I was impressed with how Other Worlds Film Festival used gather as a virtual hang-out back in December 2020. It’s a sci-fi film festifval, so having a virtual space ship as the hang-out felt natural (or at least, the closest you’d get to natural for a film fest during COVID-19). They hid a bunch of easter eggs throughout the map too. The early 2000s runescape (edit: more like Habbo Hotel) feel of the graphics and motion control was surprisingly refreshing as well.

I tried to read the whitepaper a while back, correct me if I’m wrong here:
Another thing I’m curious about:
I was like 99.9999% sure this project was a scam when I looked at the paper, it tries so hard to obfuscate how it works and the ratio of claims to explanations is very bad. Seeing it here on lobsters is very surprising to me.
I can’t comment on the project directly but I’ve met one of the people involved in it socially not knowing we both worked in tech and later briefly discussed Stellar. I don’t believe it’s a scam or that they would have anything to do with it if it were.
A scam in the sense of whether they are actually a byzantine fault tolerant decentralized system in the first place (something they claim to be).
The paper does not feel clear but rather obfuscated. The questions I asked are pretty important prerequisites for deciding if you want to throw your lot in with these people, whatever people think of blockchains, it is pretty clear that byzantine fault tolerance is an important property that is desirable in any political / economic system. Exploring how it can be achieved is a worthwhile research. However due to the perverse incentives there’s all sorts of outrageous claims.
Another problem that would be desirable to avoid is the tragedy of the commons (the cause of climate change), which proof of stake is vulnerable to (as well as at least a large class of voting protocols, if not all), but the exploit would require co-ordination that seems to be implausible with current social networking technology (however I believe that the exploit would come in the form of something not vulnerable to tragedy of the commons, though I have yet to prove that).
I am not saying this because I am fond of proof of work, quite the opposite, the environmental consequences mean we should be trying to find a better solution. However we should be truthful in that pursuit and respect mathematical facts (like PoS being vulnerable to ToC) - they have a tendency to predict the future.
I think they misrepresent achieving the same distributed consensus projects like bitcoin do. Its ultimately obfuscated federated control.
That said I think many blockchain projects are scams in that they misrepresent distributed consensus being the solution to problems when it really isn’t.
@ilmu Great questions, thanks!
The old Stellar network that launched in 2014 was using software (
stellard
) that was a modified fork of the Ripple node software (rippled
). In 2015 the current Stellar network was launched with a new consensus model (SCP) and newstellar-core
software that was written fresh. There are some blog posts about the network upgrade that go into more detail: 1, 2.For details about how the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) works, I recommend these resources. The video talks about how the voting works.
Thank you for answering, I just saw that you did due to the reply feature being back, I looked at these resources a bit (not through it yet) and it looks like the path you have chosen is interesting (to me at least, the model I am trying to figure out is similar in direction to yours). However I don’t think you can claim byzantine fault tolerance as-is.

Position(s): Software Engineers, Managers, Data folks of all types

Frees up your CFO of finance team to tackle more important problems. Businesses that run efficiently last longer and have happier employees.
Engineering team is about 20 people: large enough that we have teams, not large enough that you don’t learn everyone’s name. We’ve got plenty of funding and big plans after a promising two years of delivery. Founders have exited successfully before, and wrote a sincere thank you to team who brought them there. I’m a bit of a cynical bastard and have a hard time trusting founders (easy to get burned! a lot of bravado and showmanship) so I’m extremely grateful to have joined this group, which is committed to winning this race the old-fashioned way: it starts with making a great product that solves a real problem!
Tech stack:
One set of services: Python (Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery on RabbitMQ) & Postgres
Another set of services: Elixir (Pheonix, Ecto) & Postgres
Infra/DevOps: A ton of AWS services (Fargate, CodePipeline, CloudWatch) managed with Terraform, DataDog for a ton of logging, monitoring, and observability.
