    Proof of Funds

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 03:55 PM PST

    A friend of mine needs to prove to someone else that they control a certain amount of ether. Is there a standardized process for doing this? I know he can sign a message, but I'm wanting exact wording with clear instructions for both parties. I'm wanting to expand on this article: https://medium.com/yopiter/proving-ownership-of-a-cryptocurrency-86a96f2c52b

    Here is the what I'm thinking:

    Proving Party:

    1) Move X ether to a new account.

    2) Sign a message from that new account saying something to the effect of "I, $NAME, have access to the Ethereum account $ACCOUNT. As of $DATE, this account has X ether."

    3) Send the message and signature to the verifying party

    Verifying Party:

    1) Verify the signature with something like https://etherscan.io/verifySig. This proves they have access to the account. The actual message could be a lie though.

    2) Check the balance of the address in the message to verify they actually have the funds.

    I think most everyone would be fine using etherscan, but if they want to run a node and do all the verifying with their own clients, that is possible to.

    I do want to find a clear way to say that the signature really only proves ownership of the keys and the message itself has to verified separately. I'm not sure if the message should have more things in it that aren't actually proven by the signature. Like having it say "I, $NAME, have sole access to the Ethereum account." Things like that can't actually be verified without trusting a third party and so maybe it shouldn't be included at all.

    In my case, the proving party is familiar with cryptocurrency, but this is the verifying party's first major interaction with it. I want to have a system that works for novices on both sides. Thoughts? Have I missed a standard?

    Ethereum-graph-debugger rewritten and now interactive!

    Link to the repo: https://github.com/fergarrui/ethereum-graph-debugger

    https://i.redd.it/pdt46q8kx7e21.gif

    I did a post about the first version some time ago: Old post

    Now, rewritten, with a sepparate UI (by Swolfeyes) and API to make it interactive and easier to use.

    Please go to the repo's readme for more information.

    All suggestions, feedback and opinions more than welcome!!

    Question about shard partitions and inter-shard communication

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 07:52 AM PST

    I try to stay in touch with sharding development but there is a question I couldn't find an answer to. It seems to me that the trade-off inherent to a sharded blockchain is that cross-shard communications must be slower than intra-shard communication since a node only knows the current states in the shard is validating (I read an estimate of 6 minutes for a cross shard transaction on ethresear.ch). If sharding is to become a true scaling solution and we imagine a future ethereum blockchain with 100+ shards, this means that on average more than 99% of all transactions will be slow cross shards transactions and finality in the sharded blockchain become much much slower than in a non-sharded one. This is of course if the account partition into the different shards is more or less random. So what do researcher imagine to circumvent this problem? Do they imagine a future where accounts will be in the same shard as the accounts they are most likely to interact with? If yes how would that works? Thanks for the answers

    FREE: Add a ETH to USD exchange rate calculator to your site

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 06:56 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    A friend and I have been working on a free embedable crypto calculator. It contains over 2,000 digital assets including ETH, bitcoin, ERC20s, Stellar assets etc. The exchange rate can be calculated into 5 different fiat currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, HKD, and JPY.

    You can add it to your website within a few minutes and I created some educational videos showing you how for your CMS: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFUz39K6LLxxRYGcDSaO3CA

    I think this could be a really helpful little tool for webmasters to improve user experience for free.

    Would really appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks, Chris - Coinponent

    How do you think the role of GDPR will play in blockchain adoption? And, will an increase in compliance with GDPR make it harder to comply with KYC requirements?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 10:23 PM PST

    Read an article yesterday on ZCash and their thoughts on how privacy will be a key factor in adoption due to its compliance with GDPR requirements. But it got me thinking —- does that make it more difficult to comply KYC requirements? Could we use Zero Knowledge proofs as a means of complying with kyc requirements by verifying key pairs? (asking, not sure myself. Still learning)
