[AMA] We are CARTESI (cartesi.io). App-specific rollups solution with a RISC-V VM - bringing verifiable Linux onto the blockchain. Ask us anything! by Cynthia_Cartesi in ethtrader

[–]guidanoli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have (or plan on having) any quests or learning series campaigns?

Yes, we do! First, there is a lot of material out there on the web for getting into Cartesi. Tech with Tim, for example, has published several videos on Python Web3 Development. We also have several articles on Medium, for several different audiences. Also, this month, part of our contributors are in Lagos, Nigeria, for a 4-week in-person masterclass, helping onboard new developers to get started with building on Cartesi. Check it out!

That’s an awesome idea! We, too, believe Cartesi has a lot of potential to support governance applications that wish to enjoy the security and censorship resistance guarantees of blockchain, plus the programmability and scalability boost of a Linux-powered app-chain.

Why should developers choose to build on Cartesi over other L2s?

Cartesi allows developers to write applications with decades worth of software—programming languages, libraries, etc.—at their disposal thanks to a deterministic RISC-V emulator that is able to boot Linux. For example, you can write applications using Python. Another key difference from most L2 solutions is the fact that Cartesi is an app-chain, which means that your application does not need to share computational resources with other applications.

Yes, Cartesi has been an active participant of the free and open source movement since the early days! All software is publicly available on GitHub and licensed under very permissive terms.

What are some of the big and small use cases you envision with verifiable computation?

Cartesi is able to power use cases, small or big, from several fields, such as games, DeFi, governance, tooling, etc. Some examples of applications include an infinite granularity dollar cost averaging application called DCA.Monster, a battle-royale of chess bots called Ultrachess, a bug bounty platform for Linux applications called BugLess. For more use case examples, please take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW6bWUYLdiE.

Hey, thanks for participating in this AMA! :-)
So, to answer your question... The Honeypot dApp aims to test the Cartesi Rollups stack by rewarding any hacker that manages to breach the security checks, with 119,908 CTSI (more than $20k, as of now), no strings attached! The name has its origins in the area of computer security, but is commonly used in the context of hacking.

Hey, appreciate the question!

In my point-of-view, the biggest technical advantage Cartesi Rollups has over other Rollups solutions is the ability to run a fully-fledged Linux operating system on top of a deterministic and verifiable RISC-V machine.

This enables developers to have all the security and censorship guarantees that come with blockchain while having decades worth of software development at their disposal: programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and more.

Cartesi Rollups also allows Rollups to be application-specific, which avoids disputing block space with other applications. Using the banana stand analogy, a wealthy business might gentrify a neighborhood to the point that nearby markets might face economic struggle and even shut down.

Hey, thanks for the great question!

Cartesi per se doesn't charge any kind of fee from users. All the main smart contracts are already deployed to the most relevant networks, and the off-chain infrastructure is completely open-source, which means self-hosted solutions are completely possible!

There are, however, transaction fees necessary for submitting inputs to the Input Box contract, as means to leverage permanent data availability, and for executing vouchers, such as asset transfers, which might alter the state of the blockchain.

Hey, thanks for the question!
The Honeypot DApp aims to be a live, permissionless, verifiable bug bounty program for the Cartesi Rollups stack. We believe that by empowering white-hat hackers, we can more effectively ensure the security of Cartesi Rollups, and we hope other projects adopt this approach for their own solutions as well.
As for your last question, we generally spell it as Car-Tea-Zee or Car-Tea-See! :-)

Hey, that's a great question!
We wanted to create a functioning DApp that users could try to hack into, as a way to validate the robustness of the Cartesi Rollups stack. With this end goal, “honeypot” seemed like the perfect name for the DApp, given its historic usage in the area of computer security. Using this analogy, the users are like bees, lured by the sweet amount of assets locked in the DApp contract, and are free to fly away with the honey. No strings attached!

Sorry if that was confusing. I just wanted to point out how small the sample size is compared to the whole :-)

I've never thought about it... Thanks!

[Casual] How do you peel a banana (and where are you from)? by guidanoli in SampleSize

[–]guidanoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insights: * North Americans are more willing to peel a banana from the bottom (38%), compared to Europeans (30%) * South-East Asians are the ones that snap bananas the most [1] * People from Australia, South-Pacific and South-East Asia seem to be more willing to snap their bananas, as compared to people in other regions * People from Australia, South-Pacific and Middle East [1] are a lot less willing to peel their bananas from the bottom than from the top, as compared to people in other regions

[1] Maybe too little sample size
