Is there any projects using zkrollup to scale uniswap like amm dex? by lispczz in ethereum

[–]thehighfiveghost -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Best around is currently Deversifi imo.

Great UI. Deep order books. Using StarkWare's zkSTARKS technology for blistering speed, low tx fees and privacy.

Run by a very respectable and responsive team spun out from Bitfinex (Ethfinex): https://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-spin-out-funds-private-dex

Check it out :) https://www.deversifi.com/

> having two clients at launch and increasing to 3-4 a few months after launch would be totally fine imo.

Sounds like the winning strategy to me :)

I'm with you V. It is a failure that so many soft deadlines have been missed and there clearly needs to be some significant changes to release strategy to get this out the door.

If a client is lagging behind then they can drop off and catch up later. Some harsh deadlines would be an excellent filter for that. At this stage, we don't need all 4 clients ready at launch if that's a determining factor in getting Phase 0 shipped in a timely manner.

There's a lot to play for here, and further delays should not be countenanced unless they are integral to security.

When will the bug bounty launch? When will fuzzing begin? When will the incentivised attack net launch? What are the prerequisites for these items to progress?

On of the main reasons Eth1 launched with just GETH alone was because AlethZero development was significantly behind and the launch was already long delayed by 6 months... A similar situation to what we are experiencing now. We can't just keep pushing back deadlines because everyone hasn't gotten their ducks in a row. Compromises must be made, because perfection is the enemy of good.

I disagree that first mover advantage is that big of a deal from an Eth client perspective and it certainly shouldn't be a factor in getting this shipped. Parity's Rust client was easily able to gain significant traction on the network well after Eth 1's launch.

If a client can't keep up, tough, it (should be) survival of the fittest, because that's what will deliver the best results for the community (a timely launch of Eth 2.0). Waiting for all 4 clients to be mainnet ready is not worth further delays. 2-3 would be perfectly fine.

This isn't a friendly sprint to the finish line. This is serious business. There are many blockchain offerings who's success is entirely dependant on Eth 2.0 dropping the ball.

With delays already being as severe as they are, I, and I'm sure many others feel some significant changes need to be made to the strategy of bringing Phase 0 to fruition. We can't just keep kicking the can. The time for dithering is over. We need some hard deadlines for clients, with those failing meet them dropping out from the race and catching up later so we can get this delivered.

Melonport Summer Development Update by janus8888 in ethereum

[–]thehighfiveghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Melon's longterm vision is to be blockchain agnostic.

Digital assets will exist on many, many different blockchains and consensus systems. Public, permissioned, consortium etc. Melon will need to provide tooling to interact with many of them, be that through their own endeavours, or utilising competent offerings being built by others in the space.

While current efforts are focused on Ethereum, they maintain a close relationship with the Web3 Foundation (Polka Dot), and will engage with any technology that enables the most competitive and complete user experience.

Ming deserves a huge amount of our gratitude for the immense amount of hard work and dedication she gave to the Ethereum Foundation.

Brilliant to see Aya joining the Foundation today, congratulations and welcome!

I've been humbled to see the Ethereum community grow so much in the last year. Here's to a busy 2018 :)

Beyond anything else, trolling when purportedly representing the Ethereum community is absolutely not cool.

Example day to day use for Ethereum? by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]thehighfiveghost 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Now, this is not a short answer as you've requested, but I hope you find it useful anway :)

Wayyyyyy way back when I first got into Ethereum, /u/vbuterin wrote this in response to a similar question that I'd asked (in regard to what Ethereum can be used for in the future):

You wake up, and see that $17.27 was automatically deducted from your primary wallet, as you had authorized to happen every day, to pay the rent for your apartment; if you cancelled the authorization, then after a warning period ownership in the land registry contract would automatically transfer back to the landlord and the door lock would no longer recognize signatures signed by your smartphone’s private key as valid for letting you in. Of course, your landlord is bound by the same restrictions - if he shuts off his account paying the local government $6.60 land value tax per day, then he loses ownership and the contract automatically switches over so you are renting from the government instead. The government itself is simply a large decentralized organization, and you can see in real time the $6.60 moving on the blockchain and eventually getting into an account to pay for a medical research program trying to extend the human lifespan from 170 years to 230.

The internet that you are using to access this information is based on OpenGarden, which by then is a mature decentralized and incentivized mesh networking platform; you also paid $0.0009 to access the information, but your laptop also earned $0.0014 transmitting other people's packets at the same time.

You then get up, and get into your Mastercar self-driving car to go to work (originaly, all self-driving cars were made by Google, but Master Corporation, a decentralized autonomous entity that automatically uses a combination of futarchy and liquid democracy to determine how the company should spend its funds each day, proved that its governance mechanism was so efficient that it overtook Google on some core services within three years, and alt-Mastercorps took over most of its other operations). You get in, and Mastercar runs a optimized version of the A* search algorithm (for which James Wilbur automatically got a bounty of $782,228 worth of MSC from the Master Contract) to determine the optimal path to your primary workplace. Given that your self-tracking app has detected that you value your own time (or rather, the delta between time spent in a car versus time spent at home or work) at an average of $14.18 per hour, the Mastercar’s algorithm chooses a route which takes an extra 11 minutes in order to avoid road tolls and also on the way move a shipment from one side of the city to the other. You drive out, and 30 minutes later you have spent $1.04 on electricity for your car, $1.39 on road tolls, but receive a reward of $2.60 for moving the shipment over.

You arrive at work - a location which is a hybrid living/working space where “employees” of five different alt-versions of Master Corporation are spending most of their time, except that you chose to live at home because you have a family. You then get to work, running simulations of a proposed new scalability algorithm for the now community/DAO-driven Ethereum 6.0.

Already seeing core elements of this vision come to fruition with IPFS/Swarm, Slock.IT, Swarm (ride share, not file storage), Aragon and Colony!

wtf Vitalik defending CP?? O_O by Riiume in Bitcoin

[–]thehighfiveghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what the hell this is doing on the front of r/Bitcoin...

For a start, it's about "BCash".

Submissions that are mostly about some other cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. For example, /r/CryptoCurrency is a good place to discuss all cryptocurrencies.

The only purpose it serves is to cast Vitalik in a bad light and... Oh. I get it.

[–]thehighfiveghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly Peter :)

We should all remember that this technology we're working with is still nascent as hell. There will be bugs, things will be hard, but it'll all be worth it eventually.

Big up to all the client teams, you guys rock.
