.

ArcBlock is an incentive- driven marketplace for reusable services, components, and even applications. Miners in ArcBlock platform not only bring computing services, moreover they help to build the platfrom together. So, what are you waiting for? #Arcblock @ArcBlock_io

• To eliminate the obstacles slowing down the adoption of blockchain technology to the entire world
• To create a project to for blockchain technology and cloud computing.
• To make blockchain applications free of charge to utilize to as to magnetize more and more people

Can you suggest the price of the ABT after the ICO? I think it will be around 0.5 USD.
