Not really.

Enterprise Blockchain focuses more on business needs that don't require the decentralization but do need the "journalistic" integrity blockchain offers.

For example, take security log files on a webserver: by storing new entries in a QLDB vault you can ensure that they become tamper proof should a malicious third-party gain access to them. They won't be able to reconstruct the underlying hashes at a given historical point moving forwards.

The term 'Quantum' in QLDB appears to be a marketing term and not related to post-quantum addressing schemes like XMSS/WOTS+.

That sort of "quantum" blockchain deals with the theoretical attacks on ECDSA addressing schemes; examples: Mochimo and QRL.

Amazon's appears to be an append-only journaling system based on SHA256. It's unclear from the documentation whether it just hashes each transaction and maintains a verifiable/uninterruptable chain of hashes, or whether it also injects a Proof-of-Work style iteration based on nonces to make "reconstructing" the blockchain unfeasible.

If you copy/pasted the result of the Show Original it wouldn't work, true. But still easily reproducible based on the attack vector description.

Hi, original author here. The issues are still unresolved as of this morning.

Wait until the bottom falls out of Tether.

GM Darwin was not invited onto the development team =)

Exactly, which is why we went indie and have remained that way with Shards Online.

Big companies would never run this kind of game - we all came from working for the larger publishers, and many of us from working on Ultima Online.

The whole idea is to build a full MMO and then turn it over to the players. Will we run our own servers? Sure! We can do events, live patches, and add new content regularly. But the most important thing is to have a highly polished end product that community servers don't just treat like middleware: it's a full game to customize how they see fit!

We should mention that this is actually Round #2 with Kickstarter.

When we didn't reach our first goal, we continued development with our own money (as we had been doing from the inception of the game). As former leads on Ultima Online, we have a solid vision for what we want to bring forward to the gaming world, as well as the sandbox and production experience to make it happen.

Kickstarter is all about accelerating and enhancing development of our core tech. One nice thing that differentiates us from most Kickstarters that have a bunch of concept art and a pitch is that we have a working game already built. Now it's all about fleshing it out into a full MMO so we're not just recreating a middleware market.

Shards Online is all about building an amazing sandbox game, and then giving the full content over to players.

May I interest you in Shards Online: A Customizable Sandbox RPG? :)

We felt the same way, and as former UO devs we wanted to create a fully playable MMO with all its systems that can be modded by anyone at anytime.

I can tell it's definitely the real deal and in no way an April Fool's joke!

Where are my mod points when I need them?

But I believe the 32x32 tile size is the same for RPG Maker. Regardless, like the contest says, these tiles could work in a variety of genres and its exciting to see more art become available from the community!
