- No, your company/project doesn't need its own native cryptocurrency. If you aren't experts in the business of distributed systems innovation, your token is just adding noise. See how the existing crypto networks can work for you. Stop cluttering the field.
- I just finished a deep dive into Zether, a novel cryptocurrency protocol from researchers at Stanford and Visa. I am blown away with the work they have done. crypto.stanford.edu/~buenz/papers/… /1
- If you keep hearing about MimbleWimble, but have no idea what people are saying, I wrote an explainer to give a bit of a peek into what's causing the buzz. medium.com/@jcliff/behind…

- Improving scalability without sacrificing decentralization is the current holy grail in crypto. The project that first cracks this nut will be worth trillions. So far DAG and dPoS projects have made *zero* progress on this front.
- 1/ I dove into a new crypto protocol, ZEXE. It’s an exciting, if early, spec for a private distributed execution environment capable of expressive applications. The paper is a collaboration of researchers from UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Zcash and Cornell. eprint.iacr.org/2018/962.pdf
- There’s a lot of talk about price in crypto but it’s a lagging indicator. The best leading indicators are technology development. Here are 5 advancements in 2018 that I was particularly excited by. 1/
