How to best get in touch with you privately? There is a lot of interesting research we had to do with regard to implementing byzantine consensus and securing large amounts of value using this same kind of underlying framework. We use Kademlia DHT for swarming and then rely on some mathematical papers from 2007-2015 to estimate the probability of taking over a section of the network and preventing further progress. You’ll need to periodically shuffle consensus groups and a few other things, in order to recover from sabotage. I had to speak to Leslie Lamport, the people at SAFE network, Ripple etc. about aspects of the system.
As it is right now, are you planning to have byzantine consensus for these contracts? Or just try to do verifiable computation?
- sanity31415 5y agoState changes propagate virally through peers storing any given contract. If a peer doesn't get an update for whatever reason there are a variety of mechanisms that get it back in sync ASAP, so it will be eventually consistent. The contract ensures that the state is valid both before and after any change and every peer who sees the state will ensure it is valid, so it is verifiable computation in that sense. Happy to chat - you can pm me on reddit or twitter, username "sanity" in both cases.
