Is Proof of Stake a security? A Debate! Adam Cochran vs Adam Levitin

9/20/2022
"I'll take the opposed, in that I think there is decent precedent to find ETH to not be a security in a post-merge environment. Let's breakdown some specifics:" In this readthrough I'm going to Twitter for the first time to read a 43 long tweet thread (yup - 43 tweets) by @adamscochran, aka Adam Cochran, Partner at CEHV and Adj. Professor of Info Sci/Biz Analysis. He analyzes whether Ethereum's shift to Proof of Stake makes it eligible to be names a security by the SEC and analyzes Ethereum...

Merge week replay: Why Proof of Stake by Vitalik Buterin

9/13/2022
IT'S MERGE WEEK! To celebrate I'm going back to the OG episode for this podcast - Vitalik's article on Why Proof of Stake! On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the...

The Bitcoin whitepaper! This is a plain readthrough of the whitepaper. Here is the conclusion of the Bitcoin Whitepaper, if you can understand this section, you've understood the whitepaper: "We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust. We started with the usual framework of coins made from digital signatures, which provides strong control of ownership, but is incomplete without a way to prevent double-spending. To solve this, we proposed a...

A look at the Lightning Network || Lyn Alden Part 3!

8/30/2022
"I continue to view the digitization of money as a key theme for the 2020s decade and beyond, both in bottom-up ways (e.g. bitcoins) and in top-down ways (e.g. central bank digital currencies), and am interested to see the directions that it goes in." Today we're reading part 3, the final part, of Lyn Alden's 1:30 hour long article on the state of network. This will be a 3 part series due to length. In the first part we'll cover why a medium of exchange first needs to be built on top of a...

A look at the Lightning Network || Lyn Alden Part 2!

8/23/2022
"All manner of individual hardware electronic devices became mostly-obsolete as they became applications on a smart phone. I view the Bitcoin/Lightning stack as being similar. The network is still tiny and has a lot of development work still to do, and nothing is for certain. But to me it looks like a powerful monetary network with a ton of upside potential over the next decade." Today we're reading part 2 of Lyn Alden's 1:30 hour long article on the state of network.

Emergency pod! Coincenter analysis of Tornado Cash sanction

8/16/2022
"If the purpose of sanctions is not to punish, but to change behavior, then it makes no sense to add to the SDN List an immutable smart contract that cannot change its behavior because it has no agency. It is not a person nor is it under the control of any person. By conflating the Tornado Cash Entity and the Tornado Cash Application and adding both to the SDN List, the government has essentially accomplished a ban on Americans using a particular internet tool without any clear prospect that...

A look at the Lightning Network || Lyn Alden

"A truly decentralized and permissionless payment network requires its own underlying self-custodial digital bearer asset. If instead it runs on top of the fiat currency system or relies on external custodial arrangements at its foundation, then it is neither decentralized nor permissionless."

GHOST: Secure High-Rate Transaction Processing in Bitcoin || Yonatan Sompalinsky and Aviv Zohar

8/2/2022
"Bitcoin is a disruptive new crypto-currency based on a decentralized open-source protocol which has been gradually gaining momentum. Perhaps the most important question that will affect Bitcoin’s success, is whether or not it will be able to scale to support the high volume of transactions required from a global currency system. We investigate the implications of having a higher transaction throughput on Bitcoin’s security against double-spend attacks. We show that at high throughput,...

"Tendermint is awesome. The future is now" Today we're diving into the original whitepaper on modern proof of stake blockchains: Tendermint. This paper from 2014 lays the groundwork for many of the proof of stake blockchains that come after and is the basis for the entire Cosmos ecosystem. We'll breakdown why proof of stake over proof of work how consensus is reached and the game models and theory for cooperation in the system. This is a great place to start from when you're exploring what...

Casper: The Friendly Finality Gadget || Vitalik Buterin & Virgil Griffith

7/19/2022
"We introduce Casper, a proof of stake-based finality system which overlays an existing proof of work blockchain. Casper is a partial consensus mechanism combining proof of stake algorithm research and Byzantine fault tolerant consensus theory. We introduce our system, prove some desirable features, and show defenses against long range revisions and catastrophic crashes. The Casper overlay provides almost any proof of work chain with additional protections against block reversions." Today...
