We are, arguably, still early in the crypto industry, but some people were really…really early. One of them is Lefteris Karapetsas, who joined EthDev in 2014 and contributed to building the Ethereum ecosystem, since before the genesis block. His crypto journey is one for the history books, as after EthDev he joined Slock.it, right around the time of The DAO raise…and hack. Lefteris remained a core supporter of decentralisation and an active member of the Ethereum community, being involved (and delegated) in multiple projects' governance. More recently, he founded Rotki, an open source portfolio management app that aims to preserve user privacy. We were joined by Lefteris Karapetsas, true Ethereum OG, to discuss his 10-year long journey through the Ethereum ecosystem, from joining EthDev (pre-Devcon 0) to founding Rotki.Topics covered in this episode:Lefteris' backgroundEthereum's beginningsJoining Slock.itThe DAO r(a)ise and hackEthereum classic hard forkBrainbot & Raiden Network eraFounding RotkiCrypto accounting privacyThe challenges of building a local appRotki membership tiersUpcoming portfolio management on RotkiFuture roadmap for RotkiHow Ethereum's culture evolved over timeEthereum public good funding.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are a hotbed for right-wing ideologues, but Joshua Davila argues this technology is not going away and ought to be used for left-wing activism. Bitcoin, for example, is not inherently capitalistic, while projects on Ethereum and other protocols have been more exploratory and experimental. In ArtiFact 56, Alex and Josh discuss the concept of blockchain, why it's valuable, on-chain models for political organization, NFTs as supportive of, and destructive to, genuine art, and expose crypto-idiots and other unsavory personalities.

Nuestro invitado: Diego Lopez Leon (Core Blockchain Developer at ETC Cooperative) nos invita a conocer un poco más sobre Etehereum Classic desde adentro!

So, here's my Top 100 snippets of knowledge for blockchain: Blockchains use public key methods to integrate digital trust. Bob signs for a transaction with his private key, and Alice proves this with Bob's public key. The first usable public key method was RSA — and created by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman. It was first published in 1979 and defined in the RSA patent entitled “Cryptographic Communications System and Method”. Blockchains can either be permissioned (requiring rights to access the blockchain) or permissionless (open to anyone to use). Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two most popular permissionless blockchains, and Hyperledger is the most popular permissioned ledger. Ralph Merkle — the boy genius — submitted a patent on 5 Sept 1979 and which outlined the Merkle hash. This is used to create a block hash. Ralph Merkle's PhD supervisor was Martin Hellman (famous as the co-creator of the Diffie-Hellman method). David Chaum is considered as founders of electronic payments, and, in 1983, created ECASH, along with publishing a paper on “Blind signatures for untraceable payments”. Miners gather transactions on a regular basis, and these are added to a block and where each block has a Merkle hash. The first block on a blockchain does not have any previous blocks — and is named the genesis block. Blocks are bound in a chain, and where the previous, current and next block hashes are bound into the block. This makes the transactions in the block immutable. Satoshi Nakamoto worked with Hal Finney on the first versions of Bitcoin, and which were created for a Microsoft Windows environment. Craig Steven Wright has claimed that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, but this claim has never been verified. Most blockchains use elliptic curve cryptography — a method which was created independently by Neal Koblitz and Victor S. Miller in 1985. Elliptic curve cryptography algorithms did not take off until 2004. Satoshi selected the secp256k1 curve for Bitcoin, and which gives the equivalent of 128-bit security. The secp256k1 curve uses the mapping of y²=x³ + 7 (mod p), and is known as a Short Weierstrass (“Vier-strass”) curve. The prime number used with secp256k1 is ²²⁵⁶−²³²−²⁹−²⁸−²⁷−²⁶−²⁴−1. Satoshi published a 9-page paper entitled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” White Paper on 31 Oct 31, 2008. In 1997, Adam Black introduce the concept of Proof of Work of Hashcash in a paper entitled, “Hashcash — a denial of service countermeasure.” This work was used by Satoshi in his whitepaper. Satoshi focused on: a decentralized system, and a consensus model and addressed areas of double-spend, Sybil attacks and Eve-in-the-middle. The Sybil attack is where an adversary can take over the general consensus of a network — and leads to a 51% attack, and where the adversary manages to control 51% or more of the consensus infrastructure. Satoshi used UK spelling in his correspondence, such as using the spelling of “honour”. The first Bitcoin block was minted on 3 Jan 2009 and contained a message of “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” (the headline from The Times, as published in London on that day). On 12 Jan 2009, Satoshi sent the first Bitcoin transaction of 50 BTC to Hal Finney [here]. A new block is created every 7–10 minutes on Bitcoin. In Aug 2023, the total Bitcoin blockchain size is 502 GB. As of Aug 2023, the top three cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin, Ether, and Tether. Bitcoin has a capitalization of $512 billion, Ether with $222 billion, and Tether at $83 billion. The total cryptocurrency capitalisation is $1.17 trillion. The original block size was 1MB for Bitcoin, but recently upgraded to support a 1.5MB block — and has around 3,000 transactions. Currently the block sizes are more than 1.7MB. Bitcoin uses a gossip protocol — named the Lightning Protocol — to propagate transactions. A Bitcoin wallet is created from a random seed value. This seed value is then used to create the 256-bit secp256k1 private key. A wallet seed can be converted into a mnemonic format using BIP39, and which uses 12 common words. This is a deterministic key, and which allows the regeneration of the original key in the correct form. BIP39 allows for the conversion of the key to a number of languages, including English, French and Italian. A private key in a wallet is stored in a Wif format, and which is a Base58 version of the 256-bit private key. The main source code for the Bitcoin blockchain is held at https://github.com/bitcoin, and is known as Bitcoin core. This is used to create nodes, store coins, and transactions with other nodes on the Bitcoin network. A 256-bit private key has 115,792 billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion different keys. A public Bitcoin ID uses Base58 and has a limited character set of ‘123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMN PQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmno pqrstuvwxyz', where we delete ‘0' (zero), ‘l' (lowercase ‘l'), and ‘I' (capital I) — as this can be interpreted as another character. In Bitcoin and Ethereum, a private key (x) is converted to a public key with x.G, and where G is the base point on the secp256k1 curve. An uncompressed secp256k1 public key has 512 bits and is an (x,y) point on the curve. The point starts with a “04”. A compressed secp256k1 public key only stores the x-co-ordinate value and whether the y coordinate is odd or even. It starts with a “02” if the y-co-ordinate is even, otherwise it starts with a “03”. In 1992, Eric Hughes, Timothy May, and John Gilmore set up the cypherpunk movement and defined, “We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.” In Ethereum, the public key is used as the identity of a user (a.G), and is defined as a hexademical value. In Bitcoin, the public ID is created from a SHA256 hash of the public key, and then a RIPEMD160 of this, and then covered to Base58. In computing the public key in ECC of a.G, we use the Montgomery multiplication method and which was created by Peter Montgomery in 1985, in a paper entitled, “Modular Multiplication without Trial Division.” Elliptic Curve methods use two basic operations: point address (P+G) and point doubling (2.P). These can be combined to provide the scalar operation of a.G. In 1999, Don Johnson Alfred Menezes published a classic paper on “The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)”. It was based on the DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) — created by David W. Kravitz in a patent which was assigned to the US. The core signature used in Bitcoin and Ethereum is ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), and which uses a random nonce for each signature. The nonce value should never repeat or be revealed. Ethereum was first conceived in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Iorio and Joseph Lubin. It introduced smaller blocks, an improved proof of work, and smart contracts. Bitcoin is seen as a first-generation blockchain, and Ethereum as a second-generation. These have been followed by third-generation blockchains, such as IOTA, Cardano and Polkadot — and which have improved consensus mechanisms. Bitcoin uses a consensus mechanism which is based on Proof-of-Work, and where miners focus on finding a block hash that has a number of leading “0”s. The difficulty of the mining is defined by the hashing rate. At the current time, this is around 424 million TH/s. There are around 733,000 unique Bitcoin addresses being used. Satoshi defined a reward to miners for finding the required hash. This was initially set at 50 BTC, but was set to half at regular intervals. On 11 January 2021, it dropped from 12.5 BTC to 6.2 BTC. Bitcoin currently consumes around 16.27 GWatts of power each year to produce a consensus — equivalent to the power consumed by a small country. In creating bitcoins, Satoshi created a P2PKH (Pay to Public Key Hash) address. These addresses are used to identify the wallet to be paid and links to the public key of the owner. These addresses start with a ‘1'. In order to support the sending of bitcoins to and from multiple addresses, Bitcoin was upgraded with SegWit (defined in BIP141). The wallet address then integrates the pay-to-witness public key hash (Pay to script hash — P2SH). These addresses start with a ‘3'. Ethereum uses miners to undertake work for changing a state and running a smart contract. They are paid in “gas” or Ether and which relates to the amount of computation conducted. This limits denial of service attacks on the network and focuses developers on creating efficient code. Ethereum supports the creation of cryptocurrency assets with ERC20 tokens — and which are FT (Fungible Tokens). For normal crypto tokens (ERC-20) we use, there is a finite number of these, and each of these is the same. Ethereum creates NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) with ERC721 tokens. We mint these each time and each is unique. Solidity is the programming language used in Ethereum, while Hyperledger can use Golang, Node.js and Java. For Ethereum, we compile Solidity code into EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) code. This is executed on the blockchain. Blockchain uses the SHA-256 hash for transaction integrity. Ethereum uses the Keccak hash is used to define the integrity of a transaction. This is based on SHA-3, and differs slightly from Keccak. The Keccak hash family uses a sponge function and was created by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters, and Gilles Van Assche, and standardized by NIST in August 2015 as SHA-3. The DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for the Ethereum blockchain and was launched in 2016. In 2016, DAO raised $150 million through a token sale but was hacked and funds were stolen. This resulted in a forking of the blockchain: Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Non-interactive Zero Knowledge Proofs (NI-ZKP) allow an entity to prove that they have knowledge of something — without revealing it. A typical secret is the ownership of a private key. NI-ZKPs involve a prover (Peggy), a verifier (Victor) and a witness (Wendy) and were first defined by Manuel Blum, Paul Feldman, and Silvio Micali in their paper entitled, “Non-interactive zero-knowledge and its applications”. Popular ZKP methods include ZK-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) and ZK-STARKs (Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge). Bitcoin and Ethereum are pseudo-anonymised, and where the sender and recipient of a transaction, and its value, can be traced. Privacy coins enable anonymous transactions. These include Zcash and Monero. In 1992, David Chaum and Torben Pryds Pedersen published “Wallet databases with observers,” and outlined a method of shielding the details of a monetary transaction. In 1992, Adi Shamir (the “S” in RSA) published a paper on “How to share a secret” in the Communications of the ACM. This supported the splitting of a secret into a number of shares (n) and where a threshold value (t) could be defined for the minimum number of shares that need to be brought back together to reveal the secret. These are known as Shamir Secret Shares (SSS). In 1991, Torbin P Pedersen published a paper entitled “Non-interactive and information-theoretic secure verifiable secret sharing” — and which is now known as Pedersen Commitment. This is where we produce our commitment and then show the message that matches the commitment. Distributed Key Generation (DKG) methods allow a private key to be shared by a number of trusted nodes. These nodes can then sign for a part of the ECDSA signature by producing a partial signature with these shares of the key. Not all blockchains use ECDSA. The IOTA blockchain uses the EdDSA signature, and which uses Curve 25519. This is a more lightweight signature version, and has better support for signature aggregation. It uses Twisted Edwards Curves. The core signing method used in EdDSA is based on the Schnorr signature scheme and which was created by Claus Schnorr in 1989. This was patented as, a “Method for identifying subscribers and for generating and verifying electronic signatures in a data exchange system”. The patent ran out in 2008. Curve 25519 uses the prime number of ²²⁵⁵-19 and was created by Daniel J. Bernstein. Peter Shor defined that elliptic curve methods can be broken with quantum computers. To overcome the cracking of the ECDSA signature from quantum computers, NIST are standardising a number of methods. At present, this focuses on CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and which is a lattice cryptography method. Bulletproofs were created in 2017 by Stanford's Applied Cryptography Group (ACG). They define a zero-knowledge proof as where a value can be checked to see it lies within a given range. The name of “bulletproofs” is defined as they are short, like a bullet, and with bulletproof security assumptions. While Bitcoin can take up to 7–10 minutes to mine a new block and create a consensus, newer blockchains, such as IOTA, can give an almost instantaneous consensus. Banks around the world are investigating CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) and which is not a cryptocurrency but a way to quickly define a consensus on a transaction. Homomorphic encryption methods allow for the processing of encrypted values using arithmetic operations. A public key is used to encrypt the data, and which can then be processed using an arithmetic circuit on the encrypted data. The owner of the associated private key can then decrypt the result. Some traditional public key methods enable partial homomorphic encryption. RSA and ElGamal allow for multiplication and division, whilst Pailier allows for homomorphic addition and subtraction. Full homomorphic encryption (FHE) supports all of the arithmetic operations and includes Fan-Vercauteren (FV) and BFV (Brakerski/Fan-Vercauteren) for integer operations and HEAAN (Homomorphic Encryption for Arithmetic of Approximate Numbers) for floating point operations. Most of the Full Homomorphic encryption methods use lattice cryptography. Some blockchain applications use Barreto-Lynn-Scott (BLS) curves which are pairing friendly. They can be used to implement Bilinear groups and which are a triplet of groups (G1, G2 and GT), so that we can implement a function e() such that e(g1^x,g2^y)=gT^{xy}. Pairing-based cryptography is used in ZKPs. The main BLS curves used are BLS12–381, BLS12–446, BLS12–455, BLS12–638 and BLS24–477. An accumulator can be used for zero-knowledge proof of knowledge, such as using a BLS curve to create to add and remove proof of knowledge. Open Zeppelin is an open-source Solidity library that supports a wide range of functions that integrate into smart contracts in Ethereum. This includes AES encryption, Base64 integration and Elliptic Curve operations. Metamask is one of the most widely used blockchain wallets and can integrate into many blockchains. Most wallets generate the seed from the operating system and where the browser can use the Crypto.getRandomValues function, and compatible with most browsers. Solidity programs can be compiled with Remix at remix.ethereum.org. The main Ethereum network is Ethereum Mainnet. We can test smart contracts on Ethereum test networks. Current networks include sepolia.etherscan.io and goerli.net. Ether can be mined for test applications from a faucet, such as faucet.metamask.io. This normally requires some proof of work to gain the Ether — in order to protect against a Denial of Service against the Faucet. The private key can be revealed from two ECDSA signatures which use the same random nonce value. Polkadot is a blockchain which allows blockchains to exchange messages and perform transactions. The proof of work method of creating is now not preference because of the energy that it typically uses. Many systems now focus on proof of stack (PoS). A time-lock puzzle/Proof of Work involves performing a computing task which has a given cost and which cannot be cheated again. This typically involves continual hashing or continual squaring. The Chia blockchain network uses both Proof of Space (PoS) and Proof of Time (PoT). The PoS method makes use of the under-allocation of hard-disk space. With a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF), we can prove that a given amount of work has been done by a prover (Peggy). A verifier (Victor) can then send the prover a proof value and compute a result which verifies the work has been done, with the verifier not needing to do the work but can still prove the work has been done. A Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) is a one-way function which creates a unique signature pattern based on the inherent delays within the wireless and transistors. This can be used to link a device to an NFT. In Blockchain applications, we can use Non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs for the equality (EQ) of discrete logarithms (DL) — DLEQ. With this — in discrete logarithms — we have

In this Crypto Q&A show, Hashoshi answers YOUR questions about the latest crypto news, the battle between Bitcoin vs. Ethereum communities, DeFi on Bitcoin and the rise and survival of "zombie chains" like EOS and Ethereum Classic.

Ethereum Classic and Ravencoin's Hashrate Nearly Doubles After MergeEthereum Price Crashes Under $1,500 After Successful MergeSECs Gensler Signals Extra Scrutiny for Proof-of-Stake Cryptocurrencies

The Ethereum Merge may constitute a taxable event if it results in a chain-splitting hard fork, tax experts warn. There is a chance that The Merge will result in a contentious hard fork, which will cause ETH holders to receive duplicate units of hard-forked Ethereum tokens, similar to what happened when the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic hard fork occurred in 2016. Meanwhile, is there a chance the IRS might give crypto traders some sort of tax break?~This episode is sponsored by Bybit~Receive up to a $500 Bonus upon depositing & signing up to Bybit.Join Now! - https://bit.ly/ByBitPBN2

Ethereum is the second biggest thing in crypto, and it may one day flip Bitcoin in market cap. But the big news around Vitalik's creation is the upcoming switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. We have questions and concerns about this major change in how the Ethereum chain will operate.  So today we welcome Matt Cutler of Blocknative to the show to answer all our questions about the Ethereum merge. Someone call 911 because it's an Ethmergency on episode #630 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Full Show Notes at:  00:00 - Intro - Twitter and jokes; don't miss 08:02 - Matt Cutler, CEO of Blocknative 08:43 - A pre-chan internet? Is that possible? Matt gives his history in the technology space 09:40 - What is Blocknative?  11:03 - When did you get on board with blockchain and crypto?  12:25 - Early introduction to the Internet, and a comparison to the current early cryptocurrency market and adoption.  14:18 - What's broken with Ethereum that we even need to move from POW to POS?  15:12 - We need more scalability for transactions beyond the current 13-14 transactions per second. Matt explains.  16:50 - In order to get to a future state without sacrificing decentralization, Ethereum determined it would be best to move from POW to POS.  17:25 - In a POW system, you need to operate computers to solve problems on the network, which also require large amounts of energy to operate. Externalities include the conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat to afford operating the system. These are problems proof-of-stake can solve. 18:45 - Reduced energy impact of operating the network is a benefit. 19:45 - What is the easiest, dumbed down way to explain the Ethereum Merge?  22:28 - What are we going to see? Are we going to see lower gas fees?  24:48 - Is there going to be a time where the Ethereum miners are going to be upset and earning less money? Will that cause people to flock to Ethereum Classic? 28:51 - Miles Sudor makes the case this merge is extremely dangerous for some of the reasons you mentioned, including UDC basically decides which chain wins and which chain loses. All of this introduces due to the OFAC regulation that base layer protocol censorship would be introduced on Ethereum, meaning very centralized crypto, which is not what Ethereum was intended to be. What are your thoughts on that?  36:41 - According to my research, there are over 4,000 ERC-20 tokens. What about those tokens? Will the Merge be noticeable to them? Will they have to upgrade their tokens?  42:32 - Let's play a game here, and I want you to think about a nightmare scenario. What is the worst thing that could happen if everything goes belly-up here?  43:30 - The nightmare scenario for any chain - Bitcoin, Ethereum - is that the network stops producing blocks. 45:18 - This is a big event in technology.  45:55 - What's the best case scenario? People are saying this is like a triple-halvening.  49:25 - What is Vitalik saying about the Merge?  49:50 - What should people be thinking about doing now, because if it is proof of stake, where and how should we be staking our Ethereum to earn other Ethereum? What are the parameters around that and how does that work?  51:00 - How do people stake?  01:00:00 - Outro with Joel's golf story  SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY   DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

Vamos buscar alguma bobagem que esteja sendo falada para poder voltar a falar de princípios básicos do bitcoin. Esta semana: Ethereum!

Understanding Crypto is now an international iTunes top-rated Investing podcast!  James Burtt and Paul Abercrombie explore and define mining in this week's show. They break down the process, the challenges, and the new trends. You will understand why mining Bitcoin is so difficult as well as the pros and cons of proof of stake. Defining Mining Mining is the process used by Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies to generate new coins and to verify new transactions, James explains. “It involves vast, decentralized networks of computers around the world that verify and secure blockchains – the virtual ledgers that document cryptocurrency transactions. In return for contributing their processing power, computers on the network are rewarded with new coins,” he cites. “It's a virtuous circle: the miners maintain and secure the blockchain, the blockchain awards the coins, the coins provide an incentive for the miners to maintain the blockchain.” He briefly lists the three main ways of obtaining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and describes how to virtually mine Bitcoin. [Listen from 1:50] How Do You Mine? Previously, the necessities for mining were basic; practically anyone with a decent home computer could participate. However, you now need specialized computers to successfully mine Bitcoin, as the blockchain has grown to the point where the computational power required to maintain it has drastically increased. “Bitcoin was designed to work as a decentralized currency… that was not connected to a major financial institution, Federal reserve, or bank in any way,” Paul shares. In order for it to work, computer power was necessary; if a sole server was set up to operate Bitcoin, it would betray the ethos of its design. Bitcoin's code was written and downloaded on computers, which worked in the background to form the networks that verified the transactions. People would volunteer their computer power onto the Bitcoin network, and their computers would race to solve the complex calculation which made up the block; the winner would be rewarded with Bitcoin in return. [Listen from 2:31] The Downsides The cost to compete with specialized companies to mine Bitcoin is almost impossible to match, Paul claims. Most miners are now using GPU machines, which are plugged into the internet connection and operate on other cryptocurrency networks or blockchains. These machines receive the rewards in the native currency of that blockchain. The smart thing to do would be to swap that currency out for alternative crypto assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum, he adds. Mining Bitcoin also uses huge amounts of electricity, which is something to be considered. Large data centers used as mining centers are popping up, consuming huge volumes of electricity and other resources. Due to this concern, there has been a new trend called proof of stake, where you effectively lock your crypto assets into the network and then that provides the consensus mechanism. This new method is not without its pros and cons, which Paul describes. [Listen from 7:00] Proof of Stake Ethereum has launched a completely new blockchain, according to Paul. The original Ethereum is Ethereum Classic, and Ethereum 2 works on proof of stake. This has been talked about since 2016, which goes to show how long this shift to proof of stake will take, if it's taken roughly 6 years for a currency as large as Etheruem to switch. Paul assures miners that while there is a concern that proof of stake will kill mining Ethereum, other currencies still exist. Additionally, the development of decentralized file storage allows your files to live on the blockchain. This frees you from being beholden to Big Tech, he affirms, and reduces costs.  [Listen from 12:30] Key Takeaways Mining is a virtuous cycle of being rewarded for the security and maintenance of a blockchain, which acts as an incentive to secure and maintain. The development of decentralized file storage reduces costs and allows your files to live on the blockchain.

The craziest crypto scams and hacks: Part 5: How Ethereum almost died because of a hack Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day on crypto and its history. In plain english. Today's episode is about another kind of hack, one that targeted weaknesses in blockchain technology to steal a lot of Ethereum. It started with an ambitious idea in 2016. A group of coders from Germany came up with the idea of the DAO, a decentralized organization that would act like a venture capital firm, but without employees. Instead, anyone who sent Ethereum to the DAO would in turn get partial ownership of it, and voting rights to determine which investments were to be made. And it exploded. Over just a month, the DAO raised $150 million dollars from over 11,000 investors. The creators were proud, especially because most money came from a bunch of smaller investors, truly democratizing venture capital. The DAO's operation was controlled by computer code, meaning the rules are set in stone and in theory nobody could mess with that. Unfortunately, the code had bugs though, and hackers were able to siphon off $40m of the funds. The entire young Ethereum community was fighting over what to do. In the end, two sides existed: One which wanted to just move on, and the other, which wanted to roll back the history of the blockchain, restart from before the incident, and operate in that alternative reality. The fight was so strong that Ethereum almost fell apart. In the end, two Ethereums came out of it: The one we know today altered the blockchain's history. The other, called Ethereum Classic, kept history as it was and moved on. And there you have it – many hacks can come from within. Blockchains are just computer programs, and they can have problems too. Disclaimer: This podcast references our opinion and is for information purposes only.

Ethereum classic casi duplica su valor en 1 semana, se rumora una migración de mineros Servicios disponibles: Cursos:

Dans le domaine des cryptomonnaies, il est un phénomène pour le moins très inquiétant nommé l'attaque des 51%. Quand les conditions sont réunies pour qu'une telle attaque ait lieu, c'est l'intégralité de la blockchain d'une crypto qui peut tout simplement s'effondrer. De quoi s'agit-il et quelle sont les chances pour qu'elle se réalise ? C'est ce que je vous propose de voir dans cet épisode. Vous commencez à le savoir tant on en parle régulièrement dans ce podcast, chaque cryptomonnaie comme le Bitcoin, l'Ethereum, le Dogecoin ou autre repose sur un principe de blockchain, permettant d'authentifier chaque transaction et de les inscrire dans un registre en libre accès. Pour obtenir des cryptomonnaies sans en acheter, il faut généralement en miner, c'est à dire faire travailler son ordinateur pour obtenir un montent de la crypto souhaitée. Sauf qu'en réalité, chaque blockchain est vulnérable. Dans le cas de l'attaque des 51%, pour que celle-ci ait de vraies conséquences, il faut que ses initiateurs aient une puissance de mining supérieure à 50 %, donc au moins 51 %. En clair, lorsqu'ils disposent d'une majorité de la puissance de calcul du réseau, les hackers peuvent annuler les transactions effectuées par les autres utilisateurs, ou bien décider des transactions qui seront validées et de celles qui ne le seront pas. Généralement, l'attaque des 51 % est dirigée contre les blockchains de type Proof of Work étant donnée que dans ces systèmes décentralisés, ce sont les transactions approuvées par la majorité des mineurs qui sont enregistrées dans le registre de transactions. Concrètement, quelles sont les conséquences d'une telle attaque ? Déjà, pour que l'attaque ait une chance de réussir, il faut que les hackeurs s'en prennent à une petite blockchain comme LeaCoin par exemple. Dans la logique, plus la blockchain est grosse, moins elle sera vulnérable. Autant dire que tenter l'attaque des 51% sur le bitcoin ou l'etherum est quasiment impossible. Si les hackeurs gagnent de l'argent rapidement et facilement grâce à cette technique, la cryptomonnaie visée perd quant à elle une grande part de sa valeur. Sa réputation est compromise et les investisseurs perdent confiance... Ils ne s'en serviront plus pour réaliser leurs transactions, ce qui entraîne indirectement sa mort. D'ailleurs, une attaque 51 % donne justement la possibilité à son auteur de réaliser une attaque DoS, qui lui permettra ensuite de rendre hors service tout le réseau et donc de véritablement tuer la cryptomonnaie visée, provoquant des pertes considérables pour les autres mineurs. Si certaines attaques de ce type ont déjà eu lieu comme pour le bitcoin gold, un dérivé du bitcoin classique en 2018 ou encore les projets, Verge, Vertcoin et Ethereum Classic, il semble peu probable que cela se répète à l'avenir d'après les analystes. D'après eux, un mineur malveillant aurait aujourd'hui besoin d'une puissance de hachage équivalente à celle de plusieurs millions de mineurs cumulés pour arriver à ses fins, soit un investissement colossal en équipement informatique, digne d'une véritable entreprise hightech. À ce jour, la blockchain Bitcoin est celle la seule dont la probabilité de subir une attaque des 51% est quasi inexistante.

What are the differences between Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and Ethereum 2.0? Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english. Today, let's dig into the history of Ethereum and understand why there are several different versions of it. At first, there was only one Ethereum - the original blockchain that is able to execute smart contracts. But it suffered a very costly hack in 2016: About $50m dollars worth of Ethereum were stolen by a single hacker. The Ethereum community was looking at two paths forward at the time: Just move on and accept the hack, or roll back the blockchain to revert it. Think of it as going back in time in your bank account history, as if nothing new happened. Ultimately, both options happened simultaneously in a so-called “fork”. The original Ethereum lived on after rolling back and restoring the balances to before the hack, and a copy was split off that did not roll back. That copy is known as Ethereum Classic, and the modified original is today's well-known Ethereum. They have operated completely separately since the split despite their shared origin. That brings us to Ethereum 2. It is an upcoming, major update to Ethereum, which will bring much faster and more affordable transactions to the blockchain. And again, the blockchain will split in two - Ethereum and Ethereum 2. The creators assume though that most, if not all, participants will simply transition over to Ethereum 2, this time without fighting over the future. And next time we take a brief look at the entire history of crypto. Disclaimer: This podcast references our opinion and is for information purposes only. It is not intended to be investment advice.

Show Notes 0:41 Muneeb: "How we met through Naval..." 2:33 There aren't many industries or asset classes where you can show up and be talking with the leaders almost immediately. 4:13 Muneeb: "What are you up to these days?" 7:10 Muneeb: "I'd love to get your Poli Sci perspective on a complex system being directly interacted with by users versus a very simple base layer being built on top of." 8:19 Ari: "One thing you see throughout time is some form of federalism." 10:31 Muneeb: "Imagine a mainframe computer for the entire world... it's not scalable by definition." 12:19 Muneeb: "Should you even be trying to attempt sharding at the blockchain layer?" 14:19 Muneeb: "Nodes would need near global information... which kind of kills the purpose of having shards in the first place." 16:52 Muneeb: "There's this notion - if you’re interacting with the blockchain - that smart contracts are the only interface available." 19:04 Muneeb: "Imagine a word processor... what parts do you want to hit the blockchain layer?" 24:24 Ari on how development of solutions like sharding gets going. 26:50 Muneeb: "We recently got pulled into some of the Ethereum scalability research... and recently did this public review of Casper's CBC." 29:04 Ari: "It's very frustrating to me when I discover the religion in politics of crypto." 30:03 Muneeb: "Sometimes people will ask me 'How is your Gaia storage system different FileCoin?'" 32:58 Ari: "Are you going to be integrating any Craig Wright innovations into Blockstack?" 35:34 Ari: "When you're playing poker, you want to play rational actors." 36:11 Ari: On custody and the value of vanishing. 37:07 Muneeb: "I do think [custody is] something that more and more people will start worrying about as our assets are in crypto currencies." 40:11 Ari: "Something that scares me in an existential sense: all tech is breakable." 42:30 Muneeb: "We really believe in the ability to exit." 45:32 Ari: "My concern is in the asymmetry." 47:57 Muneeb: "Look at SSL: maintained by one individual, then Heartbleed happened." 49:24 Ari: "I think it's wonderful we’ve had some Proof of Work attacks on the Ethereum Classic network... that's antifragile." 49:59 Ari: "The financial system doesn't worry about this because there's the fallback to legal." 50:57 Ari: "Andreas Antonopoulos would say Bitcoin is uncensorable because the network can block bad actors, but..." 51:28 Goodbyes. 51:52 Credits.

Another week, another crypto heist. This time, Ethereum Classic was the target, when hackers stole around $1.1 million worth of coins by taking over 51-percent of the currency's network. Another familiar blunder came this week when it was revealed that technologically challenged convicted criminal Paul Manafort had yet another problem using basic tech.

The promise of digital cryptocurrencies like bitcoin is that you don't need to trust the people you send or receive money from because the software makes it technically impossible for anyone to cheat the system. Instead of relying on humans and their flawed judgment, you rely on the laws of mathematics. But a recent attack on the cryptocurrency Ethereum Classic---not to be confused with the original Ethereum project---shows once again how hard it is to remove human frailty from digital systems.
