Cornell professor Emin Gun Sirer will unveil, for the first time in Europe, a new family of consensus protocols that combines the best of Nakamoto consensus with the best of classical consensus. 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!

I approach much of my design thinking in a similar manner as my coaching; prescribe appropriate frameworks to elicit a response, always look for opportunities of improvement, and be ready to adapt the toolkit to novel problems.

At Stack Overflow, I was tapped to lead our product team using design sprints to explore broad new concepts. We are specifically interested in helping developers grow by providing new ways for them to participate and connect on our platform.

ZCASH

zcash2.0 protocol

https://z.cash/upgrade/sapling/
Sapling is a network upgrade that introduces significant efficiency improvements for shielded transactions that will pave the way for broad mobile, exchange and vendor adoption of Zcash shielded addresses.
Improvements

Performance for shielded addresses

Payments involving the new Sapling z-addresses can be constructed in as little as a few seconds and with only 40 megabytes of memory.

Decoupled spend authority

Allows the hardware that constructs the zero-knowledge proof to be independent from the hardware that signs for the transaction.

Improved keys

Full viewing keys allow owners of shielded addresses the ability to view incoming and outgoing transaction details without exposing their private spending key.
