This is Vitalik Buterin's writeup of the talks he's been giving in the SF Bay Area the past week (SV meetups, SF Coinsummit, etc). One of the most interesting parts he's elaborated a little more on in his actual talks is the SCIP protocol, especially SNARKs for C [1]. This could provide the PoW/PoS/PoC(omputation) in Ethereum, enabling transactions and smart contracts to be executed by a single node instead of all nodes, a major improvement in efficiency.
