    Nethermind Updatestorm

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:19 AM PST

    We have been working on multiple improvements, optimizations and integrations for the Nethermind Ethereum 3 (1+2) client.

    Before listing the items that we have been working on in the last months I would like to say huge thank you too all the contributors to the project via GitCoin! While we were only able to submit our project in the very last day of the last matching round we got some super motivating contributions from you!

    Also as always huge thanks to all the users and testers out there!

    The things we have done:

    • optimized JSON RPC requests (submillisecond response times)
    • added support for all flavours of JSON RPC requests (IDs in hex, number, string, GUID)
    • added full support for Istanbul on all networks
    • added full support for AuRa (both synchronization and validation) allowing Nethermind to sync various AuRa based chains including xDai, POA and EWF chains
    • improved overall performance of our major sync operations by further 30%
    • with 1337 added an Alpine linux based Docker image
    • added support for various keystore formats (Metamask, MyCryptoWallet)
    • added multiple improvements for the Data Marketplace solution with better tx management, UI and 'offchain' modes
    • added support for Eth2 SSZ
    • added support for Eth2 Sparse Merkle Trees / merkleization
    • added support for Eth2 cryptography (BLS)
    • added handling for various non-standard networking behaviours from other clients improving general connectivity
    • improved the list of operations supported by a built-in CLI
    • added a built-in ethstats support
    • added tools for fuzz testing
    • added tools for EVM benchmarking

    We are working now on:

    • design work for an integrated DeFi execution engine
    • discovery v5 implementation
    • Eth2 beacon chain
    • Eth2 staking support
    • DappNode and ARM64 (Raspberry Pi) images

    Moving Ethereum from personal to business

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:53 PM PST

    Anyone have any insight on the legalities of how to put your personal well crypto in general into a business name? Do I just claim the assets on my businesses balance sheet? Or do I need to go through some other process with my business banking accounts?

    Theoretically, what is the best path forward to tokenize MMO-esque virtual items on Ethereum?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 12:08 AM PST

    I think u/vbuterin has mentioned, if not long ago, the desire to play an MMO if it was built on blockchain. Personally, I always resonated with the concept of "true ownership" and wanted to pursue a small POC I've been drafting.

    Let's take a legendary item "The Great Battlesword of Truth" - currently I've only considered making this an ERC-721 token, and then using some Layer 2 solution (maybe Matic's Network, or perhaps OMG's Plasma) to get the tx/s I'm looking for at scale (10k/s+).

    A few questions specifically about the token I have struggled with, and would love to discuss further, if anyone wants to discuss this further or point me in a place where I can really research these for myself:

    1. Do I mirror the item in a database that constantly scans the blockchain for updates whenever the game state updates?
    2. If, as the owner, I want to delete my legendary item, is there a way to delete it? Essentially, to "un-mint" the token as if it never existed?
    3. Can I modify the state of my item and record that state easily on the blockchain? For example, if I wanted to enhance it with a rare enhancement (which may also be tokenized), or perhaps disassemble the item into components which can be used as materials. I'm assuming as the item owner I could access a special contract component to generate a set of new contracts, but what happens to previous builds?
    4. Any recommendations on the best random # generator to use to generate attributes for a given token's metadata? For example, if I wanted to make an event trigger a % chance of a certain tier of item, which would then at a % chance be assigned a stat distribution, all which I would load when minting the item via its constructor. Is my best option here to do some of this off-chain, or is there a reliable and "provably-fair" way of doing this inside of the blockchain's ecosystem?
    5. Any blockchain games using ERC-721 really well that you'd recommend? I know only of Chainbreakers (Obviously DCL's LAND and Cryptokitties, but need not discuss these).
    6. Can ERC-721 tokens be non-unique? In the rare case two players generate two of the exact same item, could this cause an issue, since the tokens are inherently non-fungible?
    7. Is there another token standard I should be investigating?

    Happy to hear anyone's thoughts and input - this is all theoretical, I have just gotten into smart contracts this past month, but was hoping to look at building a first prototype for a probabilistic item generator.
