1/4 Hey @IOHK_Charles good Sunday! In the #CardanoCommunity we have amazing developers, and also many professionals from different careers and with diverse skills.
2/4 For example Dr Michael Liesenfelt @DrLiesenfelt is a PhD, Nuclear Engineering and has calculated the k-effective which is the “average resulting decentralization” or "effective decentralization" taking into account groups or entities of stake pools.
3/4 One group could be running multiple stake pools, which lowers the realistic, effective decentralization.
Have you read Dr Michael Liesenfelt's CIP-50?
4/4 This CIP provides the justification, methods, metrics, and implementation for an improvement program to increase decentralization of the Cardano network. github.com/michael-liesen…
Can we debate the issue? It's Voltaire time. Thanks!
1/6 Time management in the blockchain #Cardano according to Ouroboros 🧵
2/6 The network parameters are set such that the granularity of the observable time intervals ( eg, block time ) in the chain is 20s, which is equal to the slot length ( 1s ) divided by the block coefficient f ( the expected block frequency, 0.05 ).
3/6 These parameters are unlikely to change in the near-term future.
1/7 Do you know the next #Cardano hard fork? Do you know what things will evolve?
The mainnet update is tentatively proposed for February 14, 2023 21:44:51 UTC., at the start of epoch 394.
2/7 Cryptography ensures trust and security in blockchain settings and different blockchains use different cryptographic signature methods.
3/7 Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Schnorr signatures are two popular signature schemes used on Bitcoin and Ethereum, among other cryptographic systems.
1/6 A few tweets accusing me of FUD and trolling over my criticisms of the $Djed release, substantiated with data.
2/6 I explained the protocol in a 2-part article and then posted 2 articles with criticisms about launching that can be verified, without having been refuted with data, and only with narrative.
No need for me to say more on this topic. Time will judge.
3/6 I leave my 4 articles in reading order for those who are interested in reading them.
1/4 How could a government reduce its public debt in a short period of time?
2/4 If the government decided to issue a CBDC, replacing your traditional fiat money, in a ratio of, say, 1 CBDC : $5 fiat, it would be covertly devaluing your currency, and hurting creditors, since the debt generated in fiat currency would be paid with a new best valued…
3/4 …electronic emission, by themselves, the State, the debtor..
This is just one example of what I think will happen. Part of the Great Reset.
How to protect yourself?
1/10 It will never be my intention to create FUD or FOMO, neither in our #CardanoCommunity or any other.
I always seek the truth, with constructive criticism to evolve.
The polite does not take away the brave.
2/10 I believe the protocol of Djed #Cardano stablecoin is one of the most robust, if not the most robust in the crypto industry, of the ones I have researched, but I have these doubts about Djed's release:
3/10 —1. COTI will be the only platform to launch $Djed, which was handpicked by IOHK. Would anyone else be able to run the stablecoin protocol? Yes, but 👇
—2. They state that the protocol is open source but I have not seen it published on GitHub (or any other repository).
1/3 It is because of issues like this (among others) that I decided not to become an Ambassador for the @Cardano_CF
I prefer to be independent. I cannot decide the direction of an organization, but I can decide the direction of my life.
