It relied on a central authority to work, and that's very related to why it no longer works.

In that video he searches for the griftiest projects and treats them as defining the whole technology. Suggesting it as an answer here is like responding to a question about how eBay is engineered and showing off the scammiest eBay auction

There's a new block about every 13 seconds. Each validator will get its share of "wins" over time.

>The only downside of course being that it essentially hard-codes the "1% of people make 99% of the money" principle. Anyone can stake, and the more people that stake, the smaller the reward, so the result should end up being t

A randomly chosen crypto project (including ones that use Ethereum) will probably be mostly nonsense, but Ethereum itself is a serious project with interesting deep engineering.

There are validator pools that let people stake smaller values.

Nginx was written in C. Multithreaded code in a language that doesn't provide any safety rails is hard to get right, and so is async code. They probably figured that the complexity of doing both async and multithreading outweighed the

For almost anything more interactive than a static document, modularizing UI code primarily based on component boundaries makes a lot more sense than modularizing primarily based on markup / interactivity / styling boundaries.

VDO Ninja is great. I've used it to stream on Twitch with a friend, so that each of us could have a live video capture in the Twitch stream. (The main streamer uses OBS, added a browser source pointing to a VDO Ninja room, and then the

Yeah, it seems like a lot of effort to do things in a fragile way when regular hooks are capable of getting similar results in a standard way.

Where did you get the idea that slashing is done by centralized/trusted bounty hunters? It's completely wrong and I'm not sure how someone could come to that idea in good faith. (Maybe you're misunderstanding some unrela

Actually, somewhat related: it turns out that the owner of KF was also hosting a literal neonazi website in addition to KF. ( https://twitter.com/keffals/status/1566335693663731712 ) If I did seem to call KF or its

I was referring to Stormfront there and how you called that situation "the Stormfront debacle", as if the bad thing about the situation was CF stopping working with them.

An exclusive focus on getting legal repercussions for the people who acted against KF and not any focus on legal repercussions for KF is some false neutrality.

It blows my mind that someone would judge a company for not hosting a literal neonazi website.

The nothing-at-stake problem was solved many years ago by introducing slashing. The earliest proof of stake systems did not have slashing (they did not actually put validators' funds "at stake"; the use of the word "stak

It's interesting that the funding for this came from the Zcash Community Grants. There's a lot of money involved with cryptocurrency and a lot of it gets invested into the software involved. It's interesting that in this case

This was an initiative by the Tor Project itself, in order to make their codebase easier to work on and more secure.

Validators in proof of stake have less control than miners had in proof of work. They don't control the rules, they just control the order transactions get into blocks. They can't even censor transactions unless a majority of va

A lot of UFO videos seem to be some kind of optical effect. The object rotates exactly in tune to when the HUD shows that the camera is rotating. The object suddenly zips away as soon as the HUD shows that the camera has suddenly stopped ro

It frustrates me how in many discussions people act as if certain controversial research is always obviously correct and objective science up against inherently anti-science people tearing it down. Not at all! Plenty of it is of science spe

Locking up some currency is better than a similar amount being continuously needlessly spent on mining hardware and electricity.

There are some old articles that get this wrong, because years ago it was planned that sharding support would get added at the same time as the shift to PoS (in an upgraded called "Eth2"), and sharding support would result in lowe

The Avalanche Bridge isn't trustless. It's dependent on specific privileged operators to continue functioning who have the ability to cheat or get hacked.

The previous post is completely making up the concept of slashers being an exclusive role. People should not be coming to any conclusions from a thread that starts off so wildly disconnected from reality.

When updating deeply-nested immutable objects, the Immer library is great. You call the `produce(immutableValue, draft => { ... })` function with some immutable value and a callback function that manipulates a mutable proxy object mimick

It seems like almost always if you want to do anything during unmount, it's cleaning up something you set up in a useEffect call, which you also want to do any time the useEffect call's dependency list changes, so it being part of

It's not using the future random numbers to decrypt the value. It's making use of the underlying protocol that the League of Entropy is using primarily but not exclusively for calculating fair random numbers. I believe (admittedly

Isn't that just temporary until the public release? Or is the article misleading by calling it open source?

Deno optionally supports lock files, though its current lock files are just for asserting that specific URLs have specific hashes rather than controlling where/which dependencies are found. Maybe its lock files will be extended for han
