Ethereum

I’d been feeling kinda down on crypto. Then I went out with some TradFi friends tonight and they spent a good deal of time making fun of me for ever having pivoted to crypto and for owning NFTs. 

Got me bullish again. The knowledge asymmetry between us and them is profound.

Another lecture by Boneh I would strongly recommend.

Dan is a great instructor. For anyone interested in learning more about cryptography, Dan Boneh and Victor Sboup's book is a great place to start:

Like any software blockchains won't scale by enhancing just one component, they will scale by combining vertical (execution) with horizontal scalability (DA, rollups, app chains, etc..). 

e.g. MegaETH achieving 10K+ true TPS w/ low latency, rebuilding the EVM from the ground up, settling to Ethereum via EigenDA

> Parallel and asynchronous transaction processing

This looks promising

Quilibrium

I'm trying to get up to speed on Quilibrium. I've read the website and white paper. Very impressive.

All available info is Big Brain. Grug need Grug Brain explanation.

Also, the coin model appears to be UTXO-based. Can an account-based model be built on Quilibrium? Are there any latency and throughput estimates?

In the near future, only cryptography will be able to answer this question.

Hey all! I’m Ashoat, the founder of Comm (@comm.eth).

We're building a sovereign Discord alternative by using personal servers to extend Signal's model of E2E encryption (https://comm.app).

We’re looking for feedback from privacy maxis — if you’re down for a demo, drop a 👋 or DM me!
