Plasma is a new type of scaling solution that Karl is helping to develop, and Phil tries to tear it apart. Phil also introduces the topic of storage rent, which is an uncomfortable truth we’ll have to face sooner rather than later.
This week we sit down with JP Smith from the software security firm Trail of Bits to talk about process of doing security audits in the blockchain space.
Fredrik has a chat about consensus algorithms with Parity Technologies in-house consensus expert Robert Habermeier. We cover what a consensus algorithm is and how they work. We try to explain some common terms like safety and liveness, what a fork choice rule is and how real-world constraints like networking play a role in your algorithm design.
In this episode, we do a deep dive into the DFINITY protocol project and their recently released whitepaper. We speak with Robert Lauko, Research Associate working on the project, about their ongoing development and we explore some of the innovations DFINITY aims to incorporate into this new blockchain.
The gang catches up on what’s been going on in the blockchain world for the past month, sharing some nuggets of learning around bloom filters, Proof of Authority, upcoming events, the Dfinity paper and some comments on what all the fuzz around this ERP is.
In this episode, we talk about what it takes to be a blockchain developer. Fredrik shares some of his insights and we interview Gavin Wood, co-founder of Parity and Ethereum, about his history and evolution as a blockchain developer.
In the episode, we sit down with John Palmer and Marcus Molchany to discuss their new project Pragma, a tool designed to make deploying smart contracts easier.
In this episode, we will be talking with Liz Steininger, the CEO and MD of Least Authority, about decentralised communities, the challenges of blockchain open source technology and how we will likely see this community developing over the next few years.
In this episode, we invite André, a Parity dev, to join us in a review of the latest activity in Parity and the general blockchain space.
Part 2 in our series on decentralized storage: Solutions. In this episode, we look at the problems decentralised storage are trying to solve, interesting projects trying to tackle these problems and some of the implications.
Part 1 in our series on decentralized storage: Looking back. Fredrik and Anna talk about some history and memories of peer-to-peer technology, file sharing and decentralized storage.
In this episode, Anna and Fredrik have a look back at the changing world of blockchain in 2017 with ex-Ethereum Foundation and current-Parity core dev, Marek Kotewicz. We also share our predictions about what we can expect to see next year in crypto land. FYI: opinions are our own, and we definitely won’t be giving financial advice 😛
