Siacoin Rejects Bitmain and Innosilicon ASICs Through Future Hard Fork

Siacoin has been a rather interesting cryptocurrency to keep an eye on throughout 2018. Not because of its price movement, as that has been in line with all other bearish markets. Instead, there has been an ongoing debate as to whether or not the project needs to fork its code to prevent Bitmain ASICs from […] The post Siacoin Rejects Bitmain and Innosilicon ASICs Through Future Hard Fork appeared first on NullTX. дальше »

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way. дальше »

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place. дальше »

Electroneum’s founder and CEO, Richard Ells, said in the company’s Telegram group they decided to take ‘urgent action’ and re-introduce ASIC miners, reversing a fork that had integrated ASIC-resistant code at the end of […] The post U-Turn: Electroneum Fork Welcomes ASICs Back To ETN Network appeared first on Crypto Briefing. дальше »
