I recently realized I didn’t know much about the cypherpunks, just that they pushed for privacy. Then I learned about their fearless fight for freedom and was inspired Wrote a blog on their history, innovations, and how their ethos lives on in Ethereum https://paragraph.xyz/@chaskin/who-even-were-the-cypherpunks

Solana v Ethereum v BeamChain How do you process votes for consensus? Solana sends all votes directly to the leader. This is the worst use of bandwidth because user transactions are forced to compete directly with votes. Ethereum aggregates votes in randomly chosen committees, and posts the aggregated votes to the chain. This already saves a lot of bandwidth. BeamChain, the new proposal for Ethereum's consensus layer, uses ZK proofs for aggregation. This saves the most bandwidth, and at the same time allows for the most votes. Here's a comparison in one picture 👇

It's good to understand, but there's no point in getting caught up on it. We're here to solve things 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone looked into David Chaum's xx network? I never hear others talk about it but Chaum was one of the main participants on the cypherpunk mailing list

I've been studying Grobner Bases :) Very cool applications to attacking hash functions. What makes you want to learn Abstract Algebra?
