We turned our tokens into skills to pay for essential pizza courses 🍕 👩‍🎓. Next, we used a paper wallet and ledger to prove we had the skills to pay the bills in the pizza biz. Finally, we used paper smart contracts to add and validate our work experience. Phew 😅

Holy Cow. @AndreCronjeTech reviewed the code for @Chainspace_io, then took off his pants and ran down the road screaming "Eureka!" Has this team really solved the ultimate #blockchain problem, and built #security, #speed, and #security into their platform? crypp.to/ChainspaceCR

NEW RESEARCH: @chainspace_io cofounders @gdanezis + @futurechimp publish #blockmania, a fast leaderless consensus protocol. Chainspace alpha code does ~500K TPS with 4 secs finality on 16 nodes distributed across 5 continents. arxiv.org/abs/1809.01620
Blockmania: from Block DAGs to Consensus

Blockmania: from Block DAGs to Consensus

NEW RESEARCH: @chainspace_io researchers @alberto_sonnino + @musalbas have a new paper on Fraud Proofs in collaboration with Eth Research. How do you verify shards operate correctly? If there's a problem, how do you tell A,B,C that X is bad? arxiv.org/abs/1809.09044
