TBP Announcements: XYO Network Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

Today we talk with Markus Leven from the XYO Network. The XYO Network, The World’s First Location-based Decentralized Oracle. Since its founding in 2012, the company behind the XYO Network (XY OracleNetwork) has been steadily building a location network. The XYO Network makes it possible for smart contracts to plug into the real world by calling XY's network of devices to determine if an object is at a specific XY-coordinate at a given time. If the object’s location is confirmed, the smart contract is executed. The use-cases and profound impact of such a technology are infinite. With over 1 million location-verifying beacons already built, and hundreds of thousands ready to be enabled, blockchain's first crypto-location oracle network has arrived. Our mission is to enable smart contracts to interact with the real world as if it were an API. Join us in decentralizing location-reliant trade markets. Enjoy! Link: https://xyo.network/

Show notes

Hey, it's another episode. This week Cello gets fired up about the #Buidl hashtag and questions why price is a 'distraction'. Corey and Dee think the price IS a distraction, so we bunt heads. Or is it butt heads? I just Googled it, and it turns out the proper term is head bunting. Which most of us have been mistakenly referring to as head butting, is a way for cats to exchange scents so that everyone in their environment—their colony—smells the same. Interesting. Special guest all the way from Brazil, Mr. Felipe Sant Ana Pereira - Co Founder - Paratii! Currently he is building a decentralized alternative to legacy VoD and advising a digital currency thesis-driven fund with public liquidity.

Hashing It Out #12: Full Casper Chain v2 - Casper + Sharding Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

A set of notes were just released for a revised version of the Casper protocol which merges its goals with sharding research. It uses a beacon chain to behave as a source of randomness with the RANDAO being central to that chain. This enables a commitee of validators to be selected for validating individual shards rather than the entire chain and sign it using BLS signatures. Corey Petty and Collin Cusce discuss these notes and try to suss out what this means for Ethereum if it were implemented. https://notes.ethereum.org/SCIg8AH5SA-O4C1G1LYZHQ?view#Beacon-chain-state-transition-function https://github.com/randao/randao https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.09437.pdf
