    Will staking rewards start at phase 0? Or will we have to wait until later phases to start earning rewards?

    DAI or USDC? Building a remittance and payment network for Lebanon and looking to integrate a stablecoin

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 05:13 PM PST

    I'm weighing the differences between using USDC and DAI in a payment platform we're building for Lebanon. Lebanon is in a currency crisis and the LBP will likely devalue shortly. Banks are restricting money movement and capital controls are in effect to most everyone.

    We're building a peer to peer payment app that will allow the diaspora (20% of the GDP in Lebanon is already remittance sent back) to fund the system by allowing them to buy crypto on third parties and funding their wallets. Each user will generate keys on their phone yet have a username on the platform to be able to send payments (Coinbase Wallet style).

    I believe this model (use remittance to fuel a payment network) has a lot of potential for not only Lebanon. The biggest hurdle to adoption is making the network effect strong enough such that the money in the system is useful outside the traditional financial services (that are currently non operation in Lebanon).

    Anyway, I'm weighing the options of using USDC vs DAI. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and maybe help make the argument for one or the other.

    Thank you

    Vitalik, you are wrong: The list of Anti-Sybil solutions you mention in your ‘Hard Problems in Cryptocurrency: Five Years Later’ won’t save you from Sybils. Idena will

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 04:28 AM PST

    https://vitalik.ca/general/2019/11/22/progress.html - this is quite a comprehensive overview of problems that are important for the cryptocurrency space by Vitalik Buterin.

    What's wrong with it?

    1. The problem with Sybil protection is not at all covered by the project list suggested in #15. Probably Vitalik is aware of the fact, this is why unique human identities are mentioned again in the conclusion, among the unsolved new problems of 2019.
    2. A known possible solution to the Sybil-protection problem is missing: https://idena.io/ - a proof-of-person blockchain proving the humanness and uniqueness by running an AI-hard Turing test at the same time for everyone around the globe. Idena's sybil-protection mechanism is based on the digital personhood concept which is a novel way to formalize people on the blockchain. It does not require collecting or storing personally identifiable information. The Idena blockchain is driven by proof-of-person BFT consensus: Every node is linked to one single person with equal voting power.
    3. "But exactly how much progress on what we thought then was important has been achieved?" - asks Vitalik in his overview. Those projects mentioned in the 'Anti-Sybil systems' list probably won't contribute to unique human identities issue. As for Idena, currently the blockchain is running the testnet with 130 nodes hosted by anonymous participants who have proven their unique personhood. Idena addresses are compatible with Ethereum. Welcome to test it and to contribute to the progress!

    Exactly as Vitalik puts it in the conclusion of his overview, Idena is that very solution for creating "unique-human identities (or, more realistically, semi-unique-human identities) ... with an emphasis on a less "absolute" solution: it should be much harder to get two identities than one, but making it impossible to get multiple identities is both impossible and potentially harmful even if we do succeed".
