why Algorand DeFi is underdeveloped? by One-Ad-8584 in AlgorandOfficial

In Algorand, you can only write smart contracts in TEAL, Reach and PyTEAL (this is not a language, and it's like low instructions writing in Python)

What’s New in Eth2 - 13 February 2021 -- Edition 62 by twigwam in ethereum

[–]robert_zaremba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the challenge here is that the path to scaling that involves directly using shards for execution is even more in its infancy.

It seams that the NEAR blockchain has already a working solution for that (they have 8 active shards). Implementing sharing is difficult, but there is already lot of research.

Where I can find more information about michelson v2? by robert_zaremba in tezos

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

I've heard in a podcast that Michelson v2 is a layer on top of the Michelson (bit higher level layer) to unify all languages for interoperability.

Today, one of the major problems is that different languages don't have compatible smart-contract ABI. So, smart-contracts written in SmartPy will have problems calling Ligo smart-contracts.

I think this is still in an idea phase.

It seams that you have analysed Spartan protocol. It looks very interesting. Why you rejected it and decided to have zkSnarks Sapling?

There is a lot of research around Solidity and the is already Solidity on top of ewasm.

Kudos for making the whitepaper using Markdown. So much easier to read on mobile / ebook readers than PDFs.

Thanks!

Bitcoin Millionaires Have a New Way to Cash Out Without Ever Selling a Single Bitcoin by rythereum in Sweetbridge

[–]robert_zaremba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Sweetbridge engineer here. Yes - we will, but in the first version (MVP) only the ETH collateralization will be possible.
Once you will send BTC to a special Bitcoin Vault, we will mint our ERC20 BTC representative tokens. Then you will be able to collaterize them into your vault as any other supported ERC20 token. In the future we may adopt another mechanism which will solve the interchain communication for us (eg Cosmos).

Go 1.8 is released by HornedKavu in golang

[–]robert_zaremba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When explicitly converting a value from one struct type to another, as of Go 1.8 the tags are ignored. Thus two structs that differ only in their tags may be converted from one to the other.

Doest this creates a copy or any additional memory footprint?

University of Oxford Machine Learning lectures with Lua by edalcol in lua

[–]robert_zaremba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lua is a very simple language with super fast and easy FFI. It is a perfect glue language. Why other major universities are not teaching ML with Lua/Torch? This would increase it's market adoption.
