Request for public feedback: how well organized / useful / understandable are our sharding and Casper educational materials? Posted: 15 Dec 2018 01:32 AM PST Currently, our main educational resources on Serenity / PoS / sharding are the following: The Proof of Stake FAQ: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQs The sharding FAQ: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Sharding-FAQs Eth2.0 research compendium: https://notes.ethereum.org/oa8wCimaTPGBl2nHuBTXWQ Eth2.0 spec: http://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs The Casper FFG paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09437 My goal is for the educational materials related to Casper and sharding to be as accessible as possible, for audiences of different specialties and different levels and sophistication. I would like to ask for feedback on all of our materials, from the most general to the most specific, including: Specific sentences or paragraphs in any of the content that does not make sense Sections of any documents that you think are outdated, incorrect, have the wrong emphasis, or are missing Ease of finding any specific information you're looking for Ease of understanding "what the heck is Casper and sharding in the first place" Ease of finding that the above sources exist and where they are Whether or not there are other fundamentally different formats of education that we should consider submitted by /u/vbuterin [link] [comments]

ethbattle.io: Strategy with dice on Ethereum Posted: 15 Dec 2018 01:14 PM PST Hey guys, I wanted to share the details of my new crypto game running on Ethereum. So, I used to like the idea of the fair dice, but nowadays there are so many clones of it that I decided it's time to move forward. I personally like gambling but hey all these casinos with their roulette and blackjack are way too boring. I'm either too lazy to play something that takes days to understand what the game is actually about. Hence, EthBattle. I made it as a nice compromise between the pure gambling and something smart with the strategy. No registration neither tokens needed, although there is one out there (GTA :) to boost the reward ​ I've written an article about the gameplay here: About EthBattle ​ What I like regarding the technical stuff: - the game is made on Wasm. So no influence on the gameplay (no JS logic), plus cryptography, plus event-based secrets for the smart contract, plus performance - a number of smart contracts. Fair prize pot, fair prize distribution - decent UX comparing to the most of DAPPs out there ​ Please come and play, here is my referral link if haven't yet: link submitted by /u/kirilivanov [link] [comments]

What happens when the chain is too big? Posted: 15 Dec 2018 12:34 AM PST Not being Fud, etc, genuinely curious if somebody could walk through the physical solution to an enormous block. Does it function like a linked list? submitted by /u/1randyrong1 [link] [comments]
