- 1. Demystifying Blockchains Henning Diedrich & Vlad Zamfir Blockchain Workshops London 2015
- 2. Bitcoin and the blockchain power hype reality
- 3. Bitcoins innovations blockchains economic consensus
- 4. Projects Bitcoin Ripple Stellar Hyperledger Ethereum Eris Tendermint
- 5. What is Consensus? Consensus protocols are used to make ONE reliable computer out of many unreliable or untrusted computers
- 6. What is Consensus? They are used in real-life applications processors databases flying cars
- 7. Traditional Consensus Protocols Clients in these protocols only change their state when a supermajority approves of the changes, or elects a leader who proposes the changes tc
- 8. Traditional Consensus Protocols tc Coordinate on changes to the state Changes are never reverted They just stop if too many nodes go offline
- 9. Blockchains are consensus protocols that come to consensus through compromise Fork-choice rule What is a blockchain? BC
- 10. Why a blockchain? They are available in the event of network partitions Blockchains are more decentralized than traditional consensus protocols BC
- 11. Maintain a shared, trusted computer even though we dont trust each other because we know that screwing it up would cost us a lot of money. - The Joker What is Economic Consensus? eeconomic
- 12. Public consensus Guarantees correctness even for private consensus trustless Maintain a shared, trusted computer even though we dont trust each other because we know that screwing it up would cost us a lot of money. - The Joker Why Economic Consensus? eeconomic
- 13. How do we make faults expensive? Proof-of-work Make changing the state expensive Proof-of-stake Use security deposits to punish nodes who propose competing updates to the consensus eeconomic
