Grin Mimblewimble


MimbleWimble with Andrew Poelstra
Nov, 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHTRlbCaUyM
Andrew Poelstra from Blockstream discussed MimbleWimble. "MimbleWimble is a blockchain design with no script support and blinded amounts. Like proverbial black holes, transaction outputs have no hair. This simplicity allows aggressive compaction and aggregation, resulting in a blockchain with much better scalability than any other design to date."

Position Paper
https://docs.beam.mw/BEAM_Position_Paper_v0.2.2.pdf

BEAM is a next generation confidential cryptocurrency based on an elegant and innovative Mimblewimble protocol. Things that make BEAM special include: • Users have complete control over privacy - a user decides which information will be available and to which parties, having complete control over his personal data in accordance to his will and applicable laws. • Confidentiality without penalty - in BEAM confidential transactions do not cause bloating of the blockchain, avoiding excessive computational overhead or penalty on performance or scalability while completely concealing the transaction value. • No trusted setup required. • Blocks are mined using Equihash Proof-of-Work algorithm. • Limited emission using periodic halving with total amount of coins ~250 million. • No addresses are stored in the blockchain - no information whatsoever about either the sender or the receiver of a transaction is stored in the blockchain. • Superior scalability through compact blockchain size - using the “cut-through” feature of Mimblewimble makes the BEAM blockchain orders of magnitude smaller than any other blockchain implementation. • BEAM supports many transaction types such as escrow transactions, time locked transactions, atomic swaps and more. • No premine. No ICO. Backed by a treasury, emitted from every block during the first five years • Implemented from scratch in C++ by a team of professional developers.

Bitcoin Q&A: MimbleWimble and Dandelion, Andreas M. Antonopoulos
aantonop
Sep 2018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjDJGTpK_lE

What is the story behind MimbleWimble? What is Grin? What is a Dandelion transaction relay, as described in BIP156, and how does it improve the anonymity of the Bitcoin network? CLARIFICATION/ CORRECTION: At 1:14, I talk the origins of MimbleWimble. The PDF was submitted to the Bitcoin research IRC channel on August 2nd, 2016. The pseudonymous author used the name "Tom Elvis Jedusor," which is the French version of Voldemort's real name. I also say that the name "MimbleWimble" was referencing the name of a spell from Harry Potter, which is the Tongue-Tying Curse and prevents someone from speaking about (not "seeing") something: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Ton... At 6:08, I was unable to list the names of the team members behind the Dandelion proposal. They are Giulia Fanti, Shaileshh Bojja Venkatakrishnan, Surya Bakshi, Bradley Denby, Shruti Bhargava, Andrew Miller and Pramod Viswanath (researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and the University of Illinois).

ZK0x02 - MimbleWimble implementation in BEAM - Vladislav Gelfer (Beam)
https://youtu.be/EX9jQg9tuQc
MimbleWimble is a very capable protocol, which, after being published by an anonymous cryptographer 2 years ago, drew a lot of attention. In this talk Vladislav discusses MimbleWimble in-depth, argue why it's a sane payment system and how capable it is, and what can be built on top of it. With all that said, to build a truly anonymous payment system there are many important design decisions, and challenges are yet to be solved. The Zero Knowledge Summit - ZK0x02 - happened in Berlin on Sept 5 2018 as part of Blockchain Week Berlin. This event was produced by the Zero Knowledge Podcast (zeroknowledge.fm) and focused on zero knowledge topics, latest zkSNARK applications and privacy. The full program could be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Project Lumini by BEAM and @elpinguinofrio is also fascinating. It connects BEAM to ETH and ETH-based tokens can be represented as confidential assets. 
This feature would be very interesting and beneficial because the current stablecoins don't have privacy.

Coda Consensus Protocol



Coda Consensus Protocol

 Coda: Decentralized cryptocurrency at scale 
Izaak Meckler1 and Evan Shapiro
O(1) Labs May 10, 2018

Abstract

 We present Coda, the first cryptocurrency protocol that remains decentralized at scale. “Scalability” refers to Coda’s ability to handle throughput of thousands of transactions per second. “Decentralization” refers to the accessibility of verifying the chain state and synchronizing as a new user. Synchronizing the chain state with Coda requires receiving less than a megabyte of data, allowing devices like smartphones to securely perform transactions independent of how long the protocol has been running or how many transactions have been performed. Transactions on Coda can also be verified independent of their complexity, allowing complex computations on its blockchain without burdening the network. Coda achieves these features without sacrificing either scaling or decentralization through the use of recursive composition of zk-SNARKs in a novel architecture that implements a decentralized ledger. The resulting consensus protocol is consistent and responsive as long as at most 1/2 of the mining power is malicious.

Coda is a new cryptocurrency protocol with a lightweight, constant sized blockchain.
Please see our developer README if you are interested in building coda from source code.

One of the earliest pioneers in the cryptocurrencies space explores where this journey might take us next.

Hashing It Out #23: Avalanche – Emin Gün Sirer
https://thebitcoinpodcast.com/hashing-it-out-23/

On this episode we have the brilliant Dr. Gün Sirer to whet our appetites for Avalanche, a new category of consensus protocol. He distinguishes Avalanche from Paxos/RAFT systems, blockchain, and traditional gossip networks to show how this new algorithm prevents double spends while allowing for high throughput (early tests supporting over 1200 tx/s). We learn about his new coin, Ava, which will test the limits of Avalanche’s public consensus on a global scale! The future is exciting!

IoT sensors

SUPPLY CHAIN TO BLOCKCHAIN

Harvest Network consists of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that build a mesh network for managing supply chain. Utilizing ERC-721 tokens for assets, now all participants of the supply chain can view and analyze the data of their supply chain. With hand-held devices like cellphones, IoT scanners, and printers installed at farms and processing facilities the entire process from start to finish is turned into data and economically stored on the blockchain.
IoT Sensors custom installed
With automated sensors built into the workflow of the facility, tracking has never been easier. Using the Harvest Network Web portal allows for streamlined data analytics over the entire process.
Created and deployed on our Smart Contract Platform
Assets are tracked with our IoT sensors from the very beginning of their lifecycle. As assets move between entities and processing facilities, our Smart Contract network manages and displays the whole history of the asset.
Consumer End Management
Harvest Network Smart Contract systems works with the web portal and consumer phone app, meaning now consumers can see the data on their product in store! Manage recalls with a touch of a button using our recall alert function. Track data on what products consumers like the most.
ERC-721 assets that can be fully customized
Assets are stored as ERC-721 Non-Fungible tokens, this means any data can be attached and securely stored to a single asset or a whole batch. Entire truckloads can be transferred between owners, or updated with pictures. All the data is customized to your needs while upholding GS1 and PTI standards.

SMART CONTRACT DESIGN

Harvest Network provides traceability and complete data management via their unique Ethereum Smart Contract system. Utilizing the safest standards for production Harvest Network has a multi-level management system to track, update, display and analyze data on your products. All hosted on the Ethereum Blockchain.
Immutable ledger meets traceability
Using the Ethereum blockchain allows for all the data stored on the smart contract system to be accessed and viewed anywhere in the world, without fear of being hacked. Now customers in Japan can see where the California Orange was grown, how it was handled, what went into production, etc.
Stand alone or fully integrated
Harvest Network's systems are so robust they can be used as stand alone solutions for traceability on smaller production sites and farms, or fully integrated to work with the software already used in the largest production houses in the country.
Transparent data analytics
Allowing users and facilities to see the data that is relevant to them. Using the ethereum blockchain for premissioned views - the control is in the hands of the farmer.

WEB PORTAL AND PHONE APP

Web Portal for GS1 Traceability and Data Analytics

Harvest Network's web portal is the perfect solution for easy integration into your current workflow. Custom integration at your facility means we can work with all systems that are already in place. Our easy web interface allows user managements to log in from anywhere in the world and access your data. Interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain has never been easier.

I worked on the the back-end API for BlockAero which uses a microservices architecture and was written in Bash and Python. The API takes an image or PDF as an input, and uses machine learning and neural networks for classification, and uses OCR and text parsing to return relevant data from the page.

I worked on:
- image processing in OpenCV
- optimising OCR output from Tesseract by adjusting parameters as well as image preprocessing techniques
- using machine learning to classify data
- creating/adjusting some of the microservices
- text parsing to extract relevant data from the page and to account for small errors in the OCR process
