    Shoot down my idea: Web2.0 is a book & web3.0 is a symphony

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 08:06 PM PST

    A smartphone is not smart.

    If it is really smart, you should be able to ask "show me how much money I have", it should summarise your balance over the three banks you have an account with, minus the credit card debts, tell you the final result in a number.

    If really smart, when you go to a layby counter to pick up an online order, your smartphone should give you the order ID without you rummage through your emails. It should be able to prove your identity in one go, as well, and not needing you to find your NSW Digital Driver Licence app to get your identity displayed.

    Why can't smartphones do that? Why can't it integrate all the services its apps can provide? The problem isn't specific to smartphone. In fact, the web works that way too. The only place where the web is more or less integrated is your inbox, but even that is barely integrated. For example, for an email "a package is available for pick up", you wouldn't know if you already picked it up since an email can't be updated.

    The web is modelled after a conversation model - you go to a website first, then converse with that website. Smartphones simply inherited the model. But the web didn't market itself being smart - it is marked as being "connected". So today's smartphone is just as smart as the web. It should be called "ConnectedPhone" really.

    When the web was designed, the prevailing thinking is the "Computer-Human interaction" model, where a computer tries to have a conversation with a human. The web, which allows millions of computers to be networked, extended that model in a model I call "cocktail party conversation": you can have a conversation with any computer in the party, and if they mention something that only another computer knows, you can walk to that computer and start a new conversation.

    This is how the web was built. You can access a website. Everything on that website is from, er, that website, until you decide to follow a link to a different website. Like moving to another cocktail party guest, you walk to the new website and talk.

    On today's smartphones, each app is like a website. Although each of them provides mobile-friendly functions, like rotating screen and notifications, each one is on its own. They are like The Smurfs - each one is a little helper, but your mobile phone is like the Smurf village. When you use a smartphone, it's more like a window to access each Smurf one at a time than a smart personal assistant. In reality, it's not smarter than the web. The web is about "connected", what smartphone is about? Smartness? Google is more aware of this problem in this area. It tried to provide a "unified front" of services through Google Assistant. If you ask how to go to the nearest hospital, it gives not only the destination but also the means to get there: 30 minutes if you drive, 34 minutes if you use a Uber driver at $30. Google's way of solving this problem has two serious limitations - it can't provide a service without having access to the user's sensitive information, and it can't be easily extended.

    Tl;Dr: Web3.0 will be a seamless web of services, we are building this vision and if this takes your interest, see our paper here: https://github.com/AlphaWallet/TBML/blob/master/doc/design_paper.md

    5min video explaining how the Beacon chain will work

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 09:45 PM PST

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the beacon chain and how it works with terms like crosslinks, validators, attestation, committees, etc. It would be cool to see a video kind of diagram it out. Does a video like this exist? Would anyone be interested in making one?

    web3.js participation

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 05:40 AM PST

    I've been working with the web3.js package for a couple of years now, and in the last couple months I've tried to help with the repo. I mostly see Samuel around, so I don't know whom to contact regarding further cooperation.

    Personally I'm very focused on adoption and education, so I'd like to make sample usage of web3.js functions. Like building concise, well-documented examples that clearly show how to use the web3.js API. Unlike other areas of Ethereum, I feel that the web3.js team is a bit hard to get a hold of, so any directions are highly appreciated.


    To have something to show: here is an example of a wrapper package I built https://web3-yeet.github.io/.

    EDIT: Forgot a contact point: cehhiro@cehhiro.com. Sorry!

    Is staking for validators live? If so, how do you become one?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 01:44 PM PST

    Sorry, I've been away from crypto for a while. Since the hard fork was a success, is staking for validators live now? Is there a accurate and simple guide someone can refer me too please? Also, from my understanding you need 32 Ethers. Was there a conclusion on how much the accurate % return is and if it varies for each validator, what are the factors that vary that % return?
