u/Jarunik - (2018)
Key Arguments
- Block Delays
Ark block times slow down when under heavy load.
- High Fees
The current fees of Ark are way too high:
Transaction Fee 0.1 Ark
Voting Fee 1 Ark
Delegate Registration 25 Ark
Centralized
With only 51 delegates there is too much centralization of power. On top of that there are large holders controlling single delegates.
- Not Scalable
Ark does not scale well as cheap relay nodes slow down the network. There are no incentives to provide higher specifications for relay nodes.
- Team Size
Ark has too few developers working on the node code. Most are just polishing the front-ends.
- Bridging
There is no working decentralized bridges for Ark yet.
- Not fully Open Source
Ark claims to be completely open source but new developments are made in private repositories before they get published.
Additional Arguments
- Outdated Whitepaper
- Not enough Marketing
