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 »

Japan Is Proving to be a Surprising Haven for Crypto Miners

A scaling, proposal Bitcoin now thinking of Heterogeneous Block sizes.

When extending the chain, big-block miners must verify that the claims and the transactions match. That is, if regular transactions are invalid the full sub-block is invalid. Transactions at some height can be accepted, even if claims at the same height are Miners must verify that transactions trees and claim trees are in agreement, . дальше »
