The Blockchain Bar Chapter 15 is released! 🍾

Check your inboxes!

Everyone who purchased the eBook is now getting a new bonus chapter with 30 extra pages on forks and consensus.

I hope you didn't make plans for weekend. Time to practice some blockchain programming in #golang! Image
Very handy feature @gumroad - I didn't know I can directly send an email to the customers so they download the new eBook version! Image
@gumroad The fork is scheduled for block number 35! Image
@gumroad You learn:
- why a fork happens
- how to plan a consensus fork
- how Ethereum Improvement Proposals work and you will practice by implementing "The Blockchain Bar Improvement Proposal (TIP) 1" requiring each TX to have 2 new attributes: Gas + GasPrice
@gumroad The fork block 35 contains 1 TX with Gas: 21 and GasPrice: 1 and is currently being mined.

The Proof of Work is getting a bit unlucky. It's taking an unusual amount of computations to mine this block:

99M hashes and growing (usually few M is enough). Dramatic effect: Image
@gumroad The Blockchain Bar successfully forked at block 35 after 121M hashes.

The block contained 1 TX with Gas: 21 and GasPrice: 1.

FORKED! Without breaking consensus haha 🥳 Image

Ethereum <> Solana 🧵on technical differences.

Disclaimer: Ethereum is unmatched and irreplaceable because of its innovative community with SKILLS, EXPERIENCE, STABILITY, MOMENTUM.

This thread is from a programming, protocol curiosity so we all grow by learning new concepts.
1. Positioning

Yes. Solana is positioning as a direct Ethereum competitor. It refers to other blockchains as "legacy chains".

It arguments that gas costs $ are unacceptable, and that 15 mins block times are too slow.

Solana claims:
- fees: $0.01
- block time: 400 milliseconds
2. Solana brings new technology to the table and that's admirable.

Majority of "Ethereum killers" are basically go-ethereum forks with swapped consensus (usually PoW is replaced by PoA).

Sol architecture is very different and from a quick research... it seems pretty smart 👇
