    The 6th #ScalingNOW Talk w/ µRaiden, hosted by Giveth

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 05:11 AM PST

    /u/GrifffGreeen, co-founder of Giveth is hosting a number of talks on Ethereum Scaling options, n° 6 is just out!

     

    ScalingNOW! #6 is a talk with Loredana from Brainbot & r/RaidenNetwork about using µRaiden for Scaling NOW!

     

    A talk on how DApps can almost effortlessly implement offchain payment channels NOW.

     

    This is a technical discussion: if you are a DApp developer considering a sidechain solution, you are the target audience.

    ScalingNOW! #6 -- Rewatch this talk here NOW

     

    This is the 6th episode in our ScalingNOW! Interview Series. There are a lot of projects focusing on finding a scaling solution for Ethereum, and this series highlights the ones that have solutions NOW! Each of them has their head down plowing forward with their solution and most don't have time to effectively communicate about their solutions. We are going to pull them out of their dark dev cave for everyone so that we can all understand our options for launching the DApps ASAP.

    On 5th-6th March we are hosting, in collaboration with r/web3, a two day 'ScalingNOW!' Gathering in Barcelona. Representatives from Cosmos, POA Network, Parity, Truebit, Counterfactual, Giveth and Raiden are joining and the invitation is extended to all DApp developers in need of immediate scaling solutions. Invitation for those working on scaling solutions here and for all DApp devs needing solutions here.

    If you missed the first ScalingNOW! talks, you can watch them here - all ScalingNOW! posts at r/Giveth  

    Join the ScalingNOW! discussion on Riot here

     

    Giveth is an Open-Source Platform for Building Decentralized Altruistic Communities, join us.

    Hey everyone, this post about bitcoin PoW mining in r/environment is shedding other cryptos like Ethereum in a negative light due to power consumption. Let's get loud about proof of stake and let them know about it by upvoting the comments about it.

    MicroRaiden Payment Channel Question

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 02:56 PM PST

    Hi! I'm making a service that requires many micropayments to many different peers. An example would be: I click a button and need to pay 10 people.

    I click another button and need to pay 10 completely different people.

    I click another button and I need to pay 5 of the same people, 5 different people.

    Does MicroRaiden have a solution for this, because it would be a lot of on-chain transactions to make that many payment channels. Would a solution to this be more likely to be implemented in the full raiden network maybe?

    Also, can payment channels have a time expiry, or close based on certain conditions being met in a smart contract?

    Thanks :)

    Decentralized derivatives on Ethereum blockchain!

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 06:48 AM PST

    Why Derivatives?

    A derivative is a contract deriving value from something else (an underlying asset). Forwards, futures, options and swaps are popular types of derivatives. Derivatives have two main components, the base currency and the underlying asset. Users make or lose the base currency as the underlying asset moves. For example, the S&P 500 future at the CME trades in dollars (base currency) and derives value from a basket of S&P 500 stocks (underlying asset).

    Why is this important?

    Derivatives are used for risk management, as well as, providing price exposure to an underlying asset.

    Risk Management

    Derivatives allow Traders to hedge price risk.

    Why does this matter to the crypto world? Some tokens are designed to provide the token owner utility. For example, if you own XYZ token you can borrow or lend on their platform. The price volatility of the token may exceed the utility associated with owning the token. MARKET Protocol allows Traders the ability to hedge the price risk associated with owning the token, while maintaining custody of XYZ token and consuming the utility.

    Price exposure

    As derivative relationships, traders never actually take custody of the underlying asset, instead they have similar price exposure as if they owned the underlying asset. For example, this means users can receive price exposure to cross chain crypto assets without actually taking custody, storing or going on exchange all from the Ethereum blockchain.

    So what about MARKET?

    MARKET Protocol ("MARKET") has created a unique contract that derives value from an underlying asset settling in the future, using smart contracts and blockchain technology. With MARKET any ERC20 token can be used as collateral to gain price exposure to something else, like gold, oil, stocks, bonds, bitcoin or another ERC20 asset..

    MARKET Smart Contracts are similar to traditional derivatives in that they are a contract between two or more individuals, which settle in the future based on the price of an underlying asset. Traders can create relationships like AAPL/USDT or SALT/ETH utilizing their digital assets as collateral without converting to fiat currency.

    Traders deposit collateral funds in the base token into the MARKET Smart Contract prior to trading. At execution, the funds become locked guaranteeing contract solvency. MARKET provides the framework necessary enabling Traders to buy and sell assets in a safe, solvent and trustless marketplace.
