​

This is the third annual ZKProof Workshop it will be held April 20th through May 21st, if you are interested in joining the workshop to see the thought leaders in the cryptocurrency space discussing zero knowledge protocols and cryptography, you can sign up to attend digitally.

I was curious I just listened to a podcast called let's talk Bitcoin and they interviewed Bram Cohen. I'm not highly technical but was curious he said proof of stake wasn't a legit way of consensus. He also said his was way better, so I was curious if anyone had seen this and if they could refute his claims. Thanks btw I'm a huge cardano fan and was trying to to see if what he was saying was bullshit.

Head over to r/TheCardanoEffect or click the link below if you would like to leave questions for Aparna to be asked on the podcast. Thanks!

I am very unfamiliar with what dictates a coin being a security token vs a utility token. What would ADA be categorized as?

Thx in advance for this awesome communities wisdom!

To answer Charles' call for stake pool operators' introduction videos, here's ours.

Meet our three team members, and discover what makes us a unique stake pool (hint, Azure dev on staff, globle footprint, and stunning good looks ;), why we have a solid platform, founded on a geographically distributed Microsoft Azure cloud platform, and why you should delegate to us.

I'm hoping to get some guidance from those of you who really know your Cardano tech?

I'm a small business owner and in the future, I want to offer Cardano accounts to all of my customers.

Will Cardano offer me the option to create my own tokens to use on the Cardano blockchain?

If not, which blockchain should I pivot to that would offer me the capability to create my own token that I could give to my customers?

I don't have any need or the knowledge to create and operate my own blockchain. I want to use an existing product that would allow me to create and customize a sidechain or childchain or private token and I love what Cardano is achieving so far.

I'd love to hear the Cardano community's feedback on how I could accomplish my goal.

Thank you in advance.

It's a bit late, I realize, but I'm just now going through the process of learning how to set up a stake pool. However, I'm being blocked quite early in the process.

I'm directed by this page:

to this page:

However, the ITN version link on that page leads to a github 404 not found:

Is this just a glitch or does this represent the fact that it is no longer possible to start up a new stake pool?

i dont think there should be "trusted peers" i though the motto of crypto was "dont trust, verify" and how do you verify a humans choices if your trusting your peers?

its bad for the network. its bad for the network because now you're introducing non-mathematical trust into the system. the protocol is designed to connect you to random peers for a reason, its so that nobody knows whos connected to who, so you cant be stopped from propagating your blocks. you do not want to rely on another person for your node to propagate its blocks. you want the unbiased mathematics of the protocol to make it happen for you.

isn't the whole point of a decentralized network that you're not relying on any single person or group of people for your connection? if you have a group of "prefered peers" now your centralizing the source of your network connections. bad idea. whoever those peers are now have the ability to prevent you from propagating your slots if they chose to block you from the peer group.

if you want a truly decentralized network, nobody should have "prefered" peers (even your own nodes). it should be random and if those random nodes suck, that's part of random, you just have to take that chance. that's what makes the network work, a mix of reliable and unreliable randomly selected peers.

i understand the "were all in this together" mentality, but when real money is one the line, there will be no incentive for me to help you get your slots. think about it, if your "trusted peers" block you or work to actively to prevent your slots from being made you'll lose delegators and others will gain them (ie, incentive to screw you).

so i propose that if you want to have trusted peers you should have to pay for them. there needs to be an incentive to not cheat the person who trust you to connect them to the network. perhaps if you have trusted peers and you successfully make your slot, the nodes that helped propagate the slot successfully get a percent of the pool tax (or rewards, whatever).
