*This is installment #1 of a collection where anyone can pose inquiries about Geth and I’ll strive to respond to the most popular one each week with a brief writeup. This week’s top voted question was: Would you mind explaining how the flat database structure differs from the legacy structure?* State in Ethereum Before delving into an optimization structure, let’s review what Ethereum refers to as state and how it is currently maintained at its various layers of abstraction. Ethereum holds two distinct types of state: the collection of accounts; and a series of storage slots for each contract account.…

“`html Binance’s Bitcoin Open Interest (OI) figures recently surged by 3.30% to $10.96B. The United States Consumer Price Index statistics stimulated this rise, suggesting further US interest rate cuts may be forthcoming. Should these rate reductions occur, the optimistic sentiment in crypto is likely to quicken – US investors will possess more disposable wealth to invest in higher-risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies. This market enthusiasm indicates promising times for utility-centric coins like $MIND, $SOLX, and $FLOCK. They might even become the next top cryptocurrency to achieve 100x returns. Let’s investigate the reasons why. 1. Mind of Pepe ($MIND) – AI…

Testnets, testnets, testnets! tl;dr Medalla testnet In light of the remarkable stability exhibited by Altona and following dialogues with eth2 client teams, Medalla – the forthcoming multi-client testnet – will have a MIN_GENESIS_TIME of 1596546000 (for those who might not think in unix time — August 4th, 2020, 1pm UTC)! This represents a significant advancement from Altona, indicating that Medalla is a testnet created for and sustained by the community. The multi-client testnets preceding Medalla were labeled “devnets”, primarily operated by client teams and members of the EF (see the Altona segment of my prior post for a more comprehensive…

Following several months of diligent effort from the eth2 research group, alongside Consensys and DeepWork Studio, we are thrilled to unveil the launch of the eth2 validator launchpad (testnet edition). We are issuing it at this moment so that you can monitor and contribute deposits to the forthcoming Medalla multi-client testnet. However, we will persist in optimizing the interface as we approach the mainnet launch. The objective of the launchpad is to simplify the transition to becoming an eth2 validator as much as possible, while ensuring security and understanding are not compromised. Unlike using a third-party provider, operating your own…

By Luisa Maria Jacinta C. Jocson, Correspondent REMITTANCES SENT BACK by overseas Filipino laborers (OFW) increased by an annual 3.3% in November, amidst the peso’s decline against the US dollar, as reported by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

Nevertheless, the remittance amount in November marked the lowest level in six months, or since the $2.58 billion recorded in May. On a month-to-month basis, cash remittances dropped by…
Ethereum can be sufficiently straightforward to comprehend from a high-level perspective: Decentralized applications driven by the same kind of crypto-economic assurances that support Bitcoin. However, once one zooms in to, for instance, a detailed view, complexities arise quickly. Even if one possesses a solid understanding of proof-of-work, it may not be immediately obvious how that relates to a blockchain doing more than tracking everyone’s unspent transaction outputs. Bitcoin employs computational labor to decentralize currency. Ethereum utilizes computational effort to decentralize abstract calculations. Huh? That abstraction is referred to as the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it serves as the core of…
