ASIC Resistant Hard Fork Discussion Overview Posted: 11 Apr 2018 02:02 PM PDT I am speaking on behalf of myself, Hudson Jameson, and not on behalf of the Ethereum Foundation or any other entity. However, I am a lawyer/doctor and this post is both medical and legal advice. Just kidding, it isn't. Hey all! I've been closely following the debate that has been happening across social media and chat channels the past 2 weeks regarding the possibility of designing and implementing a new ASIC resistant proof-of-work algorithm. The debate is over whether or not we should hard fork the Ethereum network in order to prevent ASIC miners from operating. I am in the unique position of organizing and running the bi-weekly core developer meetings and have been active in the ecosystem for a while. I want to make sure both sides feel like they are heard. This post is meant to provide context and offer next steps for both sides of the argument. Facts
This next section is my best effort at summarizing the arguments from both sides. I am numbering them to make it easier to reference a specific argument for or against. Pro ASIC Resistance (PAR)There are 2 great resources that provide more detail to these bullet points.
Pro Doing Nothing (PDN)There are 2 great resources that provide more detail to these bullet points.
How long until Casper is launched?This seems to be a sticking point in many of the arguments. Here is the latest: Researchers are in the process of finalizing the code for the 2nd stage of the testnet with the goal of completing and freezing the full specification of the Casper PoS algorithm. geth and Parity could start implementing parts of the Casper today. Casper is currently being formally verified by Runtime Verification which should take another 4-5 months to complete. Multiple academic groups are also looking at Casper. A formal EIP on Casper is being worked on and will be released for review in the next 2 weeks. The plan is to have Runtime Verification formally verify Casper, relaunch a custom Casper testnet with specs from the EIP, relaunch the contract on an Ethereum testnet, and finally launch Casper on the mainnet. There is no official timeline and there is unlikely to be one, in my opinion, until we get much closer to Casper being formally verified. (40:23) So what now?Well I for one am going to make myself a whiskey. Not because this was stressful, but because I enjoy whiskey. I actually find this pretty fun. Anyways, if you are in the PAR group I suggest you act on your convictions and help with some of the EIPs being produced. If you are in the PDN group you can provide counter-arguments to the PAR group in forums/chat rooms. Currently the rough consensus of Ethereum core developers is that of the PDN group. However, my experience is that they are open to whatever the community wants as long as community consensus, or something close to it, can be demonstrated. There are many ways to determine this, including voting and discussions and EIPs. I encourage everyone to participate in this process. You said a thing wrong!If you feel like I left off an argument or made a mistake in this post let me know in the comments. I'll track edits at the bottom of this post. Later! [link] [comments] | ||
Really ??? Deepak Chopra on Ethereal Summit Posted: 11 Apr 2018 09:02 AM PDT https://twitter.com/EtherealSummit/status/984089050117263360?s=19 Why would anyone invite this guy to a serious conference? Look at what is message is e.g. on YouTube debating Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris. He is an insult to the academic community using scientifically sounding gibberish nonesense as the foundation of his "cult". First time I am starting to get worried about Ethereum/Consensys.

The Ethereum Billboard - An advertising social experiment powered by IPFS & Ethereum Posted: 11 Apr 2018 09:27 AM PDT https://www.ethereumbillboard.net/ I thought I'd share a little project I'v been working on for the last little while! The Ethereum Billboard was made for two core reasons: to test out the capabilities of Ethereum and IPFS in regards to creating digital scarcity in media, but most importantly to carry out a social experiment that lies at the intersection of conceptual art, cutting edge tech, and a discussion of issues relevant to our times. On the billboard, you can pay some Ether to display anything you want, as long as you pay more than the last person. We want to explore themes of cryptoeconomics, free speech, and human nature. We have no idea how this is going to turn out, but we're certainly very curious about the message that the "winning ad" will send. Put your ether where your mouth is! [link] [comments] | ||
Wanna see an exemple of FB crypto-censorship ? Posted: 11 Apr 2018 08:34 AM PDT a bit of context : we're a small Work Cafe based in Lisbon and we're hosting several educational meetups per week focused on tech. We are very proud to host our first meetup in Portuguese. (90% of or current costumer base is digital nomads so primary language used here is English) We don't usually advertise what we do but that being a special occasion we wanted to spend a few spare bucks to try to reach a Portuguese-speaking audience by having an ad campaign on FB. So yeah nothing is lost, it's not hurting what we do in any way but i still think that's a shame that we can't share educational stuff on a social media. Please work on Akasha (or any akasha,peepeth-like Dapps), i can't wait to be able to leave FB for good! [link] [comments] | ||
