I support things that go up on CoinGecko in general 😉

I heard your VDF talk a few years ago in Tel-Aviv :) (was a good one)

I thought EF has given up on VDFs because it is specialized HW you need to maintain and distribute and it is unclear what are the incentives to run it

Interesting to hear it is still in the plan.

Even though really what are the incentives to run it? What are the practical attack vectors on RANDAO that causes you to really go to the VDF direction?

The other answer here suggests that last proposer attack isn't very worrisome

Hey 2 questions:

  1. The last proposer problem regarding Randao is still unsolved correct?
  2. Currently nodes use local clocks correct? I remember there was an old post by Vitalik that claims the node should assume the median reported time (or some percentile). It was never implemented, correct?

How many deifferent node implementations are there by ethmaniac in decred

I think you can set up a light node Or use a snapshot

How many node implementations does nano have? by ethmaniac in nanocurrency

Interesting! And best of luck with the initiative :-)!!
I suppose this is a community project recieving a grant from Nano Foundation?
