En esta entrega, nos sumergimos en el intrigante mundo de las criptomonedas y exploramos el papel crucial de los validadores en este ecosistema. ¿Qué significa ser un validador en el ámbito crypto y cómo se lleva a cabo esta función?Para desentrañar estos temas, contamos con la participación de Juan Andrés Calderón, un entusiasta y miembro activo de una comunidad de validadores. Juan nos brinda una visión detallada de su experiencia y nos explica en qué consiste este papel esencial. Además, nos introduce al ecosistema Cosmos y a V-Dimension, ofreciendo una perspectiva única sobre cómo estos proyectos están moldeando el futuro de las criptomonedas. No te pierdas esta conversación reveladora sobre la importancia de los validadores en la cadena de bloques y el impacto de los nuevos proyectos en el mundo crypto. ------ Links comentados en el episodio: Canal Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/ @NacionCrypto ------ ** Contexto del episodio**: Los validadores son nodos en una red blockchain que participan en el proceso de validación y verificación de transacciones. A diferencia de los mineros en una red basada en Proof of Work (PoW), los validadores son una parte esencial de las redes basadas en Proof of Stake (PoS). Una explicación más detallada: • Proof of Stake (PoS): En PoS, los validadores son seleccionados para proponer y validar nuevos bloques basándose en la cantidad de criptomonedas que poseen y están dispuestos a “apostar” o “poner en juego” como garantía. Cuanto mayor sea la cantidad de criptomonedas que un validador posee y apuesta, mayores serán sus posibilidades de ser seleccionado para validar un bloque. • Tareas de los Validadores: 1.Validación de Transacciones: Los validadores verifican que las transacciones en el bloque sean legítimas y cumplan con las reglas del protocolo. 2. Propuesta de Bloques: Los validadores proponen nuevos bloques que contienen transacciones verificadas. 3. Consenso: Participan en el proceso de consenso, colaborando con otros validadores para acordar el estado actual de la blockchain. 4. Recompensas: A cambio de su trabajo, los validadores reciben recompensas en forma de criptomonedas, que pueden incluir tanto nuevas monedas emitidas como comisiones por transacción. • Requisitos para ser Validador: Generalmente, se requiere poseer una cantidad mínima de la criptomoneda en cuestión y cumplir con ciertos requisitos técnicos para operar un nodo validador. • Riesgos: Si un validador actúa de manera maliciosa o no sigue las reglas del protocolo, puede perder parte o la totalidad de sus criptomonedas apostadas como penalización. ------ 10AMPRO ALPHA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iLYu7BpHN8&list=PLataQ837aHu7LjfO8e0AKNdmqFxwCQsMt ------- Síguenos en nuestra canal de WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va7npiPBA1ewkeO36R37 -------- Vender en Amazon: https://class.vendecomopro.net/a/2147651181/qpKj58dc -------- Ticker de crypto/acciones: https://shorturl.at/chF36 -------- Staking de Solana con MEV: https://shorturl.at/oxPY8 ----------- Quieres saber como es el portafolio de Hernan Jaramillo: https://10ampro.gumroad.com/l/portafoliohernanjaramillo ------- Nada del contenido expresado en el canal son recomendaciones financieras (not financial advice, NFA) -------- Twitter: Canal 10AM: https://twitter.com/10ampro Hernán Jaramillo: https://twitter.com/holdmybirra Darío Palacio: https://twitter.com/dariopalacio Lucas Jaramillo: https://twitter.com/lucasjaramillod El Gordo: https://twitter.com/Gordoneaprod TikTok: Canal 10AM: https://tiktok.com/@10ampro

✨About Canto✨ Canto is a decentralized exchange built with Cosmos SDK that runs the EVM on its execution layer. The primary difference between Canto and most other DEXs is that it doesn't charge the user LP fees to make swaps, which means that LPs don't earn additional swap fees. This is in line with Canto's vision of providing an exchange as a public service rather than as a private enterprise. From Messari: - Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange, lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. - These three core DeFi primitives are offered to users as Free Public Infrastructure — public utilities that are free to use in perpetuity. - Canto's design choices represent a radically different approach to building blockchain applications that could catalyze an organic wave of developer adoption. However, a concentrated token distribution and reliance on liquidity mining could hinder the network's long-term growth. Two important trends are occurring across crypto right now: Blue-chip DeFi application business models are converging. Rather than offering a single service in isolation, protocols are beginning to package exchange, lending, and stablecoin services together in one unified stack. Applications are choosing to leave generalized smart contract networks to create their own application-specific blockchains. While this approach forces applications to bootstrap their own network security, it allows for greater customizability and control over network incentives. Canto is an experimental smart contract network that combines both of these ideas together. Built on the Cosmos SDK, Canto is a general-purpose Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that embeds a decentralized exchange (DEX), lending market, and overcollateralized currency into the network. Canto views these three core DeFi primitives as public goods that should be offered to users for free. Altogether, Canto provides a unique approach to both application and network design that is aligned with the permissionless ethos of public blockchains.

In this episode of the DeFi Download podcast, Piers talks with Pol Lanski, Project Lead of Dappnode, about the benefits of running a validator node in a decentralised network like Ethereum or Bitcoin, and how Dappnode makes it simple for anyone to do so. SummaryDappnode is a platform that allows users to run validator nodes and participate in decentralised networks without needing technical expertise. It promotes network security and decentralisation while supporting economic accessibility through its liquid staking derivative (LSD) networks and other tools.Key takeawaysRunning nodes in decentralised networks is critical for ensuring decentralisation and contributing to network security. There is a push toward economic accessibility, which Dappnode's liquid staking derivative networks and other tools can help with.Users can drop their ETH into liquid staking derivative (LSD) networks and receive a derivative of that ETH, which can then be deployed into validators on Dappnode.Dappnode is a platform that allows users to easily run their own nodes as an alternative to relying on third-party services. It also enables users without technical knowledge to participate in these networks and manage their validators.Monitoring staking performance is vital for users, and Dappnode provides integrated open-source dashboarding tools for this purpose.Dappnode is an open ecosystem, which means that anyone can contribute to and build on it. It provides solutions for people who cannot afford the 32 ETH required to run an Ethereum validator to participate in the decentralised revolution.Chapters[01:09] Why is it important that anyone be able to run a validator node?[04:15] What is the intellectual leap from using IPFS for file storage and website hosting to running nodes on Ethereum?[09:10] Piers highlights the importance of syncing up with consensus in decentralised networks and explains how Infura offers a useful solution in this context. [15:18] Piers discusses Ethereum's shift from proof of work to proof of stake, emphasising the importance of decentralisation in Ethereum's design and mentioning that running a validator node with at least 32 ETH can earn fees and contribute to the security of the network. Dappnode is a way to make running a node easier. What was involved in running an Ethereum node before Dappnode came along?[24:25] What kind of guarantees are there around the software being up to date and running once installed?[25:40] Within what timeframe does Dappnode typically do the updates?[26:47] Piers emphasises the importance of users being able to monitor the performance of their staking. Has Dappnode developed any dashboarding solutions for this purpose?[30:36] The staking amount required for Ethereum's validator software has decreased from 10,000 ETH to 32 ETH. While this is a significant reduction, 32 ETH remains a considerable amount of money. Are there any solutions provided by Dappnode for individuals who wish to participate in the decentralised revolution but cannot afford 32 ETH?[34:50] Piers mentions the debates surrounding the use of Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) versus Proof of Stake (PoS) in blockchain technology. When can we expect Dappnode to make this technology available for those who want to get involved but don't have a large amount of capital to invest?[39:39] Where can you find out more about Dappnode and how to get involved?Further resourcesWebsite: https://dappnode.com/ Discord: https://discord.gg/dappnode Twitter: https://twitter.com/DAppNode

While Europe introduces the idea of blockchain environmental scores, Ethereum uses 99.99% less energy than they did before the merge. These factors together could further misconstrue Bitcoin's narrative with energy. Bitcoin Proof-of-Work (PoW) computational effort is highly unlikely to ever change in regard to it's energy intensive PoW mining. Bitcoin could receive a very poor environmentally rating in comparison to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains such as Ethereum or Solana. William Szamosszegi specializes in Bitcoin mining under 100% Green Powered Facilities. Will breaks down the relationship Bitcoin has with energy, and why the PoW algorithm is not only beneficial, but also how it has potential to become Carbon Negative. Will is highly articulate with a burning fire passion for Bitcoin.

MATIC is an ERC-20 token which powers the Polygon layer-2 Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. On this episode, we're breaking down the latest Polygon (MATIC) updates as well as considering what might make Polygon the best crypto token to invest in come the next bull-run.~This episode is sponsored by Gala~Gala Games website ➜ https://bit.ly/GALAgamesGala Film Node ➜ https://links.gala.com/GalaFilmNodePBN
This week on The Defiant Podcast we speak with Ben Edgington, the product owner of Teku, an Ethereum 2.0 client being developed at Consensys. It's been a week since Ethereum switched from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Ben has been heavily involved in the process. We start our conversation by taking a look at the aftermath of the Merge. One of the biggest criticisms of The Merge was that Ethereum under PoS would become centralized. Proof-of-stake enables individuals to delegate their ETH to entities that stake on their behalf, as running a node might be inconvenient or infeasible. We discuss how roughly half of the staked Ether is held by a handful of validators and what Ben thinks about this. Finally, Ben shares his thoughts on the future of Ethereum and what comes next, now that the Merge is complete.
EPIC Games Listed their first NFT Game on the Store.Did you know?What is the latest buzz in the cryptocurrency market? The famous creator of Fortnite has added its first NFT game Blankos Block Party to its store. Not only that, one user paid as much as 36.8 ETH in gas just to mint the first NFT on Ethereum in its Proof-of-Stake (POS) version. To date, Blankos Block Party has accumulated more than one million players since being launched in 2020 by Mythical Games. The multiplayer game focuses on unique collectible digital vinyl toys called Blankos, NFTs that can be purchased, upgraded, and sold within the game.The developer announced that various Web3 gaming projects would be welcomed on Epic Games Store, with Grit being the first NFT project to be included. This announcement, however, does not appear to be well received by users.For the past few years, traditional gaming brands have been trying to bring Web3 projects into their stores, but the gaming community is strictly against these developments. However, Epic Games appears adamant about adding Web3 gaming projects to the Epic Games Store.The CEO stated that the Epic Games Store could accept blockchain-powered games as long as they follow applicable laws, disclose their terms, and are thus age-rated by an appropriate collective.The new NFT-based game thus takes the top spot in Epic Games' store and will be available from 28 September. Additionally, the game does not require users to purchase NFTs in order to play. Instead, it is possible to purchase and play without using NFTs. Currently, the game is in its "early access" phase.Blankos Block Party draws inspiration from creator toy heritage and allows users to interact and collaborate in a vibrantly colored virtual environment. NFTs are used in the video game to represent unique items such as avatar creations and gadgets that can be purchased and sold through the market system.Since its initial release, the video game has partnered with numerous product lines and artist collaborators for limited-edition releases, including Atari, Burberry, and music producer Deadmau5. The video game, however, does not require the possession of NFTs. An NFT is a blockchain symbol representing a product's ownership, such as video game characters, weapons, or virtual territory.Upcoming Blockchain game from GRIT.As a result of the launch of Blankos Block Party, Epic Games has delayed what Web3 game company Gala Games foretold last June.In fact, Gala Games had claimed to involve more than 194 million users of the Epic Games Store in its GRIT game, which, however, is still in the “Coming Soon” section of the marketplace. Even though the GRIT game has slipped through the cracks as the top NFT-powered blockchain game on the Epic Games Store, it appears that the game's long wait is setting a precedent for other NFT games in the near future.Paying 36.8 ETH to get NFT mint on PoS.The NFT-mania could make each novelty unique. The user who paid 36.8 ETH in fees to buy the first Proof-of-Stake NFT minted on Ethereum's new blockchain may have been thinking this.Earlier this month, Ethereum's blockchain was converted from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, relying on staking rather than mining.Apparently, the user wanted to frame this change by purchasing the first PoS NFT, paying 36.8 ETH in fees alone, an amount equal to over $53,800.In addition to Blankos Block Party, other NFT games will probably be released on Epic Games Store. interesting?Don't forget to share and subscribe to our channel for the most recent, hot, and exciting updates.
IT'S MERGE WEEK! To celebrate I'm going back to the OG episode for this podcast - Vitalik's article on Why Proof of Stake! On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's merge week - the week that Ethereum will finally transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. The Ethereum foundation says that the Merge will be ‘the most significant upgrade in the history of Ethereum.' The switch to PoS will replace energy-intensive mining, and instead secure the network with staked ETH. Why you should listen The Merge represents the joining together or ‘merging' of the execution layer, Ethereum as we know it today, with a consensus layer called the Beacon chain. The Beacon chain uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model that will replace the current Proof-of-Work (PoW) model that the mainnet currently uses. The switch to PoS will replace energy-intensive mining, and instead secure the network with staked ETH. The merge is set to cut the emission rate of Ethereum by 90% (according to some analysts). PoS makes securing the network much cheaper than with Proof-of-Work because PoS validators are paid far less than PoW miners. Calculations from some analysts suggest that the inflation rate cut to Ethereum will be the equivalent of “three Bitcoin halvings”. Bitcoin bulls generally tout the halving as a powerful bullish tailwind and often focus on investing for around 4 years. If Ethereum bulls are right then the PoS transition will be 12 years of halving cycles in a single event.

With the Ethereum Merge on the horizon, everybody is talking about staking – a process whereby crypto holders put their digital assets to work and earn passive income without needing to sell them. Episode 30 of CopperCasts welcomes Lorien Gabel, CEO of one of the most important players in the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) space, Figment. Founded in 2018, Figment is a Canadian-based PoS infrastructure provider that offers institutional staking and supports various projects with infrastructure and services. In this conversation, Lorien and CopperCasts host, Tyler Kenyon, discuss all things staking and the misconceptions around it, what the Ethereum Merge really means for investors, and also how regulations around staking are evolving. Make sure to also check out Lorien's Show & Tell on our Youtube channel to hear his explanation as to why over the past two years, PoS has been gaining traction on PoW, and why going forward, Lorien expects PoS to remain the dominant consensus mechanism. Note: This episode was recorded on 24 April 2022.

PoS networks face stake-centralization issues. 2. Delegators face complexity surrounding discovery and stake management. 3. Node Operators struggle to get the right visibility and delegations. - While solving the above challenges is paramount for the PoS ecosystems, there are several multi-billion dollar opportunities on top of staking in the short- to mid-term including: 1. L1 tokens safely staked and strategies like Launchpads, DeFi, etc. built with rewards. 2. Liquid staking and its associated DeFi possibilities. 3. Gaming powered by staking rewards. 4. Customized staking for Institutions, VCs, Crypto exchanges and Fintechs. - Stader is building the key staking middleware infrastructure layer for multiple PoS networks that will power the above staking-related opportunities while solving the key challenges. - We are taking an extremely modular approach to building our contracts so third parties can leverage our components to build several staking solutions on top of it. - In the short term, Stader is building native staking smart contracts across multiple chains including Terra, Solana, among others, and building an economic ecosystem to grow and develop solutions like YFI-style farming with rewards, launchpads, gaming with rewards, liquid staking solutions, and more. - In the long term, Stader is focused on unlocking the platform approach and nurturing third parties to develop several staking-related applications on top of Stader infrastructure.~~~~Thank you so much for watching the video, if you've not subscribed to the channel please do!

In einer neuen News-Episode von Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll nehmen Jonas Groß, Michael Blaschke und Sarah Palurovic den aktuellen Krypto-Crash unter die Lupe. In den letzten Wochen sind vor allem Kryptowerte wie Bitcoin und Ether in einem sehr schwachen Gesamtmarkt erheblich unter die Räder gekommen. Bitcoin ist zeitweise unter die Marke von 20.000 USD gefallen – ein Rückgang vom Allzeithoch von mehr als 65%. Was sind die Gründe für den starken Preisrückgang im Kryptomarkt? Welche Rolle spielt die Inflation und die Europäische Zentralbank? Droht ein weiterer Preisverfall? Sind wir auf dem Weg in einen länger anhaltenden Kryptowinter? All das beleuchten wir im Deep Dive dieser Episode. Was erwartet euch darüber hinaus in der Episode? Unter anderem folgende Themen: - Digitale Zentralbankwährung (CBDC) in China: In China wurde e-CNY, die eigene CBDC, dafür verwendet, Hilfszahlungen als Reaktion auf die wirtschaftlichen Schäden der Covid-Krise auszuschütten. Warum CBDCs ein effizientes Zahlungsmittel für Unterstützungszahlungen sein können und wie diese Neuigkeit einzuordnen ist, erfahrt ihr in der Episode. - PayPal unterstützt externe Wallets: Seit November 2021 können Kunden zwischen PayPal-Kryptokonten Kryptowährungen handeln. Nun ist es in den USA auch möglich, diese Kryptos auf externe Wallets außerhalb des PayPal-Ökosystem auszahlen zu lassen. - Ethereum kommt der Umstellung auf Proof-of-Stake (PoS) näher: Am 08. Juni wurde Ethereums Ropsten-Netzwerk auf PoS umgestellt und erfolgreich mit der PoS-Beacon-Chain zusammengeführt - ein wichtiger Meilenstein. Der gesamte Umstellungsprozess von Ethereum könnte bereits im August abgeschlossen sein. - Bundesfinanzministerium (BMF) sendet erfreuliches Kryptosignal: In einem Brief hat sich das BMF öffentlich gegen die vom EU-Parlament geforderten Meldefristen rund um Self-Hosted Wallets gestellt und diese kritisiert. Was verbirgt sich dahinter? Wir sagen es euch! Viel Spaß beim Hören dieser News-Episode!

And it is here to create the much-anticipated shift in paradigm i.e. the shift from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Much has been said about ETH's merger, however, how has the token faired amid the ongoing changes to the network? Let's find out…https://qz.com/2177569/the-biggest-corporate-holder-of-bitcoin-is-facing-a-reckoning/The biggest corporate holder of bitcoin is facing a reckoningMicroStrategy is famous for owning more bitcoin than any other publicly-traded company. As of June 14, the Virginia-based business intelligence company holds 129,218 bitcoins, more than two-and-a-half times as much as Tesla, the next largest bitcoin owner. That bitcoin is now worth about $2.9 billion, less than half of the roughly $6 billion it was worth just two months ago.https://observer.com/2022/06/coinbase-and-its-ceo-are-melting-down/Coinbase and Its CEO Are Melting DownFor a time, Coinbase looked like one of the great success stories of the cryptocurrency era. The company built one of the best-known and most reliable crypto exchanges in the world (although most of its customers are in the US). Its assets under management ballooned from $11 billion in 2018 to $223 billion in 2021. And its initial public offering in April 2021 was exquisitely timed to harness bitcoin's upward trajectory.

Surely the greatest irony in the blockchain space is that there has never been any agreement on “the best” consensus model. Bitcoin and Ethereum are widely lauded for pioneering the concepts of blockchain and smart contract platforms respectively, but both also come under heavy criticism for their lack of scalability. The scalability challenge is largely due to their use of the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus method. Therefore, teams of developers have been focusing for years on devising a different method for achieving consensus among network participants. One that removes the bottlenecks caused by PoW, but still achieves the security of decentralization, while maintaining the right balance of incentivizing honest actors and deterring bad ones. So far, there have been dozens of attempts at solving this quandary. However, only a few have emerged as main contenders, namely proof-of-stake (PoS) and delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS.) However, a new horse just entered the race. It's not a new consensus protocol – rather, a means of speeding up consensus. A blockchain project called Solana is developing a secure, scalable blockchain that can handle up to 50,000 transactions per second on its testnet. How does it achieve this? It uses a feature called Proof of History to determine the passage of time, which, in turn, considerably reduces the weight of consensus. Proof of History, Explained Proof of History (PoH) aims to lighten the load of the network nodes in processing blocks by providing a means of encoding time itself into the blockchain. In a regular blockchain, reaching consensus over the time a particular block was mined is as much a requirement as reaching consensus over the existence of the transactions in that block. Timestamping is critical because it tells the network (and any observer) that transactions took place in a particular sequence. In a PoW scenario, the successful block miner is the first to find the correct nonce, which requires a certain amount of computing power to perform. However, PoH uses a newer cryptographic concept called Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs.) A VDF can only be solved by a single CPU core applying a particular set of sequential steps. No parallel processing is allowed, so it's easy to define exactly how long it takes to apply those steps. Therefore, the passage of time is evident. PoH solves the time challenge, and thus reduces the processing weight of the blockchain, making it lighter and faster. Solana combines PoH with a security protocol called Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance (Tower BFT), which allows participants to stake tokens so they can vote on the validity of a PoH hash. This protocol penalizes bad actors if they vote in favor of a fork that doesn't match the PoH records. Furthermore, Solana deploys proof-of-stake (PoS) as a means of determining who can participate as a block validator. The Evolution of Blockchains So how does Proof of History stack up to its predecessors? Proof-of-Work There are some similarities between Proof of Work and the Proof of History feature. Mainly, that both methods rely on a defined expenditure of computing power to produce blocks, or hashes as they are known in PoH. Like Bitcoin and most other PoW blockchains, Solana also uses the SHA-256 algorithm. This may raise the question of whether an ASIC could significantly speed up solving the VDF function in PoH. Solana believes that this isn't a challenge and that the processing power of most ASICs would be within an acceptable range of what's available to the wider network. Because PoH removes the timestamping burden from the network, it results in a far lighter, faster blockchain than anyone has been able to achieve so far using PoW. The incentive mechanisms are protected by combining with Tower BFT. Regardless, PoH can work together with Proof of Work as well, thereby improving its scalability. Proof-of-Stake Proof of Stake (PoS) has been the long-promised solution to Ethereum's scalability. In PoS, net...

Fewer and fewer people are using bitcoin for digital payments. Nevertheless, bitcoin transactions are consuming more energy than ever before – the . Fewer and fewer people are using bitcoin for digital payments. Nevertheless, bitcoin transactions are consuming more energy than ever before – the same amount as the whole of Thailand. With a carbon footprint equivalent to the Czech Republic's (around 114 million tonnes per year), bitcoin is cancelling out other climate wins. The global take-up of electric vehicles, for example, is estimated to have prevented 50 million tonnes of CO₂ so far. That's less than half of bitcoin's emissions for a single year. And the problem's getting worse. The growth of bitcoin “mining” powered by fossil fuels is outpacing greener alternatives, causing bitcoin's carbon footprint to swell five-fold in just two years. But, according to campaign groups Greenpeace and the Environmental Working Group, all this can be easily fixed with a simple update to bitcoin's software. Their campaign, called Change the Code Not the Climate, launched recently and calls on bitcoin software developers to switch the network from its currently wasteful system for verifying transactions to a more climate-friendly alternative. The switch, they claim, would reduce bitcoin's carbon footprint by 99.9%. But it's unlikely to happen soon – and here's why. Proof of waste to proof of stake? Bitcoiners don't trust bankers, taxmen and other meddling middlemen. Because there are no banks with bitcoin, the job of keeping the books straight is given to a global network of specialist computers. The owners of these computers compete for bookkeeping tasks in return for the transaction fees paid by network users. They also get a few newly minted bitcoins as a thank you. This competition is known as Proof of Work (PoW) mining. It works like an ever-expanding game of hungry hippos. The more players that join the contest, the more work each hippo needs to do in order to win anything. If a new hippo with green intentions joins the game, everyone at the table has to work harder. Players powered by coal in Kazakhstan, or fossil gas in Texas, then belch out extra smog. The higher the bitcoin price, the more the dirty hippos are prepared to waste on coal and gas until their costs for doing so are equal to their reward. And so, Proof of Work is proof of waste. And this is waste by design: Bitcoiners call this inefficiency “the feature, not the bug”. Greenpeace hopes the bitcoin community could learn to love Proof of Stake (PoS) instead. With the network running on PoS, bitcoin's bookkeepers would need to stake a prescribed minimum number of bitcoins as a security deposit. If they validate fraudulent transactions, they lose their stake. This disincentive keeps the network secure. A number of blockchains, including Cardano, EOS, and TRON already use a PoS system, where token holders vote for the most qualified block producers. While bitcoin currently uses millions of mining computers, these PoS networks usually maintain an assembly of around 20 machines using a comparably minuscule amount of energy, taking turns to receive bookkeeping rights. Code blockers For bitcoin, coding these changes would be straightforward. Greenpeace claims that only 30 people – the largest mining outfits, exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, and code developers – would need to agree the switch to PoS. But this ignores the fact that everyone would need to run the upgraded software. On average, to successfully mine bitcoin once per week requires shelling out around US$1.8 million (£1.4 million) on hardware. Most miners are protective of these investments and conservative when it comes to amending the software code that underwrites their winnings. For this reason, Chris Bendiksen, a commentator at the cryptocurrency website CoinShares, puts the chance of Bitcoin ever moving to PoS at 0%. “There is no appetite among Bitcoiners to destroy the security of the protocol by making ...

Today on Fortune Teller Podcast we are talking with Sergey Gorbunov, Co-Founder of Axelar Network. The Axelar Network brings Decentralized Interoperability to Ethereum, Cosmos Avalanche, Terra, Moonbeam and others, by unlocking cross-chain communications. Blockchain platform builders can plug-in their blockchain ecosystem to all other blockchain ecosystems. Dapp builders can host their dapps anywhere, as well as lock, unlock, and transfer assets, and speak with dapps on other chains via Axelar API. Users are able to interact with all applications across each blockchain's ecosystem right from their wallet. Axelar is empowered by a decentralized and open network of validators. Any user can join, use it, and partake in the Axelar protocol. Byzantine consensus, cryptography, and incentives are used to ensure high-safety and liveness needs for cross-chain requests. The network is a universal platform to connects all blockchains via a decentralized network and an SDK of protocols and APIs. With the network and SDK, developers can effectively make new connections and implement their dapps with all blockchain ecosystems. This creates greater access to users, assets, liquidity, and many other applications. Axelar differs from similar projects in that current projects work on interoperability within their own ecosystems. They generally lack methods to connect external blockchains based off of different consensus rules and software stacks. The need to provide interoperability in the wider crypto ecosystem has been met with unproven centralized point-to-point bridging options created in the market. Axelar gives a complete solution to cross-chain interactions that is made to be interoperable with any chain. This allows for plug-and-play connectivity with little work to integrate new chains, and is made to be decentralized. Axelar features cross-chain routing and application-level transfer protocols. This lets builders access all interconnected chains via the Axelar network. This results in allowing developers to build on the best platforms that suit their needs and use global liquidity and composability. Due to being decentralized, it is open for anyone to participate in. Being universal in connecting, it is possible to scale across arbitrary Layer 1, Layer 2, Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) chains. Retail users will be able to take advantage of cross-chain asset transfer workflows directly within the apps that they already use. The Axelar Network has already been audited by NCC, Cure53, and Oak Security. Axelar continues to perform audits of other components and functionalities, stress-testing, and pen-testing of its network throughout development. In January 2022, the Public Mainnet roll out begins, after initial interrogations with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the support of arbitrary EVM chains have happened.

In the complex world of crypto, how do you separate the junk from the value? Motley Fool cryptocurrency expert Bernd Schmid joins producer Ricky Mulvey to discuss what long-term investors should look for in this emerging space, including: - How to think about allocation - The real-world problems that blockchain platforms are already solving - Fundamental differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Stocks: OSTK, NVDA Cryptos: BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC What Is Proof of Stake (PoS) in Crypto? - https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/financials/cryptocurrency-stocks/proof-of-stake/ What Is Cold Storage in Crypto? - https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/financials/cryptocurrency-stocks/cold-storage/ Host: Ricky Mulvey Guest: Bernd Schmid Engineers: Rick Engdahl, Dan Boyd
Location: New York Date: Sunday 5th December Project: Ethereum Role: Core Developer The Proof of Work (PoW) consensus protocol is under relentless attack. Earlier this month The House of Representatives held a hearing on digital assets. Rashida Tlaib dismissively questioned Proof of Work PoW, quoting erroneous Bitcoin transaction energy cost data. In response Stellar's CEO Denelle Dixon implicitly agreed PoW was energy intensive, and that “we all need to focus on minimizing the energy consumption as much as possible”. The next day Ripple's co-founder Chairman Chris Larsen published a medium article that stated “Bitcoin's code needs to be changed to a low energy consensus algorithm like those used by nearly all other major crypto protocols.” Last week CNBC interviewed the CEOs of 2 wealth management firms. One stated the following: “Bitcoin operates on PoW: that's the older technology, it's slower, it's really a drain on energy. Proof of Stake (PoS) is the newer system, it's where I'd want my money going. It's less energy intensive. It's faster. It's more secure." In potentially the biggest change to any blockchain ever implemented, Ethereum is planning to move from PoW to PoS. PoS has been argued by its proponents (most notably Vitalik Buterin) to not only be less energy intensive than PoW, but to also provide significantly much cheaper security, and greater decentralization. But, the arguments dismissing PoW and recommending PoS are fundamentally flawed. In this interview, I talk to the former Ethereum Core Developer Lane Rettig, who now works as a core developer for Spacemesh. We discuss the history and logic behind PoW, the drivers for developing new consensus protocols, how PoS is set to work within Ethereum, and the significant flaws and risks this proposed change entails.
“When you make this change that we just talked about going from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake you break a lot of the really cool stuff…I don't think any of us appreciated the complexity and how much fixing we'd have to do after breaking Nakamoto consensus.”— Lane RettigLocation: New YorkDate: Sunday 5th DecemberProject: EthereumRole: Core DeveloperThe Proof of Work (PoW) consensus protocol is under relentless attack.

Let's talk about Crypto Staking! - the process through which you earn income with your crypto by contributing to the Proof of Stake (PoS) network of a particular asset. When you stake your crypto, you make the underlying blockchain of that asset more secure and more efficient. And in exchange, you get rewarded with more assets from the network. But hey, don't take it from our streaming summary - listen to Ajit Tripathi (Aave), Marcus Maute (Bridgetower Capital) and Kirill Kutakov (StakeWise) for this absolute impressive discussion on the topic.

Es gibt einen großen Hype auf digitales Geld wie Bitcoin oder Dogecoin. Und dabei sind zwei Stimmen in den Medien besonders präsent: Die einen, die sagen, dass sie mit Kryptogeld Millionen gemacht haben. Oft glauben sie, Krypto sei die Zukunft. Und andere, die meinen, das sei alles riesiger Quatsch. Sie betonen wie riskant Krypto im Vergleich zu anderen Geldanlagen ist. In dieser Folge erfährst du, was am Crypto-Hype dran ist. Gemeinsam mit Dominik Schiener (02:52), einer der Gründer von IOTA, sprechen wir über die Chancen und Risiken. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, welchen Einfluss Kryptogeld auf das Klima hat. Während Bitcoin den Sicherheitsmechanismus Proof of Work (POW) nutzt, der sehr viel Storm verbraucht, setzen andere Coins auf den energiesparsamen Sicherheitsmechanismus Proof of Stake (POS). Etherium, die Plattform hinter dem zweitgrößten Kryptocoin Ether, plant in 2022 auf Proof of Stake umzusteigen und damit den Energieverbrauch um 99,95 % zu reduzieren. Laut Wissenschaftler Alex de Vries (22:04) von Digiconomist wäre das prinzipiell auch für Bitcoin möglich, ist aber eher unwahrscheinlich. Den aktuellen Stromverbrauch von Bitcoin kannst du im Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index nachschauen: https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index Hier kommst du zum Infoportal von Alex de Vries: https://digiconomist.net/
Alejandro de la Torre has an extensive background in Bitcoin mining. He co-founded the mining pool BTC.com, which was later acquired by Bitmain, the maker of the Antminer. For the past 2+ years, he was VP at Poolin, a large Bitcoin mining pool. Alejandro is Changing the Tide with Proofofwork.energy. He founded this new business just two weeks ago and is committed to decentralizing Bitcoin mining by making it happen in places where it has not yet proliferated. As the remaining supply of Bitcoin to be mined continues to decrease, this is going to help bring greater freedom and prosperity to those areas. It will also help better secure the network by combatting moves by governments that could significantly decrease hashrate, like the recent ban in the summer of 2021 by the People's Republic of China (PRC). We talk about: *the mission of Proofofwork.energy *stories from his time in the PRC at BTC.com, Bitmain, and Poolin *Alejandro's work coordinating communication with mining pools and Bitcoin Core developers in the lead up to Taproot activation, and how this stemmed from "PTSD" caused by the 2017 blocksize wars *the benefits of Proof of Work (PoW) versus Proof of Stake (PoS) *how the PRC came to dominate Bitcoin mining, and how he assisted the "great miner migration" after the mining ban there earlier this year Links: Alejandro's Twitter handle: @bitentrepreneur Proofofwork.energy Twitter handle: @proofofwork_e Proofofwork.energy website: https://proofofwork.energy/ **Note: Nothing in this podcast constitutes financial, legal, or medical advice.

On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem. This seems like a great place to start our reads as the discussion is still alive and kicking and who better to read for our first article than Vitalik, one of the co-founders of Ethereum?
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) continues to dominate the blockchain landscape in 2021, with Ethereum moving closer to its 2.0 upgrade and PoS consensus, as well as other major protocol launches this year using the consensus mechanism. Tushar Aggarwal, CEO, and Founder of Persistence, an ecosystem of next-generation financial services designed to stimulate global liquidity, has been a long-term advocate for PoS blockchains. A former Podcast Host for Decrypt Asia and Venture Partner deal sourcing for blockchain and crypto startups for Outlier Ventures, Tushar has extensive expertise across operations, investment, and management consultancy in the financial technology and blockchain industry. Prior to founding Persistence in 2015, Tushar worked as a Principal at blockchain and cryptocurrency fund LuneX Ventures. The experienced entrepreneur and investor, Tushar was awarded a place on the renowned Forbes 30 under 30 Asia list in 2021 for his work in finance and venture capital. As CEO of Persistence, Tushar is aiming to bridge the gap between legacy finance and decentralized finance via a fully interoperable protocol and evolving ecosystem of services purpose-built for seamless integration across blockchains. As a recognized thought leader on DeFi, staking, and interoperability, he shares his insights on several developments in blockchain including, Interoperability in blockchains; the importance of a self-sovereign network of blockchains. We also discuss Blockchain network governance on Eth2.0 and liquid staking and how to stimulate locked assets. Finally, we discuss unlocking mass DeFi adoption through better tooling.

In der heutigen 5-min Friday Episode reagiert Alexander Bechtel auf die 5-min Friday Episode von letzter Woche, in der Michael Blaschke die Vorteile von Proof of Stake (PoS) unter die Lupe genommen hat. Michael argumentiert, dass PoS der überlegene Konsensalgorithmus ist im Vergleich zu Proof of Work (PoW). Das kann Alexander natürlich nicht so stehen lassen und nimmt daher in dieser Episode die Gegenposition ein. Seiner Meinung nach ist PoW überlegen. Sowohl PoW als auch PoS haben ihre Vor- und Nachteile. In den Bitcoin- und Litecoin-Netzwerken wird Konsens mittels PoW erreicht. Nach PoW ist PoS der am häufigsten verwendete Konsens-Mechanismus in der Blockchain-Technologie. Einige Coins wie Peercoin verwenden ein gemischtes System, bei dem beide Methoden integriert sind. Derzeit ist Ethereum dabei, auf ein PoS-System umzusteigen. Der Hauptgrund für die Überlegenheit von PoW ist laut Alexander die Tendenz zur Zentralisierung bei PoS. Da es bei den beiden Konsensalgorithmen darum geht in dezentralen, offenen, öffentlichen, grenzenlosen, zensurresistenten Netzwerken Sicherheit zu schaffen, ist jegliche Zentralisierung ein No-Go. Warum es bei PoS mittel- bis langfristig zu einer Zentralisierung kommen könnte, erfahrt ihr in der heutigen 5-min Friday Episode. Viel Spass!

Coinstack - For Smart Crypto Investors - Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi & The Future of Money
Ethereum: 1. Settles more daily value than Bitcoin ($22B vs. $6B) 2. Has much higher daily revenues than Bitcoin ($7M vs. $500k) 3. Has way more apps with $1B in TVL than Bitcoin (13 vs. 0) And now with the launch of EIP-1559 it will begin to reduce its supply by using its transaction fees to burn Ether. In early 2022 it will move to a Proof of Stake (PoS) network and will begin to have a deflationary supply -- meaning that its supply will be going down every year -- while Bitcoin's supply will continue to go up until 2140. In this podcast we update you on what's happening with Ethereum and its native currency Ether (ETH). Ready more at coinstack.substack.com
In der heutigen 5-min Friday Episode nimmt Michael Blaschke die Vorteile von Proof of Stake (PoS) unter die Lupe. Nächste Woche folgt dann Alexander Bechtel mit der Gegenposition und analysiert, worin Proof of Work (PoW) überlegen ist. Sowohl PoW als auch PoS haben ihre Vor- und Nachteile. In den Bitcoin- und Litecoin-Netzwerken wird Konsens mittels PoW erreicht. Nach PoW ist PoS der am häufigsten verwendete Konsens-Mechanismus in der Blockchain-Technologie. Einige Coins wie Peercoin verwenden ein gemischtes System, bei dem beide Methoden integriert sind. Derzeit ist Ethereum dabei, auf ein PoS-System umzusteigen. Im Jahr 2011 schlug ein Bitcoin-Forum-Benutzer namens „QuantumMechanic“ eine neue Technik vor, die er eben „Proof of Stake“ nannte. Die erste Kryptowährung, die die PoS-Methode annahm, war Peercoin. Nxt, Blackcoin und ShadowCoin folgten bald darauf. PoS bestimmt den Erzeuger des nächsten Blocks. Dabei wird eine gewichtete Zufallsauswahl eingesetzt. Die Gewichte der einzelnen Teilnehmer werden aus Teilnahmedauer und/oder Vermögen (dem „Stake“) ermittelt. Doch worin zeichnet sich PoS aus? Michael Blaschke gibt eine Antwort mit vier Thesen, warum PoS dem PoW überlegen ist: 1. PoS verbraucht weniger Strom. 2. PoS unterliegt keinen verzerrenden Skaleneffekten. 3. PoS schliesst eine Netzwerkübernahme allein durch Besitz von Rechenleistung aus („51-%-Angriff“). 4. PoS senkt Einstiegshürden in den Validierungsprozess.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we touch on Square Crypto venturing in to the hardware wallet space, a Casa client getting drugged on a date, and then destroy our bitcoin-only cred by venturing into projects moving from Ethereum to Solana, PS4 Crypto Mining in Vinnytsa, and TikTok shitcoin promoting, and a new Korean token that takes '˜shitcoin' a little too literally.'œWe're doing it'. That's what Jack Dorsey tweeted about Square's plans to build a Bitcoin Hardware wallet. Hardware lead at Square Jesse Dorogusker stated 'œWe have decided to build a hardware wallet and service to make bitcoin custody more mainstream. We'll continue to ask and answer questions in the open. This community's response to our thread about this project has been awesome - encouraging, generous, collaborative, & inspiring.'Another Australia-based blockchain company Power Ledger is to migrate to Solana from Ethereum in search of higher speed and scalability. The firm also cited the lower energy output of Solana's Proof-of-History (POH) and Proof-of-Stake (POS) mechanisms in an announcement Monday. The Power Ledger Energy Blockchain is built to audit and streamline the buying and selling of renewable energy. "The Power Ledger technology stack was built on a low-power POS consortium in 2016 before transitioning to a modified fee-less Proof-of-Authority Ethereum consortium chain in 2017," co-founder John Bulich said. "That serves its purpose in the short term but the limitations of this solution were always very apparent, including low transactions per minute," he added. The platform's POWR tokens will still be used for existing clients and remain on the Ethereum network.Jameson Lopp posted a story of a Tinder Date gone wrong for one of his Casa Clients, initiated conversation with a woman who claimed to be a 'œcryptocurrency trader' according to her profile. The two exchanged pleasantries and eventually met up in person. Beyond feeling like her pictures were slightly different from her in-person appearance, the date appeared to be straightforward. It wasn't until the two decided to go back to the man's apartment that things turned sour. According to the post, 'œWhile he was there we suspect the woman laced our client's drink with scopolamine, also known as '˜Devil's Breath,' or a benzodiazepine. These drugs are well known to cause loss of inhibition and memory loss.' 'œSome time later, he believes the woman picked up his phone and asked him to show her how to unlock it and find his passwords,' states the blog post. It goes on to say, 'œOur client woke up the next day in his bed and noticed his phone was missing, though his wallet along with cash, debit cards, and ID were still there.'Ukrainian authorities have raided an allegedly illicit crypto farm in the country. According to an official announcement from the Security Service of Ukraine, the facility was located on the former premises of JSC Vinnytsiaoblenergo, an electricity supply company. The illegal crypto miners concealed their activities by manipulating electricity meters to steal electricity from JSC Vinnytsiaoblenergo. Described as the largest underground mining operation discovered by the Ukrainian police, the farm housed nearly 5,000 computer equipment units, including 3,800 PlayStation 4 consoles, over 500 graphics cards, 50 processing units, notebooks, phones and flash drives. The SBU estimated the state's monthly losses due to electricity theft '" which had the potential to cause electricity shortages for the entire city of Vinnytsa '" to range between $186,200 and $259,300. Several estimates show that Sony's last-gen gaming console, PlayStation 4, is not the ideal rig to mine cryptocurrency. Given its slightly outdated configuration compared to many mining rigs available today, even a 16-console PS4 setup would fail to generate meaningful returns with legal electricity usage. '" https://cointelegraph.com/news/ukrainian-police-seize-3-800-ps4-consoles-used-for-illegal-crypto-miningTikTok announced on Friday that certain types of ads would no longer be allowed on their platform. Crypto-based promotional content was included among the now-verboten topics, according to an article from FT Adviser on July 8. The new guidelines on the social video posting site will specifically inhibit users from posting promotional content about financial products, regardless of the poster's geographic location. 'œAccording to TikTok's branded content policy, the promotion of all financial services and products is now globally prohibited,' the FT Adviser article detailed. TikTok was a hotbed for Dogecoin hype in 2020, when users shared related videos in an effort to get more folks to jump on the bandwagon. Other social media sites have also hosted notable financial markets discussion in recent months, with stock discussions on Reddit becoming prominent as well. 'œMy interpretation of this is [TikTok] are clamping down on directly or indirectly sponsored content which leads to an affiliate link, for example to sign up to a trading platform and get free stocks,' Informed Choice's client education head, Martin Bamford, told FT Adviser, adding: 'œWe see a huge amount of this branded content on TikTok, usually from poorly informed commentators, who lure in followers with promises of riches, but in reality are making their money off people signing up via affiliate links." It is unclear as to whether TikTok's ban applies to all financial product discussions, or just those which are promotional in nature. '" https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-ads-no-longer-allowed-on-tiktok'œShitcoin' may no longer be solely a term used to describe altcoin projects with questionable value propositions, as one South Korean university professor has taken the term to a more literal dimension. Cho Jae-weon of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Ulsan, South Korea, has created an eco-friendly toilet system that produces fertilizer and energy from human excrement. Jae-weon, a professor of urban and environmental engineering, said the toilet system incorporates a vacuum pump that redirects human waste into an underground tank to produce biogas (methane). The professor's experiment is reportedly utilizing the biogas to power a university building, gas stoves and water heaters among other things. 'œIf we think outside of the box, feces has precious value to make energy and manure. I have put this value into ecological circulation,' the professor said. Jae-weon's experiment also has a digital currency component with a native token called Ggool, which is used to incentivize the adoption of the eco-friendly toilet. Students earn 10 Ggool per day if they use the toilet and use the digital money to buy coffee, bananas and even books on campus.

Die Diskussionen rund um Bitcoin, Ethereum und andere Kryptowährungen sind oft sehr emotional aufgeladen und hitzig. Ich bin ein Freund von sachlichen Diskussionen und Fakten, deshalb habe ich mir diese Woche vier Experten mit unterschiedlichen Meinungen eingeladen, um über Proof of Work (POW) vs. Proof of Stake (POS) zu diskutieren. Ermöglicht POS langfristig ein sicheres und wirklich dezentrales Netzwerk? Ist der Energieaufwand von POW ein Problem? Dazu haben Blocktrainer Roman, Markus Gufler, Holger Rohm und Patrick Lemke ihre Insights mit mir geteilt. Ich durfte viel lernen, ich hoffe, ihr auch!
In this podcast, ChainLinkGod and Crypto___Oracle explore the concept of cryptoeconomic security in decentralized computation networks, how it is applied to the Bitcoin Proof of Work (PoW) and Ethereum 2.0 Proof of Stake (PoS) networks, and the various technical nuances that make these networks operate at a global scale.
#22 - Proof-of-Work (PoW) vs Proof-of-Stake (PoS)Bem-vind@ ao HODLcast!Proof-of-Work (PoW) ou Proof-of-Stake (PoS)? Um dos dilemas mais comuns em blockchain, ocorre precisamente por estarmos a assistir a uma evolução tecnológica marcante. Neste vigésimo segundo episódio, optei por reiniciar a componente mais didática do HODL! e será assim durante os episódios seguintes. Mais do que comentar a atualidade, importa aprender e estudar os processos que nos fazem compreender e acreditar na tecnologia blockchain. Deste modo, neste episódio, foquei-me nas diferenças entre diferentes algoritmos de consenso e nas vantagens ou desvantagens de cada um. Existem modelos bem sucedidos com ambas as opções e é precisamente isso que vamos descobrir! Vamos a isto? :)WEBSITEhttps://www.hodlthebook.com/SOCIAL MEDIAFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/hodlthebook/Instagramhttps://instagram.com/hodlthebook/YouTubehttps://youtube.com/channel/UCt7o_HOLotD0hyKxzfHkUCASupport the show (https://www.hodlthebook.com)
Wealthy From Markets, Some Millennials Are Stressed. Many can't comprehend what their cash can buy them, even if it's real estate. The distress and indecision are causing a delay in securing gains and diversifying after making life-changing amount of money. Daymak Spiritus is a car that wants to help you mine cryptocurrency while it's parked. We'll see that ever come to fruition. Proof of Work (POW) is when a cryptocurrency is backed by its ability to complete a task such as verify a transaction without the risk of fraudulent and counterfeit activity via encryption. Proof of Stake (POS) is when a cryptocurrency platform or marketplace rewards owners of cryptocurrency to hold their cryptocurrency with them with the incentive of an interest rate. Usually, this interest rate is high because of the risk the owner of the cryptocurrency is taking on trusting a non-government back currency. Michael Burry still shorting TSLA is because of inflation. The revenue growth relative to Facebook and Google in tandem with inflation is going to be an unattractive investment and doesn't justify their current market cap based on projections. Big Oil's Tough Clean-Energy Transition. Desperate for relevancy and survival amidst a green movement, oil companies are scrambling to grow profits for shareholders and are beginning to adapt to the new global standard. Renewable energy is the undeniable future and will render archaic oil conglomerates irrelevant. This is why there is a monumental shift within the oil industry to invest in renewable, eco-friendly resources and companies for the next century. China Will Allow Couples to Have 3 Children, Up From 2. This is in part because of the large disparity between men and women. The communist party also indicated on Monday that it would improve maternity leave and workplace protections, pledging to make it easier for couples to have more children. But those protections are all but absent for single mothers in China, who despite the push for more children still lack access to benefits. The movement is guided by the rising aging population and the shrinking younger generation who must support the mature population of China and replace their workforce.

Ethereum will switch from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) likely already later this year in a much anticipated upgrade to Ethereum 2. The switch to PoS aims to make Ethereum both more secure and more sustainable by securing the network through Ether instead of mining. A second Eth2 update will address scaling through sharding at a later time.Danny Ryan, Researcher with Ethereum Foundation, has been a major driving force behind the Eth2 project. He joined us for a progress update and we chatted about how the protocol will work in its steady state, what has launched so far, what happens in The Merge, and how PoS will affect centralization tendencies.Topics covered in this episode:Danny's background and how he got into cryptoAn overview of Eth2 - Phase 0, Beacon ChainThe role of a validator and building blocksPenalties and rewards within the protocol including slashingWhat the epoch is and how it relates to finalityThe Proof-of-Stake mergeWhy Proof-of-Stake is favorable for security purposesWhat is the roadmap for sharding?Ethereum feesEpisode links:Ethereum CommunityEth R&D DiscordEthereum on GitHubEth ResearchEF on TwitterEF blogDanny on TwitterSponsors:Solana: Solana is the high performance blockchain supporting over 50k transactions per second to power the next generation of decentralized applications. - https://solana.com/epicenterExodus: Exodus the easy-to-use crypto wallet available on all platforms and supporting over 100 different assets. - https://exodus.com/epicenterParaSwap: ParaSwap’s state-of-the-art algorithm beats the market price across all major DEXs and brings you the most optimized swaps with the best prices, and lowest slippage - http://paraswap.io/epicenterThis episode is hosted by Friederike Ernst & Martin Köppelmann.

The purpose of this episode is to go over the fundamental concepts and terms associated with Bitcoin and its network. Click here to download a PDF version of this audio glossary. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend reading Saifedean Ammous's book The Bitcoin Standard and visiting his website for more learning tools. ---------- Bitcoin is a scarce, digital currency that is decentralized. Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the pseudonymous person or group that conceived of Bitcoin and released the White Paper introducing Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system on October 31, 2008 at the peak of the U.S. Great Financial Crisis. A Satoshi is a division of a Bitcoin. One bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis also known as sats. Stacking Sats refers to accumulating the smallest unit of a Bitcoin. Blockchain is the technology that enables Bitcoin. It is a shared, digital ledger of transactions distributed across the computer systems in the peer-to-peer network. A Full Node a computer in Bitcoin's network that hosts and synchronizes a copy of the entire blockchain ledger. Bitcoin Mining is the process of verifying blocks of Bitcoin transactions. It's also the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation. Proof of Work (PoW) is the algorithm that secures Bitcoin. Miners deploy extremely large amounts of computing power to solve very complex cryptographic puzzles. These computer systems compete with each other to be the first to solve the puzzle and be able to validate the new block for the blockchain. Miners must reach a consensus to confirm the puzzle was solved, then the block can be accepted and permanently recorded onto the blockchain ledger. Proof of Work ensures the security of the blockchain and complete decentralization of the process. It prevents attacks and double spending. No person, entity or country controls Bitcoin, instead Bitcoin is controlled by verifiable software systems and processes. When a miner solves a puzzle, and that work and those transactions are confirmed, the miner is paid a reward in new Bitcoins according to a schedule. Every four years, the amount of Bitcoin the miners receive for each block of transactions is reduced by 50%. These events are referred to the Halvings. The next halving will occur in 2024. Proof of Stake (PoS) is a different process of validating transactions on the blockchain. It based on validators who stake their own currency in the mining process. It's more energy efficient but it can lead to centralization, because people who have more coins to stake can verify more transactions. Digital Scarcity refers to the limited availability of a virtual good that cannot be easily copied or recreated. Bitcoin has a hard supply cap of 21 million coins that will ever be mined and because of decentralization that can never be changed no matter how high the price per Bitcoin goes. No person, entity or government can create new coins that will dilute the value of existing coins. Fiat refers to currency that is established as money or legal tender by government decree or regulation. More simply, fiat is government-issued money and almost all currencies around the world are fiat currencies. Fiat money gives central banks greater control over the economy because they control how much money is printed. Fiat money is 100% centralized because it is entirely controlled by governments. The printing of new money to finance government debt dilutes existing money saved and introduces inflation. A Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC is fiat money in the form of a digital coin. It is being considered or introduced by various Central Banks, including the US, China and Europe. Because it is digital it gives Central Banks new and powerful tools to monitor, tax, stimulate or influence society. As with today's fiat money, digital dollars, Yuan or Euros will be 100% centralized. Keynesian Economics is a school of thought that believes that government intervention in the form of increasing/decreasing the money supply can stabilize the economy. The theory advocates for government spending through public policies that aim to achieve full employment and price stability. Most Western Central Banks today practice Keynesian Economics and utilize increases to the money supply to theoretically smooth business cycles. Austrian Economics aligns more with Bitcoin philosophy and argues that government efforts to control the economic cycle invariably make it worse. Austrian economists believe that the less government interferes in free markets, the more soundly the economy grows. It argues the manipulation of money supply distorts the allocation of capital and causes boom bust cycles to be more frequent and severe. Michael Saylor is the CEO of MicroStrategy ($MSTR), the first publicly listed company to adopt the Bitcoin Standard and convert its entire treasury of capital into Bitcoin. MicroStrategy currently owns more than 90,000 Bitcoins. Saylor advocates for Bitcoin adoption by other institutions and helps guide CEOs and money managers through the process. A Bitcoin Maximalist is an individual who, like MicroStrategy, has adopted the Bitcoin Standard and converted their savings entirely into Bitcoin, shunning all other assets as a store of value. The Stock-to-Flow model is an econometric model discovered by Plan B, which predicts Bitcoin's price based on its scarcity, represented by the ratio of the existing supply of Bitcoin to how many new coins are being created. Because the supply of Bitcoin is absolute and reductions in the flow of new supply via the halvings are scheduled, the stock to flow ratio can be accurately predicted into the future. According to The Stock to Flow Model, the increasing price of Bitcoin since inception correlates strongly with the halving cycles and changes in the stock to flow ratio. The model predicts the likely price for Bitcoin after the last halving (2020) will reach approximately $100,000.
Bryan Chaffin and Dave Hamilton dive into the differences between Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies, and what that means in terms of energy consumption.
El proceso de staking consiste en adquirir criptomonedas y mantenerlas bloqueadas en una wallet con la finalidad de recibir ganancias o recompensas. Es un proceso muy parecido al HODL, solo que en stake los saldos están bloqueados y no puedes usarlos libremente. Al mismo tiempo que se contribuye con la operatividad y funcionamiento de la blockchain de esa misma criptomoneda. Como bien sabemos, la blockchain es la tecnología que permitió darle vida a las criptomonedas. Y cada criptomoneda cuenta con una blockchain propia para llevar sus registros de las transacciones efectuadas. Pero aunque sean blockchains diferentes, todas tienen una relación en común: las transacciones deben ser validadas en consenso. Para esto, cada blockchain adopta un protocolo de consenso, como el Bitcoin. Que emplea la Prueba de Trabajo (PoW) para la minería de bloques. Un proceso que demanda un gran poder de cómputo y por ende, consume mucha electricidad. Pero otras criptomonedas, como NEO, Stellar, Algorand (y muy pronto Ethereum) utilizan otro mecanismo, conocido como Prueba de Participación o Proof of Stake (PoS). 🎓 Artículo de Academy de ¿Qué es y cómo funciona el STAKING?: https://academy.bit2me.com/que-es-sta... 🚀 Suscríbete a nuestro Canal: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBiA... #Staking #Blockchain #Criptomonedas #Bitcoin 🎁 *¡Has descubierto un regalo!* Si estás aquí, aprendiendo, te mereces nuestro regalo especial: Regístrate en Bit2Me con este enlace y en tu primera compra de 100€ o más te regalaremos 5€: https://bit2me.com/es/registro?r=CR5-... *¡La revolución la creamos entre todos!* 📲¡Descárgate la APP! https://bit2me.com/download Compra y vende Bitcoin , Ethereum , Litecoin , Dash, Bitcoin Cash , Ripple y otras criptomonedas .

Ethereum es una de las blockchain más importantes del mundo de las criptomonedas y la responsable de muchas de las revolucionarias tecnologías que buscan transformar el mundo tal como lo conocemos. ¿Qué es Ethereum? La criptomoneda Ethereum, es uno de los proyecto de criptomoneda más grande la industria de las criptomonedas. Ethereum en sí mismo es una plataforma digital que se basa en la tecnología blockchain o cadena de bloques. Su objetivo es convertirse en una blockchain capaz de ejecutar aplicaciones descentralizadas. Para lograr esto, este proyecto cuenta con una blockchain y una criptomoneda con características únicas. Entre ellas la capacidad de usar y crear smart contract y nuevos tokens. Ambas son poderosas funcionalidades, que permiten que se erija como una de las blockchain más completas y poderosas del criptomundo. La moneda de la red se denomina Ether (ETH), y al igual que Bitcoin (BTC), el Ether se caracteriza por ser una criptomoneda que puede ser usada como método de pago entre pares. Otra de las semejanzas con Bitcoin y otras criptomonedas es que no está controlada por ningún gobierno u organismo regulador. Su desarrollo está marcado por la Ethereum Foundation, su Core Team y la comunidad que soporta y apoya. Otro punto importante, es que utiliza el protocolo de consenso Proof-of-Work (PoW), usando el algoritmo Ethash. Aunque esto puede cambiar en el corto plazo con el lanzamiento de Ethereum 2.0 y el salto a ser una criptomoneda usando el protocolo Proof of Stake (PoS). 🎓 Artículo de Academy de ¿Qué es Ethereum (ETH)? : https://academy.bit2me.com/que-es-eth... 🚀 Suscríbete a nuestro Canal: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBiA... #Ethereum #GAS #Blockchain #Criptomonedas 🎁 *¡Has descubierto un regalo!* Si estás aquí, aprendiendo, te mereces nuestro regalo especial: Regístrate en Bit2Me con este enlace y en tu primera compra de 100€ o más te regalaremos 5€: https://bit2me.com/es/registro?r=CR5-... *¡La revolución la creamos entre todos!* 📲¡Descárgate la APP! https://bit2me.com/download Compra y vende Bitcoin , Ethereum , Litecoin , Dash, Bitcoin Cash , Ripple y otras criptomonedas .

Akin from Decred joins us on Base Layer for a great overview of the project. Decred forked from the Bitcoin codebase when a proposal for new suite of features to be added to Bitcoin from Company 0 was rejected by the Bitcoin core team. Named btcsuite, these features became the core of the Decred project. Decred’s governance and consensus mechanism relies on a PoW/Proof-of-Stake (PoS) hybrid, which the project regards as a sort of “second authentication factor for consensus” by enabling coin holders to curb potential miner centralization, Decred employs a governance body called the Politeia to guide the project’s direction and fund operations from its treasury. We learn all about their special governance mechanisms and why people are talking about Decred.
Derek Sorensen, Pyrofex Research Mathematician Derek Sorensen is a Pyrofex Research Mathematician, has an MSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Oxford and is set to start his PhD this fall at the University of Cambridge, where he will study logic and topology. "I'm a motivated mathematician who wants to solve new and exciting problems. I thrive in a challenging and changing environment, as a boring routine can seem a bit soul-sucking to me. I have learned programming languages, software programs, organizational structures and spoken languages in the past to solve problems and am willing to learn about anything to address new and changing circumstances I'm placed in. Challenges are exciting to me and I'm always looking for something bigger and better to sink my teeth into." Source On this episode of LAB Radio, Aaron Mangal asked Derek all kinds of deep math questions like: What are proofs and algorithms? What are they for? What are some non-crypto use cases and of course what are the Crypto uses? Who is Pyrofex? A Utah-based Blockchain Startup Founded by ex-Googlers As stated on their website: "Pyrofex Corporation is Utah Valley’s first blockchain and cryptocurrency startup. Founded in the Spring of 2016 by ex-Googlers Mike Stay and Nash Foster, Pyrofex works hard to create the next generation of blockchain platforms, applications, and development tools. With its headquarters in the Riverwoods area of Provo, UT, Pyrofex has grown from a pair of co-founders to a team of around two dozen professionals. Our focus is on reliably delivering high-quality work and our reputation bears that out. Pyrofex was founded by mathematicians and computer scientists who wanted to build an engineering first company. One that hires special talent, gives them difficult and interesting work, and the tools and support to succeed." CDelta is a Blockchain built on their custom-made protocol, Cassanova CDelta is a proof of stake based Blockchain focused on high speed transactions and throughput for financial transactions. They custom built Cassanova, a leaderless optimistic pre-Nakamoto consensus protocol which is what CDelta runs on. "Pyrofex introduces Casanova, a leaderless optimistic consensus protocol designed for use in the blockchain contexts. Casanova produces blocks in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) rather than in a chain and combines voting rounds with block production by singling out conflicting transactions. C∆’s physical network achieves unparalleled performance by mirroring the shape of the Internet itself. Using a tiered network architecture, local validators connect to backbone validators with guaranteed priority bandwidth. Using this architecture, C∆ ensures the fastest block propagation and the lowest transaction confirmation latencies. C∆ is unique among blockchains. Most blockchains are stuck finding a total ordering of all the world’s transactions. This process is very slow because every block requires an expensive consensus-finding protocol. Using Casanova and a simple UTXO transaction model, the C∆ blockchain eliminates this work and finalizes most transactions immediately. Only when a user attempts to double-spend does C∆ perform expensive and slow consensus finding. As a result of this innovation, C∆ confirms most transactions at wire speed. An attacker can only make his own transactions slower, but cannot materially affect the throughput of the rest of the network."

Bitcoin (BTC) is continuing to hover near $5,000, and since Bitcoin (BTC) dropped since yesterday the crypto market is generally in the red this morning. The Mayer Multiple (MM), which is a ratio of Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to the 200 day moving average, has moved above 1.0, which in the past has been an indicator that a bear market is ending. Bitcoin SV (BSV) is continuing to plummet following the Twitter battle between Bitcoin SV (BSV) Founder Craig Wright and Lightning Torch Founder Hodlonaut. Binance and ShapeShift have delisted Bitcoin SV (BSV), and Kraken is also threatening to delist. Binance has announced another quarterly Binance Coin (BNB) burn, but it has had no effect on the market today. This is probably due to Binance burning coins that are not actually in circulation. Coinbase and Binance are offering a new Proof of Stake (PoS) service where users can hold PoS coins and earn from mining. Since both these exchanges have selected Tezos (XTZ) for their PoS service, Tezos (XTZ) has rallied over 170% since the beginning of March. Hear about Satoshi’s Treasure, which is a treasure hunt where users download clues from the Blockstream Satellites and find Bitcoin (BTC) private keys hidden in physical locations. Whoever finds 400 out of 1,000 keys wins $1 million of Bitcoin (BTC). We discuss how LedgerX is trying to launch physical Bitcoin (BTC) futures in the United States, but how this may prove difficult due to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) has finally broken through the $4,000 resistance level, and now all eyes are on the $4,200 long term resistance level. Tezos (XTZ) has rallied 19 percent following Coinbase’s announcement that they are launching an institutional staking service, and Tezos (XTZ) is the first Proof of Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency to be offered by this service. Bitmain’s Jihan Wu is beating the war drum by saying that ASICs will likely be created for the supposedly ASIC resistant algorithms ProgPoW and Cuckoo Cycle. Jihan Wu also discussed how Ethereum (ETH) is wrong for trying to ban ASICs, and argues that ASICs are a decentralizing force. Also, Bitmain is aiming to release 7 nm chips by the end of the year, in time for the May 2020 block halving. We discuss how Craig Wright and his firm nChain are trying to get as much blockchain patents as possible, and are hiring a lawyer to defend their patents.
The Ethereum Hard Fork is Delayed – But What does it all Mean? The core developers of Ethereum have called for a delay in the activation of Constantinople, just hours before the long-awaited hard fork was scheduled to go live for Ethereum, who are the third-largest cryptocurrency in the marketplace. The fork had been scheduled to go live at block 7080000 on January 16, but the last block processed by the network at the time of broadcast was 7075654. The reason they decided to postpone the hard fork was that security researchers identified a potential vulnerability in one of the software upgrades. They stated in a public release that security researchers, namely ChainSecurity and TrailOfBits, are running an analysis across the entire blockchain, and although they did not find any further cases of this vulnerability, there is still a non-zero risk that some contracts could be affected. And it is because the risk is non-zero, a decision was reached to postpone the fork. That simple. But what is a Hard Fork and what the heck does Constantinople have anything to do with it? What is going on here? A fork is a change to a blockchain protocol and there are two types - a soft fork and a hard fork. Soft forks are backward-compatible, meaning that nodes within a network can still recognize newly coded blocks implemented by the soft fork. A hard fork, on the other hand, is not backward-compatible and newly created blocks cannot be recognized by the network’s native nodes, meaning a new network will have to be created to cater to new blocks using an updated protocol. A prime example of a hard fork is the creation of Bitcoin Cash in the wake of the Bitcoin hard fork of 2017. Please listen to Crypto and Blockchain Talk Episode31 to learn more about the Bitcoin fork. The main goal of the Constantinople fork is to ease the future transition of Ethereum from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), making savings on costs and increasing the efficiency of the network.

With Proof-of-Stake (PoS) a blockchain is secured not by spending an external resource such as electricity but by using value internal to the chain itself. The promise of higher security at a lower cost is what also drives Ethereum to plan a move away from Proof-of-Work to PoS in the future. Ethereum researcher Vlad Zamfir, who leads their effort in the complex search for the optimal PoS consensus system joined us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges of PoS, the approach Casper is taking and what consensus in Ethereum land could look like in the future. Topics covered in this episode: How he became interested in consensus and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Why Ethereum plans to switch to the PoS systems Casper in the future What the Long-Range Attack and Nothing-at-Stake problems are and how Casper addresses them How a betting mechanism is used to get validators to reach consensus What centralization pressures exist for validators and what operating a validator will look like The role of security deposits in Casper The difference between Tendermint and Casper Whether forks create big UI/UX issues for Casper Why Casper is very light client friendly Episode links: Introducing Casper - Ethereum Blog Review of Casper, Ethereum’s proposed Proof of Stake Algorithm Casper Protocol Specification Slasher, Ghost and Other Developments in Proof-of-Stake Epicenter Bitcoin Episode 58 with Vitalik Buterin on Proof-of-Stake This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain.
