• 3 sided P2P
• Prosper , P2P Lending only 2 sided -> infrastructure for trade remains in a central place
• NameCoin as BitCoin DNS -> Frespeech plugin
• Codewallet
• the blockchain is the database, provides consensus
• building blocks of DAPPS:
  • P2P Network .bit Domain
  • Blockchain - consensus
  • Decentralized Storage
  • Reputation, Long Term player, Super nodes

VB - Cryptoeconomic Protocols In the Context of Wider Society

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S47iWiKKvLA
• Prisoners Dilemma Nash equilibrium
• Schelling Point
• Revolutions as a Coordination Problem
• Stones of Rai
• Markets as Punishments
• Courts as a hierachical Mechanism to increase attention
• Reputation => incentives work with any set of rules
• Blockchains:
  • distributed Database
  • is a set of Blocks, each Block contains a hash of previous
  • scope function
• Valuation equilibria
• factum Law: door between crypto to real world, enforcing rules without needing a real "enforcer", crypto subsides?
• smart contract, put it in a box..., prove a theorem?
• Scenario: Take over Attack
• Consensus system is a way of creating a complex valuation equilibrium and protecting it with: Corrdination, Grim Trigger equilibrium, Bounded rationality
• scaling problems
• crypto protocols are social Protocols
• through computing, finding ways to compute complex equilibria

Solidity

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIqGDNPO5YM&list=PLJqWcTqh_zKEjpSej3ddtDOKPRGl_7MhS&index=4
• solidity contract lanugage
• verify with formal proof
• "JS" Syntax for reach
• contracts primitives in language: contracts as classes. storage , variadic returns
• correct by "enable easier unit tests" , formal proof at compile time ( invariants?!), MMUA,
• Authority, check invariant

Ethereum IDE Mix

• slides: http://www.slideshare.net/gavofyork/the-ethereum-dapp-ide-mix
• try to solve a problem ( github is a service)
• (gitter??))
• writing dapps
• Many protocols:
  • ethereum - debug with Blockchain in special state
  • whipser - msg
  • swarm - data
• no Buttons, files abstracted ( good!, but devs doesnt seem to like it :/) , "local host" abstraction
• AST Representation
• state of the art imperative workflow
• implemented as a library
• "integration" : State/Transaction/Blockchain/Swarm/Git/Contract Repo
• I tweeted about this to puffnfresh, jon degoes, david barbour and paul chiusano, we'll see how that goes,
