Proof of Steak
- spyremeown 5y agowtf I love crypto now
- gautamcgoel 5y agoAs was pointed out on Twitter, this paper, while amusing, should not have made it through arXiv moderation, as the arXiv specifically prohibits "joke" submissions in favor of papers which are, at least ostensibly, serious scientific contributions.

- theteapot 5y agoAt least it knows it's a joke.
- xenocratus 5y agoNot quite related to joke articles, potentially worse though: https://www.chronicle.com/article/why-did-a-peer-reviewed-journal-publish-hundreds-of-nonsense-papers https://www.chronicle.com/article/why-did-a-peer-reviewed-jo...
- jopela 5y agoTo me, this undermines the credibility of the other content since the "joke" tries to portray as genuine by being published on arxiv. It sort of dilutes to credibility of others.
- varenc 5y agoArxiv isn’t supposed to be a badge of credibility. It’s literally the place any academic can dump a paper to have it stored free forever. Many academic papers that never make it into journals are stored there. From their homepage they say: > Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv That said, they shouldn’t actively accept joke papers of course.
- thomasahle 5y agoWhich is good, since people shouldn't get the impression that arxiv implies credibility
- michaelhoffman 5y agoIt has "Comments: This is a silly article". Was that not there initially?
- Pinus 5y agoBack in the day, this got published in SIGGRAPH proceedings: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220721478_Ray_tracing_Jell-O_brand_gelatin https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220721478_Ray_traci... .

- antognini 5y agoI don't mind joke publications on the arXiv as long as they at least save it for April 1.

- mr_sturd 5y agoBut bovine livestock is a massive contributor to global warming!
- coding123 5y agoImpossible Foods is definitely going to fork this.
- tromp 5y agoI understand that Proof of Steak can be combined with Proof of Wok...
- jcytong 5y agoOnly if we open sauce...
- GloriousKoji 5y agoSounds like we're ready to strfry.
- charles_f 5y agoWell if you read the paper it's clearly stated that it comes as an alternative after the recent crackdown of China on Proof of Wok.
- lapetitejort 5y agoPlease don't implement Proof of Steak and Proof of Wok without Proof of Spice.
- gumby 5y agoThis proves how hollow claims of "green crypto" are. This is about as far from a vegan token as you can get.
- dvt 5y agoThe crypto hate/trolling is getting very boring here on HN. Do we really have to relitigate this every single day? Flagging.

- amenghra 5y agoDidn’t bother reading but I hope they used hash browns for their secure hashing function.
- ggambetta 5y agoThe Meatverse uses a cryptographic hache: https://meatver.se https://meatver.se

- spiznnx 5y ago>Animal welfare and rights are also crucial for creating a trustworthy and reliable Proof-of-Steak platform. We go beyond traditional animal welfare requirements by affording our animals all of the rights granted to “natural persons” under the GDPR. To comply with GDPR Article 25 on data protection by design, we use differential privacy and distributed analytics [2] to obfuscate the identity of any given Kobe cow so as to prevent them from being singled out. Ok, that's pretty funny.
- warabe 5y agoCould someone give me a good pointer for Proof of Stake? Most of websites I can find are just bag of buzzword and totally useless.
