I'm thrilled to announce that #Polkadot has once again made its mark in the academic world. Our paper, "Approval-Based Committee Voting in Practice: A Case Study of (over-)Representation in the Polkadot Blockchain," has been accepted by @RealAAAI, a premier scientific society.

The third wave of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy is happening now in Berkeley, California 🎓

The Academy is producing a new wave of skilled blockchain developers for the ecosystem, contributing to the growth and innovation of Web3.

As a comparison, @Polkadot has Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension (BABE), which uses a VRF to produce secret randomness which determines when they can produce blocks. Only when the block is revealed will we know who the valid block producer will be. https://t.co/yzgwmwjIcI

#bitcoin - Day 61 (possibly Day 54 alternative count).

Comfortably into the timing band. but declining phase remains dominant.

Don't let the waiting chop you up. The money is in the meat of the move, not the trim.

not sure what to think of this...

i…. just received a children’s book about a rabbit who travels back in time to medieval europe and gets everyone hyped about blockchain

[Alfonso Cevallos @cevalfonso]

Indeed!

I love that every single day there is something exciting happening in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems (or usually many somethings). It is the exact opposite of boring.

Hello World! We are AMJ-Stake and our first validator node on the #Kusama network with stash account "D8aDoqzNTeqbuxbZ79nHQZp95Nwew1nx3cz2uByMU5qBfhj" is live. We are three experts working in the crypto-industry with expertise in computer science, mathematics and economics.

After a long time waiting for your paper to be rejected by one journal, to be submitted to a new journal https://t.co/rNlpiljXSi

Parachains are the last piece of core functionality to be delivered as outlined in the whitepaper, and will allow Polkadot to realize its scalable multi-chain architecture. Parachains will launch via on-chain governance after a period of testing, optimization and auditing.

¿Qué es Polkadot? @PolkadotEspanol (abro hilo)
Sabemos que uno de los desafíos de las blockchains es cómo lograr que estén integradas, comunicadas, y se pueda pasar de una a la otra fácilmente.

Esto se va a descontrolar!

https://t.co/6ISZ57KTEo is the primary software architecture doc for parachains. Everything implemented appears first in the guide. It provides a fast testing ground for ideas reviewable by both researchers and developers and sets the stage for further client implementations

[Dan Reecer @danreecer_]

Polkadot is complicated as hell! This 24-tweet thread is a beginner's guide to @Polkadot $DOT and @KusamaNetwork $KSM in simple English.

What is Polkadot? Kusama? Parachains? Crowdloan and Parachain slot auction?

Comment with other questions and share if you learn something ⤵️

On a more sober note, new money flooding in surely means more investment into cool tech. Some projects will fail, but a few will succeed. The good stuff should hopefully stick!

This also means more jobs and more people entering space. That's pretty exciting. 🚀

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

It’s been a busy summer for Polkadot, see what you missed these last 6 weeks:

July 20, 2020
The very first council motion on Polkadot took place. The motion proposed to remove Sudo and make Polkadot permissionless.

@mewn21 @EAThomson @yangWao Research paper about the validator election protocol used in @Polkadot. It formalizes and combines the goals of proportional representation, verifiable security, and algorithmic efficiency.

[Alfonso Cevallos @cevalfonso]

Thanks a lot for the feedback @comprobarBebe

[Luis Sanchez Fdez (@dacomsoc.bsky.social) @comprobarBebe]

Mission accomplished! Very interesting paper. @cevalfonso @web3foundation @Polkadot

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery
