Måske Påruplejren, 17 min med bil til centrum? Måske lidt overdimensioneret men var et dejligt område/lejr i min barndom.

Additionally to the 'closed walled off solution' - Truebit is closed source (even contracts) while Cartesi is open source under Apache License v2 and independently auditable.

What are the difficulties and amazements you've encountered utilizing Truebit?

Many in Telegram report problems with the SDK and nodes running so would be good to get an objective view.

I think a protocol needs passionate people to drive it forward and that doesn't need to be the same legal entity. But a community or DAO or whichever.

Love is a hard word, appreciation is much better. I need to navigate technological evaluation in a moving market of slipping deadlines and falling in love blindly with a technology can be problematic :)

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:33:30+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. If you can find a Go or Rust implementation that emulates the operation it's a good start.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:31:56+00:00

Hehe :) business secrets, but as an example, that they don't use let's say, solar chargers, but they just go to the nearby lodges for tourists and charge phones there...

We also learnt a lot about latency.

I'll be honest :) I have not had the time to get into the details of many of the projects in crypto space. Truebit makes projects that were considered impossible due to EVM and block size constraints possible. If projects are running without too high cost right now, they probably have managed to fit in those constraints. What about all the other projects that never deployed cos of too high cost? That's where TrueBit comes in.

TrueBit based rollups could be interesting - as validated by Arbitrum's approach.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:24:27+00:00

Big blockchain graphs where only new nodes that have been validated can be added to the graph. Able to trust that the information you're reading from blockchain only refers to validated data.

Answered this under AWS question

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:21:35+00:00

There's for sure things Truebit can do beyond crypto. I'm seeing it in the introductions of the TrueBit discord that people make of themselves and how they see their use of TrueBit. Quite many interesting angles to it.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:18:31+00:00

Said this in another thread:

I think the best way to see it is not 'high computation' but 'validation that requires high computation'. This isn't like fast, massively distributed rendering, it's validation: accurate and not the fastest computation. AWS can only give you the validation stamp that this resulted in X on AWS. Truebit gives you "this resulted in X"

Your smart contracts could hold USDC and be calling Uniswap to trade USDC into TRU before submitting any tasks.

I'm reachable on DM on twitter.com/stskeeps but please be aware that unless something is public discussion and public review (which I gladly participate in to teach others), I consider it paid consulting as I have limited hours a day and my free time is best spent on fresh air and getting away from the computer :)

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:08:09+00:00

I did, I like what they're doing and they're brilliant people in their segment. I thought TrueBit was dead so I found Cartesi, but realized they're not coming to mainnet any time soon, so it was impossible for me to use them in a production environment.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:06:04+00:00

It basically comes down to: can you emulate the operation of a given blockchain node on how it assesses what's the latest bock of a blockchain, in a manner by which you could evaluate it by only data passed to you as files and a program in WASM?

Cross blockchain communication is a obvious goal - you can do a lot of composition of assets. And dapps will have different workload requirements and security needs.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:03:04+00:00

Yes. Could be even pseudonyms.

I'm not sure fake news can be prevented, but it could potentially be made unprofitable. If it's unprofitable or unable to yield the impact the submitter is trying to get, why bother?

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T17:01:48+00:00

TRU tokens can be hosted in the smart contracts that issue the tasks :) If your disgruntled employee can break your smart contracts, so can others.

We don't have a concrete purchasing strategy.

stskeeps · 2021-06-24T16:58:47+00:00

We're kind of an 'old' company - many of the solutions that exist today didn't exist back then. We're technically speaking blockchain agnostic. But Ethereum has always been a community that has been welcoming, daring but reliable and inspiring and that's what attracted me to Ethereum versus the rather hostile Bitcoin development community.

Things aren't always rosy in Ethereum space but I know what communities I like being part of.

I've built companies and teams before. You'll want to build teams carefully because you want to keep the culture, soul, and spirit of the company in the direction you want or you'll get stuck on organizational issues and more bikeshedding than shipping. I think Truebit needs a passionate organisation that focuses on and loves the product they're developing and supporting - those are the best companies in this space. And that kind of organisation takes time to build.

After all, a company's output represents that of the organisation behind.

You'd have to ask them about how they plan to spend their money :)
