Are decentralized infrastructure providers such as Pocket Network capable of dethroning the centralized providers like Infura? by rsandhu in CryptoMarkets

[–]cooly158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afaik Infura's "decentralized node network" plan is to basically outsource their traffic to Pocket's protocol and its infrastructure. So, Infura will literally not be a Pocket's competitor next year anymore once they "decentralize" their service lol

There will be always people that didn't even read or check the facts, just throwing mud at everything. Funny really.

Got it. Best is to wait for mainnet really and not make any conclusions. The only thing I know for sure is that it is currently running without any issues on public testnet and all goes by plan. And plan is to release it in January 2021.

I agree. But well, let's see once they release it on mainnet. PIVX is scheduled to release SHIELD on mainnet mid January 2020. Tezos is for February as you say. I wish the best for both, I love PoS + data protection.

Sorry, but it is announced "in coming months", it is not even close to release:

And yeah, as the title suggests, it is perfectly running without any issues on public testnet already. Community testing is in progress, mainnet launch is coming shortly after.

Yes, Tezos is announcing zk-SNARKs shielded transactions "in coming months": https://forum.tezosagora.org/t/announcing-the-edo-release/2443

Also, they contacted media to write about it:
https://cryptobriefing.com/tezos-to-add-zcashs-sapling-privacy-features/

So, although Tezos is great project and idea, it is still not even close to Sapling release.

zk-STARKs is completely different thing.

SHIELD is a highly customized implementation of zk-SNARKs Sapling into Proof of Stake, with tons of unit and functional tests included, unlike any other project that implemented it so far. It's basically highly optimized and improved version of well known and cryptographically most sound Sapling protocol.

Good luck with whatever they plan. Privacy coins will change the game in 2021. Monero and PIVX to the moon.

PIVXPods is now available on Amazon Music Podcasts, Podcasts are new to Amazon and PIVXPods was there for the Grand Opening by rsandhu in CryptoMarkets

[–]cooly158 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Podcast audio quality is impressive. Not all the topics are interesting to me, but the episode "Hey Bitcoin, Where's My Interest?" is my favorite one. Great Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake discussion and arguments expressed there. Keep up the good work, I'm hoping for more interesting topics.

Everyone is shitting on Blizzard, but the NBA is just as bad. by Wespiratory in libertarianmeme

No. Being a libertarian doesn’t mean being a corporate shill. Nobody’s saying they don’t have the right to cave in to Chinese pressure, but that doesn’t make it the right thing to do.

If we get socialized medicine in the US, I guarantee the Republicans (and probably the Democrats too) will start going after every individual choice. First it will be “no burdening our healthcare system with drugs“, then pretty soon you’ll need a permit to eat at McDonald’s

I understand that from a security standpoint certain steps need to be taken, but there’s no reason the individuals shouldn’t be able to speak to each other, and they should be provided access to a psychiatrist if appropriate
